WISC 2021 Team Award

This year, for the first time, the WISC is pleased to present a TEAM AWARD for outstanding contributions to the WISC Symposium This award is jointly presented by the IEEE TCSVC, IEEE SERVICES and CCF TCSC. This award recognizes the efforts of two outstanding contributors who worked 'behind the scenes' to make the symposium a success. Mari Abe, IBM Cloud and Cognitive Software,is one of the Program Chairs of WISC this year, and has devoted countless hours in planning the agenda, securing speakers, preparing materials, and following up on every detail to insure that the symposium ran flawlessly. We owe Mari a enormous 'thank you' for her dedication and attention to all the activities which made the symposium a technical and professional success. Yuki Abe, who is also Mari's sister, and an accomplished writer and designer, developed our WISC logo, which captures the spirit and intention of WISC. Yuki designed an entire set of logos with various type faces and color schemes which we can use in various materials, and for many years.

We are very fortunate to have two such dedicated and generous women as part of our WISC family. Thank you, Mari and Yuki!
