Proceedings of the IEEE also publishes two special features, Point of View and Scanning Our Past.

Point of View

The Point of View feature allows authors to explore topics of personal interest and of interest to members of the IEEE community. This format provides a forum for both information exchange and discussion of important topics. The scope of this section ranges from opinions on the importance of particular new concepts or discoveries to discussion of educational and professional trends to personal positions and predictions on various technical topics.
