About us
ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, is the world's largest educational and scientific computing society, uniting educators, researchers and professionals to inspire dialogue, share resources and address the field's challenges. As a leading global source for scientific information, ACM promotes computer research and innovation through its journals, magazines, and the proceedings of more than 170 annual conferences and symposia. ACM authors are among the world's leading thinkers in computing and information technologies, providing original research and firsthand perspectives. Founded at the dawn of the computer age, ACM’s reach extends to every part of the globe, with more than half of its more than 100,000 members residing outside the U.S. Its growing membership has led to Councils in Europe, India, and China, fostering networking opportunities that strengthen ties within and across countries and technical communities. Their actions enhance ACM’s ability to raise awareness of computing’s important technical, educational, and social issues around the world.

Empowering Women Through Tech: CRiO and ACM-W Host Digital Poster Contest The Center for Research Impact and Outcome (CRiO), Chitkara University, in collaboration with ACM, Association for Computing Machinery's, Council on Women in Computing in India hosted 'Pixel Fusion', a digital poster competition. Centered around the theme “Empowering Women through Tech-Driven Social Innovations,” the competition provided a platform for students to creatively present their visions of a future where technology empowers women. B.Tech students Jiya, Shivam, and Agrim secured the first, second, and third positions, respectively, showcasing exceptional innovation and creativity in their submissions. Their work was evaluated by a panel of judges, including Dr. Harveen Bhandari, Dr. Urvashi Tandon, Dr. Shivani Wadhwa, and Dr. Dr Vaibbhavi Pruthviraj Ranavaade. The event was organized by Team CRiO, comprising Dr. Amit Mittal, Dr. Shalli Rani Rani, Dr.Ayush Dogra, Dr. Ashu Taneja, Dr. Himanshi Babbar, Dr. Ankita Sharma, Dr. Bhanu Sharma, LivArpit Sandhu, and Aashvi Chawla. #ChitkaraU #ChitkaraUniversity #CRIO #PosterCompetition

It was a great pleasure to give the opening keynote at #MUM2024 as part of the ACM, Association for Computing Machinery distinguished speaker series. Great crowd who asked really insightful questions! And thanks to the steering committee who awarded me the best opening keynote award for MUM24 at the conference reception dinner. 😂 Was a delightful time at KTH Royal Institute of Technology!
Regan Mandryk’s keynote at #MUM2024 inspired us with here research on social gaming. Starting out with stats that show that social connections are a parameter that goes down and loneliness has increase in many societies. She asks the fundamental question: Why do we need social connections? And shows that multiplayer games are means to connect us - they have been around for hundreds of years. Regan went through different examples of her research along interesting questions. How to enact relationships with games (using embodiment)? How can we use games to form new relationships? How can we create trust between people with games? How can we design multiplayer games for people with different skills and interests? How to balance skills especially in cooperative games. How die games satisfy the social needs? How is toxic behavior of people impacting then community and the social benefits. What great body of research - lots of interesting references… want to read some of these papers … perhaps over the Christmas break.

Today in 1924, John Backus, a pioneer in computer programming languages, was born. He received the 1977 #ACMTuringAward for profound, influential, and lasting contributions to the design of practical high-level programming systems, notably through his work on FORTRAN, and for seminal publication of formal procedures for the specification of programming languages. In this video, Backus describes the creation of FORTRAN, the first high level programming language: https://bit.ly/3OosNwL

In the latest ACM ByteCast, Bruke Kifle hosts ACM and IEEE Fellow Xin Luna Dong, Principal Scientist at Meta Reality Labs. Dong has been a leader in ML applications, working on intelligent personal assistants, search, recommendation, and personalization. In this episode, she recounts her early journey in computing, including how she became interested in knowledge graphs. Dong also talks about how knowledge graphs can enhance large language models (LLM's). She concludes by emphasizing the importance of making information access effortless, especially for non-technical users such as small business owners.
