Описание: Communities of Computing is the first book-length history of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), founded in 1947 and with a membership today of 100,000 worldwide. It profiles ACM's notable SIGs, active chapters, and individual members, setting ACM's history into a rich social and political context. The book's 12 core chapters are organized into three thematic sections. ""Defining the Discipline"" examines the 1960s and 1970s when the field of computer science was taking form at the National Science Foundation, Stanford University, and through ACM's notable efforts in education and curriculum standards. "Broadening the Profession" looks outward into the wider society as ACM engaged with social and political issues - and as members struggled with balancing a focus on scientific issues and awareness of the wider world.Chapters examine the social turbulence surrounding the Vietnam War, debates about the women's movement, efforts for computing and community education, and international issues including professionalization and the Cold War. "Expanding Research Frontiers" profiles three areas of research activity where ACM members and ACM itself shaped notable advances in computing, including computer graphics, computer security, and hypertext.Featuring insightful profiles of notable ACM leaders, such as Edmund Berkeley, George Forsythe, Jean Sammet, Peter Denning, and Kelly Gotlieb, and honest assessments of controversial episodes, the volume deals with compelling and complex issues involving ACM and computing. It is not a narrow organizational history of ACM committees and SIGS, although much information about them is given. All chapters are original works of research. Many chapters draw on archival records of ACM's headquarters, ACM SIGs, and ACM leaders. This volume makes a permanent contribution to documenting the history of ACM and understanding its central role in the history of computing.

Описание:
The ubiquitous nature of mobile and pervasive computing has begun to reshape and complicate our notions of space, time, and identity. In this collection, over thirty internationally recognized contributors reflect on ubiquitous computing's implications for the ways in which we interact with our environments, experience time, and develop identities individually and socially. Interviews with working media artists lend further perspectives on these cultural transformations. Drawing on cultural theory, new media art studies, human-computer interaction theory, and software studies, this cutting-edge book critically unpacks the complex ubiquity-effects confronting us every day.

Welcome to the 49th SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education (the 2018 Symposium), the premiere technical conference for computer science educators. The 2018 Symposium is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE).
SIGCSE is an organization of about 2700 members from more than 70 countries interested and engaged in computer science education. One of the strengths of SIGCSE is the dedication of its members who volunteer to ensure that the activities and events held throughout the year are successful. There are two volunteers in particular who worked very hard to bring the 2018 Symposium to life. Conference co-chairs Tiffany Barnes and Dan Garcia have spent countless hours over the past two years ensuring that the (hopefully around) 1500 attendees at the 2018 Symposium will have a rewarding and inspiring experience. They have led a committee of nearly 100 people in the process of creating an engaging and innovative program, creating opportunities for networking, and handling all the issues big and small that come with a conference of this size. On behalf of the SIGCSE organization and Board, I thank Tiffany and Dan for their hard work and vision that made this conference possible.
This conference also provides us with a chance to honor two people each year for their contributions to computer science education and the SIGCSE community. The annual SIGCSE award for Outstanding Contribution to Computer Science Education will be given to Tom Bell. Bell is best known as the primary author of the CS Unplugged Project, which produced a set of free computer science learning activities that do not use a computer or require programming. His work has influenced many computing educators working to bring computer science to students in schools in many countries around the globe, and it is likely that the impact of his work will be felt for decades to come. The annual SIGCSE award for Lifetime Service will be given to Eric Roberts. Roberts has too many accomplishments to list here, but they include chairing the ACM SIGCSE Java Task Force, serving on the ACM Education Board for nearly 20 years, and continuing to serve on the ACM Education Council. Roberts has earned many awards for his work, including a previous award for Outstanding Contribution to Computer Science Education, making him one of the few people to earn both SIGCSE awards. Please join me and the rest of the SIGCSE Board in congratulating both of them on their well-deserved awards.
The 2018 Symposium will offer you many opportunities to network, whether at sessions, during breaks, at the social events associated with the conference, or simply as you meet people in the halls. I hope that some of the people you will get a chance to talk to will be the members of the SIGCSE Board. Your input and feedback about SIGCSE is important to us, and we want to hear from you. One opportunity to see the Board members will be at the SIGCSE Business meeting on Friday, February 23rd from 5:10 pm to 6 pm in room 308 in the convention center. At this annual meeting we will discuss the overall structure of the SIGCSE organization and share the results of the many SIGCSE projects and events that have been carried out during the past year.
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 10th ACM Conference on Web Science, Amsterdam, 27-30 May 2018.
This year's edition of the WebSci conference (WebSci'18) celebrates the ten year anniversary of the unique conference series where a multitude of disciplines converge in a creative and critical dialogue with the aim of understanding the Web and its impacts.
The WebSci conference brings together researchers from multiple disciplines, like computer science, sociology, economics, information science, anthropology and psychology. Web Science is the emergent study of the people and technologies, applications, processes and practices that shape and are shaped by the World Wide Web. Web Science aims to draw together theories, methods and findings from across academic disciplines, and to collaborate with industry, business, government and civil society, to develop our knowledge and understanding of the Web: the largest socio-technical network in human history.
This year we were very pleased to receive 113 submissions for the regular research track. Given the high quality of submissions, it has been a hard job to decide which of the contributions to select for the conference. We are grateful for the support of the Program Committee which consisted of 10 senior members and 35 regular members. All PC members worked hard, based on which we could select an interesting, varied, exciting program comprising 30 long and 15 short papers.

Описание: Careers in computing fields are becoming increasingly plentiful and rewarding, yet women are largely left out. This book explores the obstacles and catalysts within cultures and environments around the world that influence women`s participation in computing, and what companies, schools, and administrations can do to fix this problem.
Описание: This organizational history relates the role of the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the development of modern computing.Drawing upon new and existing oral histories, extensive use of NSF documents, and the experience of two of the authors as senior managers, this book describes how NSF's programmatic activities originated and evolved to become the primary source of funding for fundamental research in computing and information technologies.The book traces how NSF's support has provided facilities and education for computing usage by all scientific disciplines, aided in institution and professional community building, supported fundamental research in computer science and allied disciplines, and led the efforts to broaden participation in computing by all segments of society.Today, the research and infrastructure facilitated by NSF computing programs are significant economic drivers of American society and industry. For example, NSF supported work that led to the first widely-used web browser, Netscape; sponsored the creation of algorithms at the core of the Google search engine; facilitated the growth of the public Internet; and funded research on the scientific basis for countless other applications and technologies. NSF has advanced the development of human capital and ideas for future advances in computing and its applications.This account is the first comprehensive coverage of NSF's role in the extraordinary growth and expansion of modern computing and its use. It will appeal to historians of computing, policy makers and leaders in government and academia, and individuals interested in the history and development of computing and the NSF.

Описание: This is a volume of chapters on the historical study of information, computing, and society written by seven of the most senior, distinguished members of the History of Computing field. These are edited, expanded versions of papers presented in a distinguished lecture series in 2018 at the University of Colorado Boulder – in the shadow of the Flatirons, the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Topics range widely across the history of computing. They include the digitalization of computer and communication technologies, gender history of computing, the history of data science, incentives for innovation in the computing field, labor history of computing, and the process of standardization. Authors were given wide latitude to write on a topic of their own choice, so long as the result is an exemplary article that represents the highest level of scholarship in the field, producing articles that scholars in the field will still look to read twenty years from now. The intention is to publish articles of general interest, well situated in the research literature, well grounded in source material, and well-polished pieces of writing. The volume is primarily of interest to historians of computing, but individual articles will be of interest to scholars in media studies, communication, computer science, cognitive science, general and technology history, and business.
