About the Fellows program
The ACM Fellows program was established in 1993 to recognize outstanding ACM members. Only the top 1% of the ACM members is selected for this fellowship. They are recognized for their outstanding accomplishments in computing and information technology and/or outstanding service to ACM and the larger computing community. Fellows are nominated by their peers, with nominations reviewed by a distinguished selection committee.
For 2022 ACM named 57 fellows for outstanding contributions that propel technology today.
