Please forward this to your appropriate colleagues and encourage them to attend! CRA-Industry Virtual Roundtable on Corporate Responsibility and Computing Research July 14, 2021 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM Eastern Time Today, more companies are deliberately extending their social responsibility initiatives at the behest of investors, customers, and employees. How should industry be viewing and factoring societal equity into its research agendas? This roundtable will explore the concept, principles, and best practices of socially responsible computing research. Ideally, participants will gain a sense of considerations that might apply to their strategic research planning by developing a broad framework for the concept of research equity that goes beyond recent examples in machine learning. About the CRA-Industry Committee CRA-Industry, a standing committee of the Computing Research Association (CRA), was created in the Fall of 2020 with the goal of reaching out to industry partners involved in computing research and giving them new opportunities to convene and connect on topics of mutual interest. The committee also facilitates the interaction between industry partners and other organizations deeply involved in computing research, including academic institutions and government agencies. You can learn more about CRA-Industry by visiting our web page and/or signing up for our mailing list. 3 cra.org/crn June 2021 Compared to Peers, Students from Low-Income Backgrounds Report Less Awareness of – but Greater Interest in – Formal Research Experiences By Kristi Kelly, Research Associate Previous CERP analyses have broadly examined why non-participation in formal research experiences as their peers undergraduate students do not participate in formal research who come from middle- or high-income backgrounds. experiences.

  • SIGOPS Annual Report 2012
    SIGOPS Annual Report 2012 Fiscal Year July 2012-June 2013 Submitted by Jeanna Matthews, SIGOPS Chair Overview SIGOPS is a vibrant community of people with interests in “operatinG systems” in the broadest sense, includinG topics such as distributed computing, storaGe systems, security, concurrency, middleware, mobility, virtualization, networkinG, cloud computinG, datacenter software, and Internet services. We sponsor a number of top conferences, provide travel Grants to students, present yearly awards, disseminate information to members electronically, and collaborate with other SIGs on important programs for computing professionals. Officers It was the second year for officers: Jeanna Matthews (Clarkson University) as Chair, GeorGe Candea (EPFL) as Vice Chair, Dilma da Silva (Qualcomm) as Treasurer and Muli Ben-Yehuda (Technion) as Information Director. As has been typical, elected officers agreed to continue for a second and final two- year term beginning July 2013. Shan Lu (University of Wisconsin) will replace Muli Ben-Yehuda as Information Director as of AuGust 2013. Awards We have an excitinG new award to announce – the SIGOPS Dennis M. Ritchie Doctoral Dissertation Award. SIGOPS has lonG been lackinG a doctoral dissertation award, such as those offered by SIGCOMM, Eurosys, SIGPLAN, and SIGMOD. This new award fills this Gap and also honors the contributions to computer science that Dennis Ritchie made durinG his life. With this award, ACM SIGOPS will encouraGe the creativity that Ritchie embodied and provide a reminder of Ritchie's leGacy and what a difference a person can make in the field of software systems research. The award is funded by AT&T Research and Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, companies that both have a strong connection to AT&T Bell Laboratories where Dennis Ritchie did his seminal work.

Professional Experience: Professor, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, 2006 – Present; Associate /Assistant Professor, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, 1994 – 2006; Visiting Scientist, IBM, TJ Watson Research Center, 2000 – 2001. Professional Interest: Parallel Computing; Performance Measurement Tools; Auto-tuning; Binary Instrumentation; Computer Security. ACM Activities: Vice Chair, SIGHPC, 2011 – Present; Member, ACM Committee on Future of SIGs, 2014 – 2015; General Chair, SC Conference, 2012; Steering Committee Member (and Chair '13), SC Conference, 2009 – 2014. Membership and Offices in Related Organizations: Editor in Chief, PARCO, 2009 – Present; Program Chair, IPDPS, 2016; Board Member, Computing Research Association (CRA), 2008 – 2010. Awards Received: IPDPS, Best Paper - Software, 2011; SC, Best Paper - Student lead Author, 2005; IPDPS, Best Paper - Software, 2000. STATEMENT There is a critical need for a strong SIGHPC. Until SIGHPC was founded five years ago, the members of the HPC community lacked a home within ACM. While the SC conference provides a nexus for HPC activity in the fall, we needed a full-time community. Now that the initial transition of the SC conference from SIGARCH to SIGHPC is nearly complete, the time is right to start considering what other meetings and activities SIGHPC should undertake. We need to carefully identify meetings to sponsor or co-sponsor. Also, SIGHPC needs to continue and expand its role as a voice for the HPC community. This includes mentoring young professionals, actively identifying and nominating members for society wide awards, and speaking for the HPC community within both the scientific community and society at large.

Schneider, Fred B Gries, David Teitelbaum, Tim Hartmanis, Juris Van Loan, Charlie (Click on a name above to scroll to an abstract and a live link to the associated streaming video.) version: 16Jun16 1. KEN BIRMAN Ken Birman, who joined CS in 1981, exemplifies the successful synergy of research and entrepreneurial activities. His research in distributed systems led to his founding ISIS Distributed Systems, Inc., in 1988, which developed software used by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Swiss Exchange, the French Air Traffic Control sys- tem, the AEGIS warship, and others. He started two other companies, Reliable Network Solutions and Web Sci- ences LLC. This entrepreneurship has in turn generated new research ideas and has also led to Ken’s advising various organi- zations on distributed systems and cloud computing, including the French Civil Aviation Organization, the north- eastern electric power grid, NATO, the US Treasury, and the US Air Force. Ken has received several awards for his research, among them the IEEE Tsutomu Kanai Award for his work on trustworthy computing, the Cisco “Technology Visionary” award, and the ACM SIGOPS Hall of Fame Award. He also has written two successful texts.
