Association for Computing Machinery
(ACM, before 1997 - "Association for Computing
Machinery") The largest and oldest international scientific
and educational computer society in the industry. Founded in
1947, only a year after the unveiling of ENIAC, ACM was
established by mathematicians and electrical engineers to
advance the science and application of {Information
Technology}. John Mauchly, co-inventor of the ENIAC, was
one of ACM's founders.
Since its inception ACM has provided its members and the world
of computer science a forum for the sharing of knowledge on
developments and achievements necessary to the fruitful
interchange of ideas.
ACM has 90,000 members - educators, researchers,
practitioners, managers, and engineers - who drive the
Association's major programs and services - publications,
special interest groups, chapters, conferences, awards, and
special activities.
The ACM Press publishes journals (notably CACM), book
series, conference proceedings, CD-ROM, hypertext,
video, and specialized publications such as curricula
recommendations and self-assessment procedures.
