IEEE Introduction
Founded on New Year’s Day in 1963, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the world’s largest professional association for technical writers today. With in excess of 400,000 members in over 160 countries around the globe, IEEE accounts for 30 percent of world’s literature in the fields of electrical and electronics as well as computer science. Headquartered in Piscataway, New Jersey and with its corporate office located in New York, the non-profit organization formed from the merger of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (founded 1884) and the Institute of Radio Engineers (founded 1912). The association’s membership predominantly consists of scientists and engineers along with allied professionals that include software developers, IT professionals and medical experts. The sole goal of the association is to work towards innovations and standardizations in the field of the electrical and electronic development industry. Besides that, the organization aims at developing, maintaining and implementing services and products focused on technology.
Amongst the various associations that exist within IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is one of the more renowned ones. The organization is known to develop global standards for a wide range of industries such as power and energy, IT and robotics, telecommunication, biomedical and healthcare and nanotechnology. The standards are carefully designed through programs that offer balance, openness, consensus and fair practices. Of the numerous standards under IEEE-SA, the most renowned ones are IEE 802 for LAN, IEEE 802.11 for Wireless Networking (Wi-Fi) and IEEE 802.15.2 for Bluetooth.
Additionally, IEEE is very well known for imparting and publishing industry information through conferences and publication by partnering with academic institutions over the years. Undergraduate and graduate students play a major role in the conferences, technical and student chapter activities. The students are responsible for creating and sustaining the chapters. Over 150 students’ chapters exist around the world, providing students with opportunities to meet industry leaders and participate in specialized development activities.

Five IT Engineering Challenges with Scaling Enterprise Security Workflows and How to Solve Them
White Paper By: Avere Systems
Every organization’s primary challenge is to avoid bottlenecks to and from storage as the infrastructure scale to incorporate larger datasets. This includes managing unfiltered, real-time stream of data from tens of thousands of users and assets at every layer of the IT infrastructure—which includes scaling enterprise security log and analytics workflows. ...
Advanced Beamforming Microphone Array Technology For Corporate Conferencing Systems
White Paper By: Clear One
Beamforming is a signal processing technique carried out by a processor using input from the beamforming microphone array. Advanced beamforming techniques employ interference patterns to change the directionality of the array, so that information collected from the various microphones can be combined to give preference to the expected acoustic patterns. With good design and engineering,...
