The ACM Awards Banquet
The annual ACM Awards Banquet was held Saturday, June 16, 2012 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California, and there were over 400 attendees. The banquet was held in conjunction with the Turing Centenary Celebration (TCC) and most of the 32 Turing Laureates who attended the TCC also attended the banquet. ACM’s President Alain Chesnais was the Master of Ceremonies.
Among the corporate representatives for the various award presentations were: for the Turing Award – Limor Fix, Intel and Alfred Spector, Google VP of Research and Special Initiatives; for the ACM-W Athena Lecturer Award - Alan Eustace, Google Senior VP, Engineering & Research; for the ACM –Infosys Foundation Award - Infosys Chairman Emeritus N.R. Narayana Murthy; for the Grace Murray Hopper Award - Urs Hoelzle, Google Fellow; Brent Hailpern, IBM, for the Software System Award; Prabhakar Ragahavan, Google, for the Doctoral Dissertation Award; for the Karlstrom Award - Tracy Dunkelberger, Pearson/ Prentice Hall; and for the SRC awards - Judith Bishop, Microsoft Research.
Recruitment Plans for New/Younger Members
The Awards Committee Co-Chairs continue to seek recommendations from the outgoing award subcommittee chairs for members to replace those whose terms are expiring. In addition to seeking new members whose expertise falls within the criteria for the various awards, in the past the expectation for diversity was typically implied. Over the past several years, the request for recommendations that take into account age, gender, and international representation has been explicit.
In addition to its efforts to achieve a greater diversity within the award subcommittees, the Awards Committee will seek the assistance of the SIG Chairs to help ensure that the award nominations reflect the diversity in the ACM membership, as well as the members of the ACM Regional Councils.
