ALGOL ( short for ALGOrithmic Language ) is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in the mid 1950s which greatly influenced many other languages and was the standard method for algorithm description used by the ACM, in textbooks, and academic works for the next 30 years and more.

The Association for Computing Machinery ( ACM ) is a learned society for computing.

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

ACM is organized into over 170 local chapters and 35 Special Interest Groups ( SIGs ), through which it conducts most of its activities.

The ACM is a co – presenter and founding partner of the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing ( GHC ) with the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology.

The President of the ACM for 2012 – 2014 is Vint Cerf, an American computer scientist, who is recognized as one of " the fathers of the Internet ".

This institution is often referred to simply as " Council " in Communications of the ACM.

ACM – W, the ACM's committee on women in computing, is set up to support, inform, celebrate, and work with women in computing.

Among the top academic conferences for new research in hypertext is the annual ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia ( ACM SIGWEB Hypertext Conference page ).

Information on KOMPILER is listed on page 16 of Volume 2, Number 5 ( May 1959 ) of the Communications of the ACM.

An early use of the term is in Edsger Dijkstra's 1972 ACM Turing Award Lecture:

SIGGRAPH ( short for Special Interest Group on GRAPHics and Interactive Techniques ) is the name of the annual conference on computer graphics ( CG ) convened by the ACM SIGGRAPH organization.

The ACM A. M. Turing Award is an annual prize given by the Association for Computing Machinery ( ACM ) to " an individual selected for contributions of a technical nature made to the computing community ".

Since the quote is typically used to demonstrate the fallacy of predictions, if Watson did make such a prediction in 1943, then, as Gordon Bell pointed out in his ACM 50 years celebration keynote, it would have held true for some ten years.

The rule is attributed to Tom Cargill of Bell Labs and was made popular by Jon Bentley's September 1985 " Programming Pearls " column in Communications of the ACM, in which it was titled the " Rule of Credibility ".

Ripon is a member of the Associated Colleges of the Midwest ( ACM ), a grouping of private liberal arts schools that share expertise and collaborate on off-campus study programs.

He is the recipient of 2 Grammys, 16 CMA Awards, 17 ACM Awards and nominee of multiple other awards.

One well known subject classification system for computer science is the ACM Computing Classification System devised by the Association for Computing Machinery.

He is also the chair of the Editorial Advisory Board for ACM Queue, a magazine he helped found when he was President of the ACM.

He led the ACM Digital Library project 1992-97, which went live in 1997.

In the mid 1980s he led a joint ACM / IEEE committee that described computing as a discipline with nine

In the same year, ACM led the opposition to the campaign by the Australian Republican Movement, named " A Mate for a Head of State.

" However, Ozu states the AGM-129B was intended to be a non-nuclear version of the ACM, much as the nuclear AGM-86B led to the conventional AGM-86C.

The three-pronged program led to the CBU-92 / B ERAM ( Extended Range Anti-Armour Munition ), the CBU-90 / B ACM ( Anti-Armour Cluster Munition ), and the Wasp anti-armour missile.

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

The ACM Fellows Program was established by Council of the Association for Computing Machinery in 1993 " to recognize and honor outstanding ACM members for their achievements in computer science and information technology and for their significant contributions to the mission of the ACM.

In 1997, ACM Press published Wizards and Their Wonders: Portraits in Computing ( ISBN 0897919602 ), written by Christopher Morgan, with new photographs by Louis Fabian Bachrach.
