ACM Fellows Honored

The ACM Fellow Program was established by Council 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 ACM and its members look for guidance and leadership as the world of information technology evolves.

The ACM Council endorsed the establishment of a Fellows Program and provided guidance to the ACM Fellows Committee, taking the view that the program represents a concrete benefit to which any ACM member might aspire, and provides an important source of role models for existing and prospective ACM Members. The program is managed by the ACM Fellows Committee as part of the general ACM Awards program administered by Calvin C. Gotlieb and James J. Horning. For details on Fellows nominations, see p. 14.

ACM has recognized 41 of its members for their contributions to computing and computer science that have provided fundamental knowledge to the field and generated multiple innovations in industry, commerce, entertainment, and education. The 2010 ACM Fellows, from the world’s leading universities, corporations, and research labs, achieved accomplishments that are driving the innovations necessary to sustain competitiveness in the digital age. These 41 new inductees bring the total number of ACM Fellows to 726 (see http://www.acm.org/awards/fellows/ for the complete listing of ACM Fellows). ACM will formally recognize the 2010 Fellows at its annual Awards Banquet on June 4, 2011, in San Jose, CA.

"These men and women have made advances in technology and contributions to the computing community that are meeting the dynamic demands of the 21st century," said ACM President Alain Chesnais. "Their ability to think critically and solve problems creatively is enabling great advances on an international scale. The selection of this year’s Fellows reflects broad international representation of the highest achievements in computing, which are advancing the quality of life throughout society."
