The sprawling Lake Buena Vista resort offers a full menu of amenities and family friendly activities as well as ideal meeting space for IPDPS 2017. ANNOUNCING 24 WORKSHOPS PLANNED FOR IPDPS 2017 IN ORLANDO GENERAL CHAIR IPDPS Workshops are the “bookends” to the three-day technical program of contributed papers, Michela Taufer (University of Delaware, USA) keynote speakers, roundtable workshops, a PhD student forum, and industry participation. They provide the IPDPS community an opportunity to explore special topics and present work that is PROGRAM CHAIR more preliminary or cutting-edge than the more mature research presented in the main symposium. Marc Snir (University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, USA) Each workshop has its own website and submission requirements, and the submission deadline for most workshops is after the main conference author notification date.

  • ACM Annual Report FY 2018
    ANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2018A Supplement to Communications of the ACM ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, is an international scientific and educational organization dedicated to advancing the arts, sciences, and applications of information technology. This annual exercise of looking back at a year in the life of ACM never fails to amaze me in terms of how much is accomplished in a matter of months. And still, always, we manage to inch the benchmark ever higher for the following year. FY18 was no exception. Among the many under- takings ACM finalized this year was the introduction of new curricula to prepare next generations of comput- ing professionals for employment in the global work- place of the future. CSEC 2017 is the first set of global curriculum guidelines for cybersecurity. ACM steered this exhaustive effort, drawing on advice from more than 320 academics and practitioners from 35 countries. In addition, we approved a revitalized Code of Ethics that fortifies ACM’s role as a leading light in what it means to be a computing profes- sional. ACM’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct put the Association on the map 25 years ago as the first-ever document to address the respon- sibilities of computing professionals. Indeed, the code quickly became the de facto standard of professional conduct. As we all know, changes in computing over this quarter-century have been nothing short of profound, and over the past two years ACM’s Committee on Professional Ethics has worked tirelessly to transform the code to reflect these changes. They called on professionals from around the world help rework drafts, inform decisions, and refine its final form (https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics).
