honored as IEEE Fellow and ACM Fellow due to their academic
achievements.
I fully ascribe to the motto promoted under former Director Dr. Der-Tsai
Lee―"Every job is a self-portrait of those who did it. Autograph your work
with quality." This mentality conveys that the ultimate goal of academic
research is not monetary fortune, but rather the fortune of mankind. On
top of that, I support and hope to carry on the spirit expressed by Dr.
Yuan-Tseh Lee, the former President of Academia Sinica, when he said,
"Share the fruit of knowledge with all mankind."
Finally, I.I.S., which stands for Institute of Information Science, also
stands for the following: "I" for Integrity- may upright be our name; "I"
for Innovation- impactful research always originates from creativity;
"S" for Serenity-rather than the literal Chinese translation of "silence,"
its greater meaning derives from the saying, "A simple life preserves
integrity, tranquility yields transcendence." This inner quietness empowers
researchers to enlarge their scope and vision, and to be still when faced
with a problem, and then make a sound judgment that truly solves the
problem by the given wisdom.
Let's do it and strive for excellence!
