This article presents news and events related to the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The advance program for the International Conference on Software Engineering, September 13-16, 1982, in Tokyo, includes sessions on language processing; software configuration management; quantitative aspects of software; requirement techniques; programming environments; maintenance evaluation and tools; specification techniques; testing and tools; software notations; and program analysis. Up to two $1000 prizes for best submitted papers are to be awarded by the Technical Committee on Software Engineering. The Symposium on Programming Language Issues in Software Systems sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, to be held during June 27-29, 1983 in San Francisco, California, is to focus on innovation in two major areas: new programming language constructs and abstraction mechanisms; and the application of programming language principles to the design of software systems. Relevant topics in the first area encompass languages or language constructs; abstraction techniques; specification methods; and techniques for supporting concurrency or exception handling. In the second area topics include the application of programming language principles and techniques to the design and organization of software systems.
