History of the Proceedings

The journal was established in 1909, known as the ''Proceedings of the Wireless Institute''. Six issues were published under this banner by Greenleaf Pickard and Alfred Goldsmith. Then in 1911, a merger between the Wireless Institute (New York) and the Society of Wireless Telegraph Engineers (Boston) resulted in a society named the

Institute of Radio Engineers The Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) was a professional organization which existed from 1912 until December 31, 1962. On January 1, 1963, it merged with the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) to form the Institute of Electrical ...

Journal Content

Proceedings of the IEEE provides in-depth review, survey, and tutorial coverage of the technical developments in electronics, electrical and computer engineering, and computer science. * Reviews critically examine a technology, tracing its progress from its inception to the present—and perhaps into the future. * Surveys comprehensively view a technology—its applications, issues, ramifications, and potential. * Tutorials explain the technology and may give practical information for implementing it. The journal offers applications-oriented coverage that goes beyond the traditional boundaries typically found in other journals.

Special Issues and Regular Papers

The journal publishes approximately ten Special Issues and two regular paper issues per year. Special Issues are led by distinguished Guest Editor teams and contain articles from leading experts in the technology area being covered. They serve as a guide to the state-of-the-art and are highly valued by the core research community as well as specialists in other areas. Regular Paper Issues consist of three to four papers on more focused topics, giving readers background and insight into emerging areas.
