Unlike the IEEE, however, the ACM is solely dedicated to computing.

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

He is a Fellow of the ACM ( 1994 ) and an IEEE Fellow.

The database research area has several notable dedicated academic journals ( e. g., ACM Transactions on Database Systems-TODS, Data and Knowledge Engineering-DKE, and more ) and annual conferences ( e. g., ACM SIGMOD, ACM PODS, VLDB, IEEE ICDE, and more ), as well as an active and quite heterogeneous ( subject-wise ) research community all over the world.

The IEEE Computer Society and the ACM, the two main professional organizations of software engineering, publish guides to the profession of software engineering.

* Began his career as a researcher, and served as chairmans of several IEEE and ACM conferences

SIGCOMM also produces two refereed journals, Computer Communication Review ( which appears quarterly ), and IEEE / ACM Transactions on Networking, which appears bi-monthly ( the latter co-sponsored with IEEE ).

* IEEE / ACM Transactions on Networking

Bell also established the ACM Gordon Bell Prize ( administered by the ACM and IEEE ) in 1987 to encourage development in parallel processing.

Journals tracked on this site include VLDB, a journal for very large databases, the IEEE Transactions and the ACM Transactions.

He has served on the board of several scientific journals, including the IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, IEEE Computer, IEEE Software, ACM Computing Reviews, Automated Software Engineering, Software Process, and Information and Software Technology.

Other honors: J-D Warnier Prix d ’ Informatique, ACM Systems Software Award, NEC Computers & Communication Foundation Prize, Funai Foundation Prize, Lewis Branscomb Technology Award, ACM SIGCSE Award for Outstanding Contributions to Computer Science Education.

One developmental milestone occurred when the team from Northwestern University, which was responsible for the Chess series of programs and won the first three ACM Computer Chess Championships ( 1970 – 72 ), abandoned type B searching in 1973.

The resulting program, Chess 4. 0, won that year's championship and its successors went on to come in second in both the 1974 ACM Championship and that year's inaugural World Computer Chess Championship, before winning the ACM Championship again in 1975, 1976 and 1977.

For his contribution to the invention of the RSA cryptosystem, Adleman, along with Ron Rivest and Adi Shamir, has been a recipient of the 1996 Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award and the 2002 ACM Turing Award, often called the Nobel Prize of Computer Science.

He was a founding member and president of the Association for Computing Machinery ( ACM ) and also helped found the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics ( SIAM ).

He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1988 and received the ACM Turing Award in 1991.

Abelson is also the winner of the 1995 Taylor L. Booth Education Award given by IEEE Computer Society, cited for his continued contributions to the pedagogy and teaching of introductory computer science, and the winner of the 2012 ACM SIGCSE Award for Outstanding Contribution to Computer Science Education.

He was an ACM Fellow ( elected 1995 ), received an Award of Merit from the American Society for Information Science ( 1989 ), and was the first recipient of the SIGIR Award for outstanding contributions to study of information retrieval ( 1983 ) -- now called the Gerard Salton Award.

The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest, ICPC, traces its roots to a competition held at Texas A & M University in 1970 hosted by the Alpha Chapter of the Upsilon Pi Epsilon Computer Science Honor Society ( UPE ).

It is endorsed by the Association for Computing Machinery ( ACM ) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society ( IEEE-CS ), the two largest computer organizations in the world.

Four books ( Directions and Implications of Advanced Computing ; Reinventing Technology, Rediscovering Community ; Community Practice in the Network Society ; and Shaping the Network Society ) and two special sections in the Communications of the ACM (" Social Responsibility " and " Social Computing ") resulted from the DIAC symposia.

Since then, there have been several conferences and workshops, co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and ACM SIGGRAPH, devoted to the general topic, and special areas in the field, for example volume visualization.

Wallace was a fellow of the Australian Computer Society and in 1995 he was appointed a fellow of the ACM " For research in a number of areas in Computer Science including fast multiplication algorithm, minimum message length principle and its applications, random number generation, computer architecture, numerical solution of ODE's, and contribution to Australian Computer Science.

* Barton was the first recipient of the ACM / IEEE Computer Society Eckert – Mauchly Award in 1979: For his outstanding contributions in basing the design of computing systems on the hierarchical nature of programs and their data.
