About ACM/SIGCHI

ACM, the First Society in Computing, 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 80,000 members a variety of forums to fulfill its members' needs -- the delivery of cutting-edge technical information, the transfer of ideas from theory to practice, and opportunities for information exchange. Providing high quality products and services (world-class journals and magazines, dynamic special interest groups and chapters, and electronic forums), ACM is the resource for lifelong learning in the rapidly changing IT field.

SIGCHI, ACM's Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction, brings together people working on the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use, and the study of major phenomena surrounding such systems. It embraces work on the hardware and software engineering of interactive systems, the structure of communications between human and machine, characterization of the use and contexts of use for interactive systems, methodology of design, and new designs themselves. It helps to organize and coordinate information through on-line information, traditional publications, conferences, workshops, and symposia relating to human-computer interaction.

SIGCHI members are interested in keeping up with changes in this rapidly evolving field -- in research and develoment, or the design and evaluation of new user interfaces -- making computers easier to use and extending technology into new domains for new users.
