IEEE COMMUNICATIONS SOCIETY Karl Rauscher October 17, 2006 Questions you may be asking... What is the IEEE CQR? What is the purpose of CQR? How do I become a member of CQR? How do I get more involved in CQR? What is the value of CQR?

IEEE COMMUNICATIONS SOCIETY Karl Rauscher October 17, 2006 Questions you may be asking... What is the IEEE CQR?- a professional society What is the purpose of CQR?- to build YOU up How do I become a member of CQR? - you already are How do I get more involved in CQR?- ICC, GLOBECOM, workshops, journals, something new... What is the value of CQR?- networking, peer review, special workshops, coaching

IEEE COMMUNICATIONS SOCIETY Karl Rauscher October 17, 2006 Step back in time to the 2001 CQR International Workshop Issue discussed in a facilitated discussion: What is the complete list of things that can cause outages in emerging data networks? Background: took a while to learn circuit switched business... would be nice to have a faster learning curve.
