The article discusses the highlights of the 10th Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) International Workshop on Web Information and Data Management (WIDM 2008) in Napa Valley, California, held in conjunction with the 17th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) on October 30, 2008. The event aimed to bring together researchers, industrial practitioners, and developers to study about Web. Topics presented include event detection with common user interests and the effect of title term suggestion on e-commerce sites.

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.

The section presents a schedule of conferences and related events concerning the Association for Computing Machinery from 1980 to 1981. The Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society will be held in San Francisco, California. The Seventh Symposium in Microprogramming and Microprocessing is scheduled in Paris, France. The International Symposium on Algorithmic Languages will be held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

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 offers a look at the highlights of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) congress in 1974 that was held in San Diego, California. The congress is considered a successful one with 60 percent more attendees than expected. A keynote speech by Robert S. Barton highlighted the opening session and a lecture was given by Donald E. Knuth on the tendency to dwell on numbers. A session was also held on the use of unpopular and unacceptable ideas in computing which generated mixed reactions from conference attendees.

The author focuses on his tenure as editor-in-chief of the online magazine "ACM Computers in Entertainment." He relates that he attended the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Awards Banquet in San Diego, California on June 27, 2009 and the Visual Effects Society (VES) Production Summit 2009 in Marina Del Rey on October 24. He also provides information on the October/December issue of the magazine which focuses on games research.

The article discusses the Fellow program of the Association for Computing machinery (ACM). Established in 1993 to honor ACM members who have made substantial contributions to computer science or information technology, the program will welcome 47 new inductees at a ceremony to be held in San Francisco, California in June, 2010. An accompanying list names the honorees.

The article presents biographies and their justifying statements as candidates for secretary-treasurer of Association of Computing Machinery (ACM). College teacher Steve Cunningham of Department of Computer Science at California State University in Stanislaus Turlock, California, has done his doctorate in mathematics, and started his profession as a professor and has become visiting scientist and is currently focusing on computer graphics curricula in computer science. He is a member of Eurographics, ACM, ACM SIGGRAPH etc. He states that his 17 years of work experience, allows him to understand the ACM financial models and support ACM's financial work. Another candidate is David S. Wise, professor at Department of Computer Science in Indiana University of the U.S. Both of them stated that their experience would help in the development of ACM.
