About the Computer
Society
With
nearly 100,000 members, the IEEE Computer Society is the world's leading
organization of computer professionals. Founded in 1946, it is the largest
of the 39 societies of the IEEE.
The
IEEE Computer Society's vision is to be the leading provider of
technical information, community services, and personalized services to
the world's computing professionals.
The
Society is dedicated to advancing the theory, practice, and application of
computer and information processing technology. Through its conferences,
applications-related and research-oriented journals,
local
and student
chapters, distance
learning campus, technical
committees, and standards
working groups, the Society promotes an active exchange of information,
ideas, and technological innovation among its members. In addition, the
Society maintains close ties with the US Computing Sciences Accreditation Board and Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology, monitoring and evaluating curriculum
accreditation guidelines.
With
about 40 percent of our members living and working outside the United States,
the Computer Society fosters international communication, cooperation, and
information exchange. To meet the needs of our members conveniently and
efficiently, the Society maintains a service center office in Tokyo, Japan;
a publications office in Los Alamitos,
California; and its headquarters in Washington, DC.
ComSoc is a Community . . .
. . . A
Community comprised of a diverse group of industry professionals with a
common interest in advancing all communications technologies. To that end,
the Society sponsors publications, conferences, educational programs, local
activities, and technical committees that:
Foster
original work in all aspects of communications science, engineering, and
technology.
Encourage the
development of applications that use signals to transfer voice, data,
image, and/or video information between locations.
Promote the
theory and use of systems involving all types of terminals, computers, and
information processors; all pertinent systems and operations that
facilitate transfer; all transmission media; switched and unswitched networks; and network layouts, protocols,
architectures, and implementations.
And strongly
advance developments toward meeting new market demands in systems,
products, and technologies such as personal communications services,
multimedia communications systems, enterprise networks, and optical
communications systems.
