The first ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences, recognizing young scientists whose innovations are having a dramatic impact on the computing field, debuted last summer, carrying a prize of $150,000 endowed by the Infosys Foundation.
The ACM Fellows Program, established in 1993 to honor outstanding ACM members for their achievements in computer science and IT, inducted 38 new fellows in FY08, bringing the total count to 632.
ACM’s advanced member grades were also announced. The Association recognized 171 Senior Members in FY08 who have at least 10 years of professional experience, five years of ACM professional membership, and have demonstrated performance and accomplishment that set them apart from their peers. ACM also recognized seven Distinguished Engineers and 13 Distinguished Scientists—all having the distinction of at least 15 years of professional experience and who have demonstrated significant accomplishments or made a significant impact on the computing field.
SIGMOD renamed its annual doctoral dissertation award this year in honor of Jim Gray, a revered member of the database community and a luminary in the computing field.
