The computing industry and the relevance of the IEE

The author describes IEE activities relevant to the computing industry, particularly those of the Computing and Control Division, and looks at ways in which some of these might be extended to show benefit to both IEE members and the computing industry in general. Of specific significance are the recent activities in the area of standards and guidelines, where the Division has now five working parties engaged in a variety of different tasks of relevance to the computing industry.
