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 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 ".

ACM is led by a Council consisting of the President, Vice – President, Treasurer, Past President, SIG Governing Board Chair, Publications Board Chair, three representatives of the SIG Governing Board, and seven Members – At – Large.

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.

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

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.

The ACM presents or co – presents a number of awards for outstanding technical and professional achievements and contributions in computer science and information technology.

Transmission, Gregory Chaitin also presents this theorem in J. ACM – Chaitin's paper was submitted October 1966 and revised in December 1968, and cites both Solomonoff's and Kolmogorov's papers.

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

* Birla Institute of Technology Mesra ( BIT – ACM )

* Birla Institute of Technology and Science ( BITS – ACM )

* National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences ( NUCES – ACM )

* University of Illinois, Urbana – Champaign ( UIUC ACM )

* ACM – Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences

* ACM – IEEE CS Ken Kennedy Award

* ACM – W Athena Lecturer Award

Dr. Anita Borg was a great supporter of ACM – W.

ACM – W provides various resources for women in computing as well as high school girls interested in the field.

ACM – W also reaches out internationally to those women who are involved and interested in computing.

* 1992 – ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award

Alexandre Noghès, Anthony's father, was founding president of the ACM, originally named Sport Vélocipédique Monégasque.

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 chair of ACM SIGPLAN and founding chair of ACM SIGecom.

He is a Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE, and is the founding Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Pervasive Computing.
