The Association of Computing Machinery was founded in 1947 to provide a venue where information, ideas, and discovery can be exchanged between professionals and students in the computing sciences. It is a world’s leading organisation for computing-related professionals with more than 100,000 members worldwide. Its overarching goal is to advance computing as a science and a profession.
