  • The Changing Shape of the Computing World
    Outside the Box — The Changing Shape of the Computing World Steve Cunningham Computer Science California State University Stanislaus Turlock, CA 95382 [email protected] http://www.cs.csustan.edu/~rsc Something happened to computing while many of us were busy practicing or teaching our craft, and computing is not quite the same thing we learned. We can ignore this change and others will take our place and teach about it, but they will not have the context and the skill to understand the technology behind it and to carry it forward to the success it should have. And if others carry that torch, computer science will be stunted because we didn't recognize and respond to the opportunity. What happened? Simply this—that Xerox and Apple and, yes, Microsoft opened up the box labeled “CAUTION: Computer Inside” and let the user into the computing picture. Users responded hesitantly but increasingly eagerly and now expect the computer to work for them instead of their working for the computer. Every application now in wide use, and any system that supports a general market, has evolved to meet that expectation. Any computing education that does not pay attention to the user’s role in computing is missing the most vibrant and exciting part of computing today. As it says at the top of this page, you are reading an editorial, not an academic paper. As an editorial, this note represents my personal passion and commitment to the user communication part of computing that the “official” computing establishment has long discounted, and I appreciate John Impagliazzo’s offer of this forum to make my case that computer science is missing the boat in not understanding the need to reshape computer science education to fill this void.

  • SIGCHI Conferences Report for Members May 2018
    SIGCHI Conferences Report " ! " ! " May 22, 2018 SIGCHI (Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction) is led by the SIGCHI Executive committee and one of the appointed roles on this committee is the ACM SIGCHI Vice President for Conferences. This person is responsible for overseeing all aspects of SIGCHI-sponsored conferences and SIGCHI currently sponsors 24 conferences. www.si In addition to the annual CHI conference, the Specialised Conferences program of ACM SIGCHI has gradually evolved and has now become a significant part of the conference program that is offered to the HCI community at large. Across our conferences we have over 9,000 delegates attend our 24 conferences, with around 3000 of these attending CHI. This program includes all conferences involving ACM SIGCHI other than the annual CHI conferences. Throughout this report there are references to Specialised Conferences (e.g. Group to VRST) and CHI. Each conference has a steering committee and the chair of each steering committee serves on the ACM SIGCHI Council of Steering Committee Chairs. In addition we have an Adjunct Chair for CHI on the SIGCHI EC along with a SIGCHI Conference Board which works with the ACM SIGCHI VP for Conferences. The CHI Steering Committee oversees the activities of all CHI conference committee chairs from CHI 2018 onwards. It ensures that the objectives of the conference as established by the Steering Committee and EC are met. The CHI Steering Committee was created by SIGCHI Executive Committee in 2016. From CHI 2018 onwards, this committee serves as a focal point for communications between the conference committee, CHI attendees, CHI committees, CHI vendors, CHI liaison, SIGCHI and the SIGCHI Services Staff.

  • Elizabeth Baron Candidate for Director a As an ACM SIGGRAPH
    Elizabeth Baron Candidate for Director A As an ACM SIGGRAPH Pioneer, implementing computer graphics and interactive techniques, I relied on SIGGRAPH for inspiration on how to apply CG & IT in novel ways. I was taught how to bring art, engineering and science to life through expressive, realistic and accurate experiences. Believing it is important to give back to an organization that has given so much, I am honored to be considered to serve as a Director-at-Large. Over the past two years I have avidly participated in the ACM SIGGRAPH Executive Committee Strategy Team sessions. The team has made impressive, significant changes to increase our relevancy. I believe that to grow both the conference and the organization, we must bridge the gap between research and industry practitioners. ACM SIGGRAPH can influence the practical and innovative application of CG & IT methods, products, services and systems for industry. We can be involved in industry. As SFX become physics-based, the importance and accuracy of many types of simulations are as appropriate and useful for media and entertainment as well as for industry. We can learn from each other. ACM SIGGRAPH has inspired the CG & IT industry and practitioners around the world. I want to be a part of growing the outstanding legacy SIGGRAPH has created to enable everyone to tell their stories. BIOGRAPHY Elizabeth Baron is Vice President of Immersive Solutions for Silverdraft Supercomputing. She has been the driving force in the development and deployment of global, collaborative immersive paradigms for industrial design and engineering. Formerly, Elizabeth was a Technical Specialist in Immersive Realities at Ford Motor Company.

  • 2006 Annual Report
    ACM SIGDOC FY’06 Annual Report Submitted by Brad Mehlenbacher, SIGDOC Chair _SIGDOC Purpose The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group (SIG) on the Design of Communication (DOC) — ACM SIGDOC — emphasizes the design of communication for computer-mediated information products and systems. SIGDOC fosters the study and publication of processes, methods, and technologies for communicating and designing communication artifacts such as printed and online information, documentation designs and applications, multimedia and Web-based environments. _SIGDOC Mission Statement Until 2003, SIGDOC focused on documentation for hardware and software. With the shift in focus from documentation to the “design of communication,” SIGDOC better positioned itself to emphasize the potentials, the practices, and the problems of multiple kinds of communication technologies, such as Web applications, user interfaces, and online and print documentation. SIGDOC focuses on the design of communication as it is taught, practiced, researched, and theorized in various fields, including technical communication, software engineering, information architecture, and usability. The mission of SIGDOC includes • Promoting the professional development of its members • Encouraging interdisciplinary problem solving related to online and print documentation and communication technologies • Providing avenues for publication and the exchange of professional information • Supporting research that focuses on the needs and goals of humans in technological contexts,
