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).
