Anita Carleton, Grace Lewis, and Roman Danyliw.

Two members of the SEI’s Software Solutions Division (SSD) were selected for leadership posts in the IEEE Computer Society in 2024. Anita Carleton, director of the SSD, was elected chair of the advisory board for IEEE Software, one of the organization’s journals. Grace Lewis, an SSD principal researcher and lead of the Tactical and AI-Enabled Systems Initiative, was elected the society’s president for 2026 and will serve as president-elect in 2025.

IEEE CS is the largest community of computer scientists and engineers. It publishes dozens of magazines and journals and runs many professional conferences and other programs to empower professionals in computer science and engineering and advance the field.

In March 2024, Roman Danyliw, the SEI’s deputy chief technology officer, was selected to be chair of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which develops voluntary standards that guide the evolution, architecture, and smooth operation of the internet. Danyliw oversaw the group’s operations during 2024.

Danyliw is also the General Area director of the IETF’s Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) and a member of the IETF’s Internet Architecture Board (IAB). Together these bodies guide the immediate management of and long-range direction for internet standards.
