Event Sponsorship and In-Cooperation
There are three ways in which SIGAPP can be involved with a technical meeting: as a “full sponsored”, “co sponsored” or as "in cooperation". From an applicant's perspective, the difference between applying for sponsorship/co-sponsorship and in-cooperation status is that the latter is far simpler to obtain because it does not entail any financial involvement or liability by SIGAPP.
Proceedings will be copyrighted by ACM and be in the Digital Library, unless specific agreements are in place with other co-sponsors.
Requesting Event Sponsorship or In-Cooperation with ACM/SIGAPP
ACM provides some guidelines and an online form (the TMRF) to request in-cooperation status. Below we provide a list of additional requirements that must be met by a conference seeking in-cooperation status, followed by a set of guidelines that will increase the chances that the SIGAPP Executive Committee will approve a request.
Note that you may not use the ACM or SIGAPP names or logos on materials promoting the conference (websites, CFPs, etc.) prior to approval of the TMRF.
The non-negotiable requirements are:
Holding an Event co-sponsored by ACM/SIGAPP
A co-sponsored event is an event sponsored by another organization that wishes to have a formal connection with ACM/SIGAPP and its members. This arrangement implies no financial involvement from SIGAPP, and it is straightforward to obtain, provided that
Holding an Event In-Cooperation with ACM/SIGAPP
An In-cooperation conference is an event sponsored by another organization that wishes to have a formal connection with ACM/SIGAPP and its members. The requirements for SIGAPP in-cooperation status include the following:

Over the past years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC), the primary SIGAPP Annual Conference, has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world to interact and present their work. Each year the event is organized as a number of specialist tracks on various areas of computer applications. The Tracks define the conference theme each year.
Current and Past SAC Meetings:
The International Conference on Research in Adaptive and Convergent Systems (RACS) provides an excellent forum for addressing research issues of concern within the adaptive and convergent computing area. Adaptive and convergent computing concentrates on innovative solutions to complex problems in all areas of industry and sciences using adaptive and convergent techniques in computer science and engineering. It involves programming, software engineering, graphics, databases, wireless networks, security, distributed systems, operating systems and so on.

Applied Computing Review is distributed to all ACM/SIGAPP members as benefit of membership, and is available to non-SIGAPP members, libraries and other institutions by special subscription. Please direct subscription inquiries to Applied Computing Review, Association for Computing Machinery, 2 Penn Plaza, Suite 701, New York, NY 10121-0701.
All ACR articles are externally, multiply and blindly reviewed for originality, importance, correctness, coherence, effectiveness and timeliness. Original articles relating to innovative and novel applications of, or experimentation with, computing technology or the production of new computing artifacts are encouraged. This includes general interest articles, surveys, case studies, and research monographs so long as they are oriented toward current or future computing applications. Normally, ACR will not publish reports, commentaries or correspondence. ACR will not consider articles which have appeared in, or are under consideration by, other publication Authors of accepted articles will be required to produce final version in camera-ready form. Although not required, authors are encouraged to submit articles in camera-ready form as well in order to determine any layout incompatibilities as early as possible in the production cycle.
By submitting your article for distribution in this Special Interest Group publication, you hereby grant to ACM the following non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide rights:

The SIGAPP Student Travel Award Program (STAP) was established to provide financial support for SIGAPP student members to attend SIGAPP primary conference (SAC) to present their accepted work. Student primary authors and co-authors are eligible to apply for these awards. The eligibility rules may vary year to year depending on funds availability. Applications are evaluated on a competitive basis.
Expenses eligible for coverage include conference registration fees, travel expenses to and from the conference, and accommodation expenses while attending SAC. Note that meal expenses will not be covered by these grants, neither will cost related to getting a visa to travel to the conference location. The award amounts vary year to year depending on type of travel (intercontinental or intra-continental) and the applicants pool and their needs. SIGAPP expects institutions to share costs in funding students travel to SAC.
Reimbursement is handled by ACM after the end of the conference. Recipients will received instructions from ACM on how to claim these awards. Recipients need to keep original receipts for all eligible expenses as they are required for reimbursement.
Students may join SIGAPP for a very nominal fee ($8) and become eligible for this funding. Only SIGAPP student members are eligible for this award. Please see Join SIGAPP for more details.
