Society &Membership
Everything to know about the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society — its mission, technical scope, publications, conferences, and the benefits that come with membership.
Advancing circuits and systems for the benefit of humanity
The IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) is the leading organisation promoting the advancement of the theory, analysis, computer-aided design and practical implementation of circuits, and the application of circuit-theoretic techniques to systems and signal processing.
It gives engineers, researchers and scientists access to the industry’s most essential technical information, networking, career-development tools and many other member benefits.
“To foster technological innovation and excellence in fundamentals, emerging directions, and applications of circuits and systems for the benefit of humanity through an interdisciplinary community of researchers, educators, students, and practitioners.”

Technical scope
CASS spans the theory, analysis, design, tools and implementation of circuits and systems — their theoretical foundations, applications and architectures, and circuits-and-systems implementations of algorithms for signal and information processing.
Key publications
IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I (TCAS-I)
Original research on the theory, design and analysis of circuits and systems — fundamental and applied.
IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II (TCAS-II)
A rapid-publication letters journal for brief papers on novel discoveries, ideas and results.
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits & Systems (TBioCAS)
The interface of life sciences and engineering — from neural interfaces to wearable health monitors.
IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems (TVLSI)
Co-sponsored by CASS: design, fabrication, testing and application of VLSI systems.
IEEE Circuits and Systems Magazine
Included with membership — industry trends, feature articles on emerging technology, tutorials and Society news.
CAS Society Newsletter
Free for members — Society news, events, member spotlights and calls for papers.
Flagship conferences
ISCAS — IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems
The premier annual forum for circuits and systems theory, design and implementation, with technical sessions, tutorials and workshops. ISCAS 2026, themed “Circuits and Systems for Intelligent Society”, is in Shanghai, China.
NEWCAS — IEEE North East Workshop on Circuits and Systems
A regional annual conference on emerging research — a strong forum for young researchers to present alongside established experts.
MWSCAS — IEEE Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems
One of the oldest circuits-and-systems symposia, from analog and digital design to signal processing and communications.
CASS seasonal schools & workshops
Specialised schools on emerging topics such as quantum circuits, biomedical systems and AI hardware — the Bangalore Chapter hosts local editions.
Technical committees
CASS has 14 Technical Committees and three Special Interest Groups, open to any IEEE member. Membership is by recommendation, approved by active TC members — typically at ISCAS. To join, contact the relevant TC Chair via the CASS website.
Student membership
