Name change for IISTName change for IIST

Four suggestions for staff consideration:

1. Institute of Information and TeleCommunication Sciences and Engineering – IITSE

2. Institute of Information and Communication Engineering Sciences - IICES

3. Institute of Information and Communication Sciences – IICS

4. Institute of Information Sciences and Engineering - IISE

Name change for IISTName change for IISTSuggestions from staff:• Professor Richard Harris

Well, I suggested that we needed a "sexy" title for our Institute, so we could have:Statistics, Electronics, Communications, Software, Information and Engineering - I SECSIE (pronounced 'sexy')........

• Assoc Professor Ray H KempAs another candidate for institute name, we could consider I SCIENGE. This is a portmanteau word combining science and engineering. More specifically it is an acronym of:Stats, Computing, Information Engineering and Electronics.

• Phil Etheridge I think we need a name which is bold, trendy and sexy. Therefore, I submit Statistics, Electronics,Computer Science and Information Engineering. I SECSIE

• Paul Lyons: The Institute of Informatics IIIt's short (Gosh, I'm tired of names that require to take a deep breath before uttering them, and thenrepeat, because your listener wasn't expecting to have to absorb a novel-length name)

It's descriptive.It already has considerable currency.It sounds hi-tech (without the negative vibes that people say are associated with the actual word "Technology")It isn't likely to be confused with the names of other groups on campus.

• Janina: Institute of Advanced Informatics IAI
