SIGPLAN FY '05 Annual Report
SIGPLAN FY '05 Annual Report July 2004—June 2005 Submitted by Jack W. Davidson, SIGPLAN Chair This year ACM SIGPLAN has continued its active sponsorship of many conferences and workshops as well as its two newsletters. SIGPLAN's present financial situation is strong, and our fund balance grew in FY 2005 after three consec- utive years of losses. Our fund balance comfortably exceeds the required minimum. Our conferences overall incurred financial gains, including OOPSLA, our largest conference, which had incurred a significant financial loss for each of the three preceding years. We were more selective with funding worthwhile projects such as student travel, funding these at about one half the level of recent years. A good resource for monitoring our activities is our web page, found at http://www.acm.org/sigplan/. 1. Conferences We sponsored seven annual conferences last year, GPCE (with SIGSOFT), ICFP, LCTES (with SIGBED), OOP- SLA, PLDI, POPL (with SIGACT), and PPDP. We also sponsored PPoPP and ISMM, which are held approxi- mately biannually. Of these conferences, PLDI, POPL and PPoPP appear in the Citeseer top 15 of more than 1200 Computer Science publication venues, based on their citation rates. We sponsored numerous workshops, including AADEBUG, BUGS, CUFP, Erlang, FOOL, Haskell, IVME, MSP, PLAN-X, Scheme, TLDI, and PEPM. Financial results for our conferences were positive. Conference attendance has been holding steady, with a dramatic increase in student participation. Conferences continue to receive far more submissions than we can accept, and our major conferences continue to be extremely selective. We have separate steering committees for all of our conferences. -
2021 ACM Awards Call for Nominations
Turing Award The A. M. Turing Award is ACM's oldest and most prestigious award. It is presented annually to an individual or a group of individuals who have made lasting contributions of a technical nature to the computing community. The long-term influence of a candidate’s work is taken into consideration, but there should be a singular outstanding and trend-setting technical achievement that constitutes the claim of the award. The award is presented each June at the ACM Awards Banquet and is accompanied by a prize of $1,000,000 plus travel expenses to the banquet. Financial support for the award is provided by Google Inc. ACM Prize in Computing The ACM Prize in Computing recognizes an early to mid-career fundamental and innovative contribution in computing theory or practice that through, its impact, and broad implications, exemplifies the greatest achievements of the discipline. The candidate’s contribution should be relatively recent (typically within the last decade), but enough time should have passed to evaluate impact. While there are no specific requirements as to age or time since last degree requirements, the candidate typically would be approaching mid-career. The Prize carries a prize of $250,000. Financial support for the award is provided by Infosys Ltd. ACM Frances E. Allen Award for Outstanding Mentoring The Frances E. Allen Award for Outstanding Mentoring will be presented for the first time in 2021. This award will recognize individuals who have exemplified excellence and/or innovation in mentoring with particular attention to individuals who have shown outstanding leadership in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in computing. -
Letter from the President
Letter from the President Dear EATCS members, As usual this time of the year, I have the great pleasure to announce the assignments of this year’s Gódel Prize, EATCS Award and Presburger Award. The Gödel Prize 2012, which is co-sponsored by EATCS and ACM SIGACT, has been awarded jointly to Elias Koutsoupias, Christos H. Papadimitriou, Tim Roughgarden, Éva Tardos, Noam Nisan and Amir Ronen. In particular, the prize has been awarded to Elias Koutsoupias and Christos H. Papadimitriou for their paper Worst-case equilibria, Computer Science Review, 3(2): 65-69, 2009; to Tim Roughgarden and Éva Tardos for their paper How Bad Is Selfish Routing? , Journal of the ACM, 49(2): 236-259, 2002; and to Noam Nisan and Amir Ronen for their paper Algorithmic Mechanism Design, Games and Economic Behavior, 35: 166-196, 2001. As you can read in the laudation published in this issue of the bulletin, these three papers contributed highly influential concepts and results that laid the foundation for an explosive growth in algorithmic game theory, a trans-disciplinary combination of the theory of algorithms and the theory of games that has greatly enriched both fields. The purpose of all three papers was to improve our understanding of how the internet and other complex computational systems behave when users and service providers in these systems act selfishly. On behalf of this year’s Gödel Prize Committee (consisting of Sanjeev Arora, Josep Díaz, Giuseppe F. Italiano, Daniel ✸ ❇❊❆❚❈❙ ♥♦ ✶✵✼ ❊❆❚❈❙ ▼❆❚❚❊❘❙ Spielman, Eli Upfal and Mogens Nielsen as chair) and the whole EATCS community I would like to offer our congratulations and deep respect to all of the six winners! The EATCS Award 2012 has been granted to Moshe Vardi for his decisive influence on the development of theoretical computer science, for his pre-eminent career as a distinguished researcher, and for his role as a most illustrious leader and disseminator. -

Opinion Poll on ACM Affiliation for the Symposium on Computational Geometry
Opinion Poll on ACM affiliation for the Symposium on Computational Geometry Dear SoCG community, Since its start 27 years ago, SoCG has always been affiliated to ACM. This means that the proceedings are published by ACM, and that the symposium is organized “sponsored by ACM” (more precisely, sponsored by ACM SIGACT & ACM SIGGRAPH) or “in cooperation with ACM”. The latter happened only a couple of times, namely when SoCG was in Korea in 2007 and when it was in Denmark in 2009. Being affiliated to ACM has certain advantages, but also certain disadvantages, as detailed below. Hence, at the business meeting of this year’s SoCG in Paris, an alternative was discussed: organizing SoCG as an independent symposium, with the proceedings being published by Dagstuhl in their LIPIcs series (see below). A straw poll was taken, and the vast majority of the participants wanted the Steering Committee to investigate this issue further, which we do through this opinion poll. We hope you want to participate in this important poll. The opinion poll consists of three simple questions stated below: one about your preference for the future of SoCG, and two about your relation to SoCG and your current position. You can participate in this poll by sending your answers to [email protected] (do *not* vote by replying to this email). The poll closes November 21, 2011 . All votes will be treated confidentially. Before voting, please first read the background information given below. The SoCG Steering Committee: Mark de Berg (secretary), Joseph Mitchell, Günter Rote, Jack Snoeyink (chair), Monique Teillaud. -

First Woman to Receive ACM Turing Award Contact: Virginia Gold 212-626-0505 [email protected]
First Woman to Receive ACM Turing Award Contact: Virginia Gold 212-626-0505 [email protected] Cameron Wilson 202-659-9712 [email protected] IBM Fellow Emerita Frances Allen Responsible for Innovations to High Speed Computing; Work Inspired Generations of Computer Scientists New York, NY, February 21, 2007 – ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, has named Frances E. Allen the recipient of the 2006 A.M. Turing Award for contributions that fundamentally improved the performance of computer programs in solving problems, and accelerated the use of high performance computing. This award marks the first time that a woman has received this honor. The Turing Award, first presented in 1966, and named for British mathematician Alan M. Turing, is widely considered the "Nobel Prize in Computing." It carries a $100,000 prize, with financial support provided by Intel Corporation. Allen, an IBM Fellow Emerita at the T.J. Watson Research Center, made fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of program optimization, which translates the users' problem-solving language statements into more efficient sequences of computer instructions. Her contributions also greatly extended earlier work in automatic program parallelization, which enables programs to use multiple processors simultaneously in order to obtain faster results. These techniques have made it possible to achieve high performance from computers while programming them in languages suitable to applications. They have contributed to advances in the use of high performance computers for solving problems such as weather forecasting, DNA matching, and national security functions. "Fran Allen's work has led to remarkable advances in compiler design and machine architecture that are at the foundation of modern high-performance computing," said Ruzena Bajcsy, Chair of ACM's Turing Award Committee, and professor of Electrical and Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley.
