SIGWEB is one of the Special Interest Groups of the Association for Computing Machinery.
SIGWEB supports the multi-disciplinary field of hypertext and hypermedia, facilitating
its application both on the World-Wide Web and also in independent, distributed and
stand-alone environments. It provides a forum for the promotion, dissemination, and
exchange of ideas concerning research and applications among scientists, systems
designers and end-users.In addition to the established Web and Hypertext themes,
the SIG is actively exploring ideas at the intersection of hypermedia and Digital
Libraries, Software Engineering and the Humanities.
ACM,the world's largest scientific and educational computing society, delivers resources
that advance computing as a science and a profession. ACM provides the computing field's
premier Digital Library and serves its members and the computing profession with leading-edge
publications, conferences, and career resources.The ACM Special Interest Group on
Information Retrieval (ACM SIGIR) welcomes members working in all aspects of information
storage, retrieval, and dissemination, including research, development, evaluation, and education.
With nearly 85,000 members, the 64-year-old IEEE Computer Society is the world's premier organization
of computing professionals, with rich offerings in publications, standards, certifications, conferences,
and more.The IEEE Computer Society annually sponsors a wide range of geographically diverse technical
conferences, symposiums and workshops dedicated to providing computing professionals with innovative forums
designed to facilitate the identification, creation, capture and exchange of highly peer-reviewed scientific
and technological knowledge that benefits our members, the profession, and humanity.
The IEEE Computer Society established the Technical Committee on Digital Libraries in 1997. It is to promote
research in the theory and practice of all aspects of Collective Memory, i.e. the fields of Digital Libraries,
Digital Museums and Digital Archives of all kinds.
