acm fellows honored
Forty-four men and women are being inducted this year as 2008 ACM Fellows.
The ACM Fellows Program was established
in 1993 to recognize and honor outstanding
ACM members for their achievements
in computer science and information

technology and for their significant contributions to the mission of the ACM. The ACM Fellows serve as distinguished colleagues to whom the ACM and its members look for guidance and leadership as the world of information technology evolves.

The men and women honored as Fellows have made critical contributions toward and continue to exhibit extraordinary leadership in the development of the Information Age, and will be inducted at the ACM Awards Banquet on June 27, 2009, in San Diego, CA.

This year’s 44 new inductees bring the total number of ACM Fellows to 675 (see www.acm.org/awards/fellows/ for a complete list of ACM Fellows).
