Page "Association for Computing Machinery" Paragraph 20

ACM's primary historical competitor has been the IEEE Computer Society, which is the largest subgroup of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

The IEEE focuses more on hardware and standardization issues than theoretical computer science, but there is considerable overlap with ACM's agenda.

They occasionally cooperate on projects like developing computing curricula.

Some of the major awards in Computer science are given jointly by ACM and the IEEE – CS.
