SCS Faculty: Fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
– The ACM Fellows Program
was established by Council in 1993 to recognize and honor outstanding ACM
members for their achievements in computer science and information technology
and for their significant contributions to the mission of the ACM. The ACM
Fellows serve as distinguished colleagues to whom the ACM and its members
look for guidance and leadership as the world of information technology

– "For fundamental contributions to computational
learning theory, approximation algorithms, online algorithms, and AI
- Randal E. Bryant, 1999
– "He is best known for Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams, a canonical
form for boolean functions. Although originally developed for
applications in CAD, this data structure has found many applications
in areas such as hardware and software verification, automated theorem
proving, and AI planning."
- Edmund M. Clarke, 1998
– "He is the co-inventor of Model Checking (with his former student
Allen Emerson). He and his graduate students helped make Model Checking
a tool that can be used to verify finite-state concurrent systems of
