The problem with a nude however presented on the cover of an IEEE
publication is the same problem I've seen in ads for some electronic
parts advertised in similar publications:  using women's bodies to
sell products.  It's certainly a popular advertising technique these
days with all kinds of products.  

Since it's a professional society that some of us belong to maybe we
can have an impact on their policies.  I also think it reflects 
an attitude that all of the readers they are targeting are
heterosexual males.
