Swiss members of IFIP Working Groups (WG)
Working Groups are international meeting opportunities for scientists on special topics. WG members discuss about new problems and solutions, terminology and similar aspects focused on their field of interest. New members are elected by the current members of a WG through co-option only, based on their scientific reputation and readiness to participate. The list of Swiss WG members shows how active Switzerland is in IT research.
