ACM Computer Science Conference Call for Participation The ACM Computer Science Conference provides a forum for the transfer and exchange of information in three contexts: * Between experts or specialists in one area of computer science and others whose specialties are marginally related or somewhat affected by results in the first area. Communication is between researchers in different, though possibly overlapping domains. SURVEY PAPERS of some depth are suitable submissions. * Among specialists in areas of computer science either too new or too narrowly focused to have its own conference. The CSC provides an opportunity for such researchers to meet and for others to hear of their work. RESEARCH PAPERS, POSTER SESSION participation, and birds of a feather sessions in the specialty area are complemented by other CSC events: the TURING lecture, ACM awards, EXHIBITS by publishers and vendors of computing hardware and software, and the employment register. * Finally, the CSC is an opportunity to gain exposure to current research in a number of CS areas, for general interest and knowledge updating.
