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.
