ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, is a major force in advancing the skills and knowledge of Information Technology (IT) professionals and students throughout the world. ACM serves as an umbrella organization offering its 78,000 members a variety of forums in order to fulfill its members' needs - the delivery of cutting-edge technical information, the transfer of ideas from theory to proactive, and opportunities for information exchange. Providing high quality products and services - world-class journals and magazines; dynamic special interest groups; numerous "main event" conferences; tutorials; workshops; local special interest groups and chapters; and electronic forums - ACM is the resource for lifelong learning in the rapidly changing IT field.

SIGPLAN, ACM's Special Interest Group on Programming Languages explores programming language concepts and tools, focusing on design, implementation, and efficient use. Its members are programming language users, developers, implementers, theoreticians, researchers, and educators. The monthly newsletter ACM SIGPLAN Notices publishes several conference proceedings issues (including OOPSLA), regular columns and technical correspondence. This SIG offers an additional newsletter (for FORTRAN), on a subscription only basis. SIGPLAN sponsors four major annual conferences: the OOPSLA conference in object-oriented technology, the Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI), the major professional conference in the field; the Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL), and the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP).
