Abstract

IASpass announces the first Mobile Application targeting the IEEE-IAS community. A convenient tool on the fingertips of individuals interested in connecting with key-members among IAS peers, IASpass personalizes IAS contacts, informs user on regional Business Etiquette and mimics an IAS-related pocket newsstand, gathering the Society's latest news, worldwide. Via integrated Google Maps API and RSS feeds, it locates the active, promising IAS cores and notifies on future events, even when on the move. In a way, it serves as a privileged passport for members travelling abroad. Altogether, IASpass is an Android-based application that effectively takes IEEE Industry Applications Society's networking to the next level. IAS has gone mobile.

Why IASpass

• Among a (young) professional’s most important assets: his Network

This app vividly provides one with the chance to realize what IEEE IAS’ true Network width is.

• An IAS member traveling abroad is never alone

With IEEE IAS’ worldwide presence, there’s always a welcoming friendly community nearby, in which the user is a foreigner no more! It serves as a privileged passport.

• Provides IAS with a mobile device identity

In time, an organization’s mobile identity has grown necessary. Therefore, in a young individual’s perspective, existence of such an application, carries the weight of the organization’s status.

• A useful tool in a chapter’s membership development strategy

A “catchy” response to a potential student member’s: “I want to know more about IAS”. This app concentrates info on any chapter worldwide, routes the user to the chapter’s offices, directs them to necessary web pages and feeds with the latest news.

IASpass basic structure

• IASpass started in 2014 as a basic level android application. Now it is more.

• IASpass structure is mainly based on:
• Google Maps API v2
(Anything regarding the map view’s display).
• RSS Reader
(Usage of RSS feeds of any type, to gather latest news and useful articles or links and present them to the user, simply accessible).
• SAX xml parser
(To recognize information in XML format and automatically grab and include them, for example in a list).

The Target Group of IASpass

• IASpass targets all existing and future IEEE IAS Members.

• IASpass covers the entire IAS Database (Sections, Chapters etc.).

Therefore, this app is a useful tool in the hands of every single IEEE IAS member interested in connecting with IAS key-members all around the world.

• Possibly Future: In time, an IASpass-based App could even serve as a personalized tool for every single IEEE Society, provided as an IAS initiative, intended for use by every single active IEEE member. And the name of it: IEEEcompass

The possible future of IASpass

• Providing the user with the ability to add:
a) Each list’s row element (different chapter) could be click enabled (e.g. to open a new activity to e-mail the chapter’s chair).
b) Notes (new IAS contacts or other useful (to them) info regarding IAS)
c) His personal preferred RSS feed sources
d) Login via IEEE account to have personalized news sources based on Region or Chapter (for example each Chapter could provide different news sources for member, like their websites’ RSS feed for local events)

• IASpass could contain the Business Etiquette regarding the field of interest of IAS, for every single country IAS is involved with (120+ Countries). Submitted by IAS local members.

The effect for IEEE, IAS and the world

This app serves to remind all IEEE IAS members that our Society is more than just a professional network that shows up in technical papers and published works.

Participation in our community, consisting of men and women of various ages, ethnic backgrounds and statuses, creates a platform in which sharing of new ideas, constant innovations and enthusiasm is amplified. This makes a stronger impact in the advancement of technology and sparks new interest in all the various fields that form the very basis of this society.

This app means to unite IAS members all over the world, bringing that vast network at their fingertips.

Amongst others, IAS contacts, are now your personal contacts, stored on your phone.
