The article presents information about several conferences related to the computer industry. Technical Symposium on Computer Science and Education, will be held in Anaheim, California, during February 12-13, 1976 and the conference will be organized by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The Fifth Biennial International Codata Conference will be held in Boulder, Colorado, on November 1, 1975. 1976 International Symposium on Fault-Tolerant Computing will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, November 1, 1975.

The article reports on the software maintenance workshop hosted by the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California in December 1983. Attendees include people from the Netherlands, Sweden, Thailand, and Japan. The major issues addressed were about the software maintenance technology and how to use it to solve current maintenance problems. Information about several papers discussed during the gathering, and the arguments and suggestions related to the issues, are offered.

This article presents news and events related to the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The advance program for the International Conference on Software Engineering, September 13-16, 1982, in Tokyo, includes sessions on language processing; software configuration management; quantitative aspects of software; requirement techniques; programming environments; maintenance evaluation and tools; specification techniques; testing and tools; software notations; and program analysis. Up to two $1000 prizes for best submitted papers are to be awarded by the Technical Committee on Software Engineering. The Symposium on Programming Language Issues in Software Systems sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, to be held during June 27-29, 1983 in San Francisco, California, is to focus on innovation in two major areas: new programming language constructs and abstraction mechanisms; and the application of programming language principles to the design of software systems. Relevant topics in the first area encompass languages or language constructs; abstraction techniques; specification methods; and techniques for supporting concurrency or exception handling. In the second area topics include the application of programming language principles and techniques to the design and organization of software systems.

This article presents an announcement for the formation of Special Interest Group (SIG) on multimedia. The SIC Board recently gave preliminary approval for the formation of a new SIC on multimedia. This coincided with the very positive response to Multimedia 1993, the first Association for Computing Machinery International Conference on Multimedia held at Anaheim, California. More than 200 papers have been submitted to Multimedia 1993. The conference, which will be co-located with SIGGRAPH 1993, was an exciting event with top-quality papers, a series of helpful courses, and three special workshops on distributed, medical and sound processing applications. Complimentary membership in the SIC on multimedia was being offered to all those who attend the 1993 Multimedia Conference.

This article focuses on the events and activities related to the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation and the Design Automation Technical Committee are sponsoring the 13th Design Automation Conference that will be held during June 28-30, at Jack Tar Hotel, San Francisco, California. The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum whereby developments in the field of design automation can be presented and discussed. The conference aim is to improve and expand the quality and quantity of design automation developments. The three-day technical program has been arranged so that the technical papers are presented concurrently in different disciplines of design automation. The International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) announced that the next of the triennial IFIP Congresses will be held in Toronto, Canada during August 8-12, 1977. The theme of the Congress is "The Maturing Profession--Perspectives and Prospects." IFIP Congress 77 will be the first North American gathering of international computer professionals under the aegis of IFIP since 1965.

The article announces several events related to the computing industry. The biennial conference of the British Computer Society will be held at the Cunard International Hotel in London, England from October 4 to 6, 1977. The second conference of the European Cooperation in Informatics, which will be held in Venice, Italy from October 10 to 12, 1978, has the theme Information System Methodology. Papers and demonstrations are being solicited for the 1978 National Computer Conference on June 5 to 8, 1978 in California.
