AwardsIn 2006, ACM SIGBED established a student award in the name of late Dr. Frank Anger to promote cross-disciplinary research between embedded systems and software engineering. SIGBED solicited applications from qualified student members also in 2008. SIGBED did not give this award in 2010. In 2008, SIGBED established a new SIGBED-EMSOFT Best Paper Award. The SIGBED EMSOFT Best Paper Award will be presented to the individual(s) judged by the award committee to have written the best paper appearing in the EMSOFT (Embedded Software) conference proceedings. The selection criteria are the scientific quality of the paper and the exposition of the ideas. SIGBED did not give this award in 2010. Significant papers on new areas that were published in proceedingsEmbedded Systems Week heard three keynotes on significant challenges in embedded computing: Vida Ilderem, VP Intel Labs, “Embedded market: challenges and opportunities”; John Hennessy, President Stanford University, “The future of computing from phones to warehouses: it’s a new day”; Tom Henzinger, President IST Austria, “A marketplace for cloud resources.” Innovative programs which provide service to some part of your technical communitySIGBED now has two major federated conferences: CPS Week in the spring [HSCC, ICCPS, IPSN, LCTES, RTAS] and ES Week [EMSOFT, CODES+ISSS, CASES] in the fall. We also use the SIGBED Web site to keep members informed of events in the community, both inside and outside ACM, such as ARTIST2 and HiPeac and ACM TECS and TOSN. The SIGBED review, edited by Oleg Sokolsky of University of Pennsylvania, provides a forum for technical contributions by members as well as lists of upcoming events. IssuesWe continue to keep membership rates low to attract students in particular. SIGBioinformatics FY’11 ANNUAL REPORT July 2010 - June 2011 Submitted by Aidong Zhang, Chair ACM SIGBIOINFORMATICS ACM Special Interest Group in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biomedical Informatics The ACM Special Interest Group on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Biomedical Informatics (SIGBIOINFORMATICS) has been instituted in January 2011 with the aim of focusing on research on bioinformatics data management topics, roughly covered by the so-called biological and biomedical data, knowledge, and information management. The focus of SIGBIOINFORMATICS is to bridge computer science, mathematics, statistics with biology and biomedicine sharing research interests in the management of data related to life sciences. The mission of ACM SIGBioinformatics is to support advanced research, training, and outreach in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Biomedical Informatics by stimulating interactions among researchers, educators and practitioners from related multi-disciplinary fields. Since January 2011, SIG Bioinformatics has recruited 151 members. SIGBIOINFORMATICS Website The SIGBIOINFORMATICS website was created and is maintained by Dr. Mohammed Zaki of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (see http://www.sigbioinformatics.org/).

SIGBIOINFORMATICS Conference (ACMBCB): The 2010 ACM International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ACM BCB 2010) (Niagara Fall, NY, Aug 2-4, 2010) was the first ACM conference in the areas of bioinformatics, computational biology, and biomedical informatics. ACMBCB2010 Best Paper Award Ameet Soni, Craig Bingman and Jude Shavlik, “Guiding Belief Propagation Using Domain Knowledge for Protein-Structure Determination” ACMBCB2010 Best Student Paper Award Bin Song, Tamer Kahveci, and Sanjay Ranka, "Enzymatic target identification with dynamic states" ACMBCB2010 Best Poster Award
SIGBioinformatics provided sponsorship for CMSB'11: 9th International Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology (see http://contraintes.inria.fr/CMSB11/). NSF Awards SIGBIOINFORMATICS has been awarded two National Science Foundation grants to support ACMBCB conferences:
SIGCAS FY’11 ANNUAL REPORT July 2010 - June 2011 Submitted by: Flo Appel, Chair 1. Awards The nomination process for the 2010 SIGCAS "Making a Difference" and "Outstanding Service" awards is in progress, and will be overseen by a member of the new Executive Committee. 2. Significant papers on new areas that were published in proceedings 3. Significant programs that provided a springboard for further technical efforts 4. Innovative programs which provide service to some part of your technical community Although SIGCAS has not historically sponsored its own conferences, we have been proactive in forging relationships with other organizations, and continue to find venues in which to present and publicize the good work of our membership: SIGCAS has continued to collaborate with SIGCSE, and through our very popular Birds of a Feather (BOF) session, we have had a formal and visible presence at the SIGCSE Symposium for the past six years. In addition, this year we offered a pre-Symposium SIGCAS meeting in Dallas (March 2011) which drew approximately 25 participants and provided a forum in which to discuss social and ethical computing issues and pedagogies. This morning session was followed by an afternoon computer ethics workshop that was co-sponsored by SIGCAS and ACM’S COPE (Committee on Professional Ethics) SIGCAS also played a central role in the organizing of our IEEE analog organization’s (Society for the Social Implications Technology - SSIT) ISTAS 2011 conference in May. Our September newsletter will feature a special section containing five articles from this conference. And, we continue to build collegial relations with the International Society for Ethics and Information Technology (INSEIT), and their CEPE conference. We are also presenting SIGCAS panels, workshops and tutorials at CCSC regional conferences (Consortium for Computer Science in Colleges). Carol Spradling from Northwest Missouri University has concluded her excellent service as the SIGCAS representative to the ACM Education Council, and Flo Appel has transitioned into this position as her term as Chair concludes (see below), while Alan Rea from the University of Minnesota represents SIGCAS on the USACM. Don Gotterbarn (retired from Eastern Tennessee State University) is the ACM representative to IFIP’s TC9 Group on computers and society. Computers and Society, our online newsletter, continues to support the Schubmehl-Prein Essay Competition for high school students, administered by long-time SIGCAS members Kevin Bowyer and C. Dianne Martin. 5. Brief summary of key issues that the SIG membership will have to deal with in the next 2-3 years. A new SIGCAS Executive Committee is just beginning its first year of leadership: Andrew Adams, from Meiji University (Tokyo) is the newly elected Chairperson, and Netiva Caftori of Northeastern Illinois University and Simon Rogerson of deMontfort University (England) are also newly elected members of the Executive Committee. Flo Appel, Saint Xavier University, who has completed her second term as Chair, will continue on the Executive Committee in the capacity of Past Chair; and Diana Burley, George Washington University, and Mark Perry, University of Western Ontario, have concluded their service to SIGCAS as elected officers. The challenges identified over the past years continue to exist. While we have made sustained and important inroads into collaboration at the leadership level with other organizations, we continue to struggle to mobilize our membership to become more actively involved in these liaisons. The continued lack of a Computers & Society (C&S) editor-in-chief, still with nobody stepping forward to fill the position, places an undue burden on the leadership to edit and produce the newsletter. We have been successful, however, in recruiting and retaining a talented and effective editorial board, whose members work well together and are in the process of determining an appropriate format for and character of the newsletter. Our newsletter, online since 2002, must be stabilized from the perspective of both its editorship board and its publication. The migration to electronic format-only has had a great cost-saving benefit, but we have lost our ability to provide our members with a cohesive and tangible quarterly publication, and until last year, we have had difficulty with timely publication. We continue to discuss plans to leverage the online character of the newsletter. Our website, which was renovated three years ago, requires ongoing work to become more interactive, and has proven to be a vast improvement over our previous web presence. It has definitely been more effective in its ability to mobilize our membership. We routinely receive responses to the “Volunteer Opportunities” page, and this is gradually resulting in a more active & engaged membership. We are hopeful that our new leadership will be able to breathe new energy and excitement into the life of the SIG – our membership is loyal and continues to support SIGCAS when the need is greatest.
