SIGs and Hot Teams
What is a SIG?
A ComETS SIG is a group of individuals who form a Special Interest Group to address a topic, explore a specific platform, or help provide campus leadership around specific issues.
SIGs often form out of ComETS events where interest in a topic is generated. In other cases, ComETS
members identify a topic of interest and form a SIG independently (on its own volition).
A SIG forms around any special interest and only disbands when there
is no longer enough interest to keep it going.
What is a Hot Team?
A Hot Team is a short-term group that forms to explore a new technology / application, produces a white paper to summarize their exploration, and disbands after a specified time limit (ex: 6-8 weeks to one semester).
