ISHM—The international society

Abstract

As I considered my theme for this editorial, I could not help asking myself just how International ISHM really is. Are we really part of one great family of engineers all preoccupied with exploiting a technology that is significant today and will be even more so in the future as more and more complex requirements for interconnect are contrived, or is the Society something to which each individual country or continent belongs for what can be got out of it at the present moment, with little thought of the advantages the true breadth of ISHM membership should offer? Today a large part of the electronics activity is centred around the transmission and utilisation of information, so surely we of all people should take some advantage of this and ensure that we communicate with each other as this after all is one of the original aims of the Society.
