Association for Computing Machinery  

Definition

  • The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) was founded on September 15, 1947, as an organization for computer and information professionals. At that time, there was growing interest in the commercial applications of both mechanical and digital computers, although there was little more than speculation that computing technology would become a primary means of global change within the following 50 years.
