IEEE Computer Society (commonly known as the Computer Society or CS) is a technical society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) dedicated to computing, namely the major areas of hardware, software, standards and people,[2] "advancing the theory, practice, and application of computer and information processing science and technology."[3] It was founded in 1946 and is the largest of 39 technical societies organized under the IEEE Technical Activities Board[4] with over 375,000 members[5] in 150 countries, more than 100,000 being based in the United States alone.[6]

It operates as a "global, non-governmental, not-for-profit professional society"[6] publishing 23 peer-reviewed journals, facilitating numerous technical committees, and developing IEEE computing standards,[7][8][5][6][9] It maintains its headquarters in Washington, DC and additional offices in California, China, and Japan.[10]
