The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is known for its "long-standing commitment to ensuring the high quality of its conferences and of the conference proceedings published in IEEE Xplore®." Springer International Publishing (a.k.a. Birkhäuser Verlag AG, Springer, Cham) is "a preeminent scientific publisher with a reputation for excellence spanning more than 150 years." Venues, which publish their proceedings in Springer have, in the case for the IE2SPOMTG Members, also been technically co-sponsored by IEEE.
