The author recounts his relationship with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). He had his first article published in ACM's journal in 1967 while a doctoral student. In the mid 1980s he became an associate editor of that publication. He served in that capacity for five years, during which matters concerning the acceptance or rejection of papers submitted for publication were sometimes challenging. In 1992 he became editor in chief, a position he believes his assistant editorship prepared him well for.

The article presents a review of the changing image of the periodical "Computing Surveys." During the last 2 years, Computing Surveys has introduced short, 2-page papers to complement the long 30- to 50- page traditional papers. Association of Computing Machinery (ACM)'s 50th anniversary year was commemorated with two special issues, one on perspectives in computing (March, 1996), examining current technology and one on strategic directions in computing (December, 1996) looking towards the future. The December, 1996 issue of the periodical demonstrates the feasibility of joint hard copy/electronic publication. It is economically feasible to publish a 1000-page special issue of which about 300 pages appear in hard copy and the remainder electronically. The ACM electronic repository in www.acm.org will increasingly supplement its hard-copy publications with electronic value. One of the side effects of short articles is to make "Computing Surveys" more participatory. Another participatory activity designed to recognize student talent is the ACM student paper competition.

The article presents some abstracts of papers related to computer science which appeared in the publications of the Association for Computing Machinery. The first abstract entitled "A Complexity Theory Based on Boolean Algebra," by S. Skyum and L.G. Valiant, was published in the April 1985 issue of the "Journal of the ACM." According to the paper, a projection of a Boolean function is a function obtained by substituting for each of its variables a variable, the negation of a variable, or a constant. The abstract entitled"Optimal Static Load Balancing in Distributed Computer Systems," by Asser N. Tantawi and Don Towsley, was published in the April 1985 issue of the "Journal of the ACM." According to this paper, a distributed computer system that consists of a set of heterogeneous host computers connected in an arbitrary fashion by a communications network is considered. A general model is developed for such a distributed computer system, in which the host computers and the communications network are represented by product-form queuing networks.
