NEW YORK, December 10, 2013 -- ACM has recognized 50 of its members for their contributions to computing that are driving innovations across multiple domains and disciplines. The 2013 ACM Fellows, from the world’s leading universities, corporations, and research labs, have achieved advances in computing research and development that are accelerating the digital revolution and impacting every dimension of how we live, work, and play…worldwide.
ACM President Vinton G. Cerf celebrated the impact of innovations achieved by this year’s ACM Fellows. “We recognize these scientists and engineers, creators and builders, theorists and practitioners who are making a difference in our lives,” he said. “They’re enabling us to listen, learn, calculate, and communicate in ways that underscore the benefits of the digital age. Their advances have led to opportunities for improved healthcare, enhanced security, expanded interactions, and enriched lifestyles. Some recipients have also led efforts to extend computing across continents and countries including Brazil, China, and Germany.”
Within the corporate sector, the 2013 ACM Fellows named from IBM Research were cited for contributions to knowledge discovery and data mining, and for leadership in probabilistic methods for data and system simulation management and analysis. Raytheon BBN Technologies’ ACM Fellow was recognized for contributions to quantum communications, advanced networks, and programming literacy. Liquid Robotics’ ACM Fellow was cited for contributions to programming languages, tools, and environments. Boeing’s ACM Fellow was honored for achievements in computer graphics, user interaction, and visual analytics. Other companies with 2013 ACM Fellows are Yahoo!, Google Inc., and Microsoft Research. Their respective contributions include industrial leadership and information retrieval; cryptography in systems security and privacy; and computer vision and multimedia.
