President's Message

Dear Visitor,

I’m glad to welcome you on the web site of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society.

I assume that, if you’re visiting these pages, you share my same interest in this attractive and challenging tool for the advancement of Human Knowledge provided by Instrumentation and Measurement.  But maybe I’m wrong, and you’re an occasional visitor, brought here by the result of a search query or simply by chance. Also in this case, let me ask you not to leave the site immediately, and let me take your attention for a few moments. Maybe you too will find an interest into this field of Science and Technology that plays such an important role in our everyday life.

The Field of Interest of the Instrumentation and Measurement Society encompasses measurement systems and science. The Society seeks to advance knowledge:

1. in the theory, methodology, and practice of measurement, including, but not limited to, primary metrology, measurement uncertainty, and traceability;
2. in the design, development and evaluation of measurement systems, or any of their components, involved in generating, acquiring, conditioning and processing signals for the purpose of measuring quantities and phenomena of interest;
3. in the analysis, representation, display, and preservation of the information obtained from a set of measurements so as to best meet the needs of the end-user, whether human or machine; and
4. through the establishment and maintenance of related technical standards.
