The IEEE
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a non-profit organisation, and is the world’s leading professional association for the advancement of technology. There are more than 365,000 IEEE members in over 150 countries around the world. IEEE members are engineers, scientists and allied professionals whose technical interests are rooted in electrical and computer sciences, engineering and related disciplines.
The IEEE publishes nearly a third of the world’s technical literature in electrical engineering, computer science and electronics. This includes about 130 journals, transactions and magazines and over 400 conference proceedings published annually. IEEE journals are consistently among the most highly cited in electrical and electronics engineering, telecommunications and other technical fields. Each year, over 100,000 technical professionals attend the more than 300 conferences sponsored or cosponsored by the IEEE. From microelectronics and microwaves to sensors and security, IEEE conferences cover relevant topics that showcase the depth and breadth of members’ technical fields.
The IEEE is a leading developer of international standards that underpin many of today’s telecommunications, information technology and power generation products and services. Often the central source for standardisation in a broad range of emerging technologies, the IEEE Standards Association has a portfolio of some 900 active standards and more than 400 standards in development. This includes the prominent IEEE 802 standards for wireless networking.
