Symposium on Principles of Distributed ComputingThe ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC) is an academic conference in the field of distributed computing organised annually by the Association for Computing Machinery (special interest groups SIGACT and SIGOPS). Scope and related conferencesWork presented at PODC typically studies theoretical aspects of distributed computing, such as the design and analysis of distributed algorithms.
Symposium on Principles of Programming LanguagesAcademic conference in the field of computer science The annual ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL) is an academic conference in the field of computer science, with focus on fundamental principles in the design, definition, analysis, and implementation of programming languages, programming systems, and programming interfaces.ACM SIGACTACM SIGACT or SIGACT is the Association for Computing MachinerySpecial Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory, whose purpose is support of research in theoretical computer science. It was founded in 1968 by Patrick C. Fischer. PublicationsSIGACT publishes a quarterly print newsletter, SIGACT News. Its online version, SIGACT News Online, is available since 1996 for SIGACT members, with unrestricted access to some features.Symposium on Computational GeometryThe International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG) is an academic conference in computational geometry. Today its acronym is pronounced "sausage." It was founded in 1985, with the program committee consisting of David Dobkin, Joseph O'Rourke, Franco Preparata, and Godfried Toussaint; O'Rourke was the conference chair. The symposium was originally sponsored by the SIGACT and SIGGRAPH Special Interest Groups of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
SIGAIACM SIGAI is the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (AI), an interdisciplinary group of academic and industrial researchers, practitioners, software developers, end users, and students. SIGAI, previously called SIGART, started in 1966, publishes the SIGART Bulletin and Intelligence Magazine.
Theoretical computer scienceTheoretical computer science is a subfield of computer science and mathematics that focuses on the abstract and mathematical foundations of computation. It is difficult to circumscribe the theoretical areas precisely.
Association for Computing MachineryThe Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is an international learned society for computing founded on September 15, 1947, and headquartered in New York City. The ACM is a non-profit professional membership group, reporting nearly 110,000 student and professional members as of 2024. The ACM is an umbrella organization for academic and scholarly interests in computer science (informatics). Its motto is "Advancing Computing as a Science & Profession".
SIGGRAPHSIGGRAPH is an annual conference centered around computer graphics organized by the ACM. It was first held in 1974 in Boulder, Colorado. The main conference has always been held in North America; SIGGRAPH Asia, a second conference held annually, has been held since 2008 in countries throughout Asia, as well as twice in Australia.Patrick C. FischerPatrick Carl Fischer (December 3, 1935 – August 26, 2011) was an American computer scientist, a noted researcher in computational complexity theory and database theory, and a target of the Unabomber. BiographyFischer was born December 3, 1935, in St. Louis, Missouri. His father, Carl H. Fischer, became a professor of actuarial mathematics at the University of Michigan in 1941, and the family moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he grew up.
European Association for Theoretical Computer ScienceThe European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) is an international organization with a European focus, founded in 1972. Its aim is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and results among theoretical computer scientists as well as to stimulate cooperation between the theoretical and the practical community in computer science.
SIGMODSIGMOD is the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Management of Data, which specializes in large-scale data management problems and databases. The annual ACM SIGMOD Conference, which began in 1975, is considered one of the most important in the field, and received an A* ranking over all edition of the CORE Conference Ranking system.Special interest groupA special interest group (SIG) is a community within a larger organization with a shared interest in advancing a specific area of knowledge, learning or technology where members cooperate to effect or to produce solutions within their particular field, and may communicate, meet, and organize conferences. The term was used in 1961 by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), an academic and professional computer society.*As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
