Directory of Special Interest Groups Resources

Home > Computers > Computer Science > Organizations > ACM > Special Interest Groups

Contains Special Interest Groups within the Association for Computing Machinery. These groups focus on individual topics (e.g., the Ada programming language), rather than on computing in general.
