A website honoring ACM’s A.M. Turing
Award recipients launched in FY12.
Curated by members of ACM’s History
Committee, the site (http://amturing.
acm.org/) provides a robust collection of Turing laureates, including
citations, bibliographic information,
Turing lectures, résumés, and other
works. The site also spotlights images
and videos from ACM’s recent Turing
Centenary Celebration, a landmark
event recognizing the computer science icon on the 100th anniversary of
his birth.
Three ACM magazines debuted
new websites this year. ACM Inroads
( http://inroads.acm.org), the quarterly magazine for computing educators, launched its first site last summer. Computers in Entertainment
( http://cie.acm.org) introduced a new
interactive site incorporating video
features and interviews, games, art,
music, movies and research.
interactions, the bimonthly magazine for
professionals in CHI-related disciplines, launched a new site (http://
interactions.acm.org) last spring that
quickly garnered a design award from
Interactive Media.
By the end of the year,
Communications of the ACM became accessible as
an easy-to-use mobile application for
iPhones, iPads, and Android devices.
These new downloadable apps enable
ACM’s members to access the flagship magazine in a new way.
Many ACM SIGs introduced new and/
or improved websites making significant use of social media outlets to reach
out to members. SIGBED overhauled its
website ( http://sigbed.blogspot.com/),
as did SIGDOC ( http://sigdoc.acm.

SIGMOD established a new blog
site ( http://wp.sigmod.org) to catch
the pulse of its community on exciting
and controversial topics and in its first
seven months of operation, SIGHPC
created a Web presence (http://www.
