Projected Society Return on Investment (04/2006)
The above estimate is based on funding received
from the following Societies in 2006 Aerospace
Electronic Systems Communications Circuits
Systems Computational Intelligence Electron
Devices Engineering in Medicine Biology
Industry Applications Lasers Electro-Optics
Microwave Theory Techniques Power Electronics
Reliability Robotics Automation Solid-State
Circuits Systems, Man Cybernetics Vehicular
Technology. These numbers are based on
institutional subscription sales only Net
Revenue from Member Sales will also be added when
final overall IEEE Net Revenue figures are
calculated. Please note that this revenue
will be distributed to the individual Societies
using a formula based on return on investment and
usage statistics. This a pilot revenue
distribution model and will be reviewed for
appropriateness and fairness in 2008.
