On December 8, 2024, Dr. Eugene Song was recognized at the 2024 IEEE Standards Association (SA) Awards Ceremony held in Somerset, New Jersey. At this annual event, the IEEE SA recognizes outstanding participation across a variety of areas including standards development and standards-related work, leadership, and distinguished service, through awards including the Standards Medallion Award, Standards Committee Award, Emerging Technology Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, and more. The IEEE SA Standards Medallion is awarded for major contributions to the development of standards, including:
- Leadership in standardization of new technologies
- Assuring achievement of standards development goals
- Identifying opportunities to better serve the needs of standards users
- Other contributions viewed as deserving of such recognition
At the event, Dr. Eugene Song received his 2024 IEEE SA Medallion Award “for exceptional leadership as Working Group Chair driving the development of IEEE 1451.0™-2024 standard for smart transducer interfaces for sensors and actuators.” The IEEE 1451.0TM-2024 Standard, published on June 26, 2024, defines common functions of Internet of Things (IoT) sensor network devices, network services, transducer services, and transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS) formats to help achieve interoperability in network and transducer interfaces. This standard also defines the universal unique identification (UUID), security framework, and time synchronization framework for IEEE 1451.0-based IoT sensor networks. IoT sensor network devices (smart sensors and/or actuators, controller devices) equipped with UUID, TEDS, and standardized interfaces and communication protocols can thus achieve global identity, time-synchronized, secured, and plug-and-play interoperability, making IoT sensor network installation, maintenance, and upgrades easier and reducing the total life-cycle costs of IoT sensor networks.
