IEEE Computer Society traces its origins to the Subcommittee on Large-Scale Computing, established in 1946 by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE),and to the Professional Group on Electronic Computers, established in 1951 by the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE).
When the AIEE merged with the IRE in 1963 to form the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), these two committees became the IEEE Computer Group. The group established its own constitution and bylaws in 1971 to become the IEEE Computer Society.
The CS maintains its headquarters in Washington, D.C. and additional offices in California and Japan.
The Computer Society maintains volunteer boards in six program areas:
In addition, 12 standing committees administer activities such as the CS elections and its awards programs to recognize professional excellence.
The Computer Society is a leading publisher of technical material in computing.
Its publications include 13 peer-reviewed technical magazines and 20 scholarly journalscalled Transactions as well as conference proceedings, books, and a variety of digital products.
The Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL) provides subscriber access to all CS publications. In 2008, the Computer Society launched Computing Now, a Web portal featuring free access to a rotation of CSDL articles, along with technical news, CS blogs, and multimedia content.
As most publications are delivered digitally in 2014, computer society launched complementary monthly digest "Computing Edge" magazine, which consists of curated articles from its magazines.
