For almost 5 years Applied Digital Imaging has been providing perfect bound proceedings books for the IEEE Computer Society.  When the IEEE Computer Society was looking at On-Demand digital printing to fulfill proceedings orders, they asked Randy Bilof of Quantum Publishing (www.quantumps.com), a publishing services company for advice. Randy, formerly with SPIE (www.spie.org), an international scientific society, and a contract editor for The Computer Society, suggested that the IEEE Computer Society talk to ADI.

Randy, who had had over 10 years of working experience with ADI, was quick to call on his old friends. From that point on ADI has developed a very good partnership with the IEEE Computer Society. To produce The Computer Society books, ADI and the IEEE Computer Society use an all digital, pdf workflow. When a proceedings book is ready to print, The IEEE Computer Society editor sends print specifications and requests a quotation. Once the job is awarded composed pdf files for the cover and the interior pages are uploaded to the ADI ftp site. ADI take it from there. They quickly send a hard copy proof of the cover and the interior pages, often with less than a 48 hour turnaround. The editor reviews the proofs and replies by email. The books are then printed, bound and shipped all over the world by ADI.

The majority of the books that ADI produces for The IEEE Computer Society are perfect bound, 8.5" x 11" books with a 2 or 4-color, laminated cover. ADI also prints similar type books in a 6" x 9" format and provide case (hardcover) books as well.

About IEEE Computer Society (from the IEEE Computer Society website)

With nearly 100,000 members, the IEEE Computer Society is the world's leading organization of computer professionals. Founded in 1946, it is the largest of the 39 societies of the IEEE.

The IEEE Computer Society's vision is to be the leading provider of technical information, community services, and personalized services to the world's computing professionals.

The Society is dedicated to advancing the theory, practice, and application of computer and information processing technology. Through its conferences, applications-related and research-oriented journals, local and student chapters, distance learning campus, technical committees, and standards working groups, the Society promotes an active exchange of information, ideas, and technological innovation among its members. In addition, the Society maintains close ties with the US Computing Sciences Accreditation Board and Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, monitoring and evaluating curriculum accreditation guidelines.
