Proceedings of the IEEE

Proceedings of the IEEE is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Proceedings of the IEEE rather than just read about it. In short: The Proceedings of the IEEE is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The journal focuses on electrical engineering and computer science.

Key takeaways

Proceedings of the IEEE belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Proceedings of the IEEE to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Proceedings of the IEEE from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Proceedings of the IEEE is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The journal focuses on electrical engineering and computer science. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2017 impact factor of 9.107, ranking it sixth in the category "Engineering, Electrical & Electronic." In 2018, it became fifth with an enhanced impact factor of 10.694.

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 (IRE). In January 1913 newly formed IRE published the first issue of the Proceedings of the IRE. Later, a 1000-page special issue commemorated the IRE's fiftieth anniversary in May 1962. One of the founding editors, Alfred Norton Goldsmith, tallied 42 years as the first editor-in-chief. When the IEEE was formed in 1963 as a merger of IRE and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the journal obtained its current name.

Journal content The 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.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Proceedings of the IEEE

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Proceedings of the IEEE claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Proceedings of the IEEE before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Proceedings of the IEEE ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Proceedings of the IEEE

In research: Proceedings of the IEEE appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Proceedings of the IEEE in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Proceedings of the IEEE is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1913 establishments in the United States, Computer science journals, Engineering journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Proceedings of the IEEE outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
