ACM Honors Distinguished and Senior Members

ACM has three distinct member grades to recognize the professional accomplishments of its members. The list of those members recognized as ACM Fellows in 2007 was published in the March 2008 issue of Communications (p. 22). Here, we list those members named senior members and distinguished engineer, scientist, or member in 2007.

The Distinguished Engineer, Scientist, or Member grade level recognizes those ACM members with at least 15 years of professional experience and five years of continued ACM Professional membership that have made significant accomplishments or achieved a significant impact on the computing field.

The Senior Member grade level recognizes those members with at least 10 years of professional experience and five years of continuous ACM Professional membership who have demonstrated performance that sets them apart from their peers.
