ACM国际计算机组织背景情况介绍
(Association for Computing Machinery)
ACM The First Society in Computing 是一个国际科学教育计算机组织,它致力于发展在高级艺术、最新科学、工程技术和应用领域中的信息技术。它强调在专业领域或在社会感兴趣的领域中培养、发展开放式的信息交换，推动高级的专业技术和通用标准的发展。
1947年，即世界第一台电子数字计算机(ENIAC)问世的第二年，ACM即成为第一个，也一直是世界上最大的科学教育计算机组织。它的创立者和成员都是数学家和电子工程师，其中之一是约翰.迈克利(John.Mauchly)，他是 ENIAC的发明家之一。他们成立这个组织的初衷是为了计算机领域和新兴工业的科学家和技术人员能有一个共同交换信息、经验知识和创新思想的场合。几十年的发展，ACM的成员们为今天我们所称之为“信息时代”作出了贡献。他们所取得的成就大部分出版在ACM印刷刊物上并获得了ACM颁发的在各种领域中的杰出贡献奖。例如：A.M.Turing奖和Grance Murr—ay Hopper奖。
ACM组织成员今天已达到九万人之多，他们大部分是专业人员、发明家、研究员、教育家、工程师和管理人员；三分之二以上的ACM成员，又是属于一个或多个SIGs(Special Interest Group)专业组织成员。他们都对创造和应用信息技术有着极大的兴趣。有些最大的最领先的计算机企业和信息工业也都是ACM的成员。
ACM就像一个伞状的组织，为其所有的成员提供信息，包括最新的尖端科学的发展，从理论思想到应用的转换，提供交换信息的机会。正象ACM建立时的初衷，它仍一直保持着它的发展“信息技术”的目标，ACM成为一个永久的更新最新信息领域的源泉。

ACM Communications 是其旗下的旗舰刊物，每月一刊，已历时51年之久。


Communications of the ACM is the leading monthly print and online magazine for the computing and information technology fields. Read by over 85,000 computing professionals worldwide, Communications is recognized as the most trusted and knowledgeable source of industry information for today’s computing professional. ACM’s membership, recognized internationally as the "computing elite," is made up of the IT industry’s most respected leaders and decision makers.

Each month, Communications brings its readership in-depth coverage of emerging areas of computer science, new trends in Information Technology, and practical applications. Industry leaders use Communications of the ACM as a platform to present and debate various technology implications, public policies, engineering challenges, and market trends.

To keep pace with the ever-changing technology industry and ACM membership base, the magazine is in the process of undergoing significant change in 2008, which includes a complete redesign of its look and feel and editorial model, scheduled to first appear in the July 2008 issue. Development of a new dynamic website that will appeal to ACM members, industry insiders, and advertisers is scheduled for later in the year.

The prestige and unmatched reputation that Communications of the ACM enjoys today is built upon a 50-year commitment to high quality editorial content and a steadfast dedication to advancing the arts, sciences, and applications of information technology.
