Allen School of Computer Science, University Of Washington, USA SIGACCESS, ACCESSCOMPUTING, and ACCESS-SIGCHI Accessibility, diversity, and inclusion are key concerns for the CHI community. In 2019, Accessibility was one of the top keywords among conference publications. Despite the focus of research, many scholars with disabilities still struggle to access SIGCHI events and activities. At this SIG at CHI 2021, Access-SIGCHI, along with AccessComputing and SIGACCESS, will host an open discussion about the state of accessibility within SIGCHI and discuss opportunities for organizers and volunteers to improve accessibility. The event is open to all, but we are particularly excited to bring together people with disabilities and organizers from across SIGCHI to collaboratively develop a plan for increase access across all SIGCHI events.

  • ACM SIGACT News Distributed Computing Column 33 Teaching Concurrency
    ACM SIGACT News Distributed Computing Column 33 Teaching Concurrency Idit Keidar Dept. of Electrical Engineering, Technion Haifa, 32000, Israel [email protected] As multi-core computer architectures are becoming mainstream, it is widely believed that the biggest challenge facing computer scientists today is learning how to exploit the parallelism that such architectures can offer. For example, Bill Dally, chair of Computer Science at Stanford, is quoted1 as saying: “Parallel programming is perhaps the largest problem in computer science today and is the major obstacle to the continued scaling of computing performance that has fueled the computing industry, and several related industries, for the last 40 years.” In fact, the media buzz around multi-core programming is said to be rivaling the buzz on global warming2. This column looks at the multi-core programming problem from an educational perspective. How can those among us who teach, help students become comfortable with concurrency? A workshop on this very topic, organized by Nir Shavit, will take place on March 8, co-located with ASPLOS’09. I include here an announcement about the workshop, as provided by Nir. The column then proceeds with a review, by Danny Hendler, of the book “Synchronization Algorithms and Concurrent Programming” by Gadi Taubenfeld. Danny discusses how material from the book can be used in both undergraduate and graduate courses. The next contribution, by Alan Fekete, tackles concrete questions of curriculum design: What courses in the undergraduate computer science curriculum should deal with concurrency? What should be taught about concurrency? and how? As might be expected, there are no definite answers to these questions, yet Alan provides a through discussion of the pros and cons of various approaches and what works well in different contexts.
