Scope

SIGACT News serves as a forum for issues of interest to the theoretical computer science community. Readers can keep abreast of professional events and announcements, and benefit from regular technical columns written by respected professionals in key areas of theoretical computer science. In addition, the non-technical columns, letters to the Editor, and minutes of professional meetings help keep the reader up-to-date on issues of importance to professional theoretical computer scientists. The Education Forum provides insight into the latest teaching methods and material, and provides previews of recent or upcoming textbooks. Regular columns and features include the following. The columns are run by a staff of dedicated volunteers. Questions about and submissions for their columns should be addressed directly to the respective columnist.
