SIGDOC

SIGDOC is the Special Interest Group on Design of Communication of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), an international learned society for computing. ACM SIGDOC was founded in 1975 by Joseph "Joe" T. Rigo.[1]

Description

SIGDOC’s mission is to advance the state of knowledge, encourage the research, and support the interdisciplinary practice of the design of communication.

SIGDOC emphasizes the following areas of special interest to its members:

Mission

The mission of SIGDOC includes:

  • encouraging interdisciplinary problem solving related to the user-centered design, development, and delivery of communication and experiences
  • promoting the application of theory to practice by connecting member contributions from research and industry
  • studying and encouraging emerging modes of communication across organizations
  • promoting the professional development of communication strategists, architects, planners, and designers
  • providing avenues for publication of research and exchange of best practices
  • supporting the research and development of communication and processes, including applications, networks, and services

SIGDOC Awards

SIGDOC sponsors a number of awards as a means of recognizing outstanding contributions to the field. Awards are presented at the annual SIGDOC conference.

Rigo Awards

The Rigo Award is presented to an individual for a lifetime of significant work in the design of communication. Rigo Awards are given every other year, during even-numbered years. This award is named after Joseph Rigo, the founder of SIGDOC.[4]

Previous winners include the following:

Diana Awards

The Diana Award is given every other year, during odd-numbered years, to an organization which has collectively made an impact on the field. This award is named after Diana Patterson, a past chair for SIGDOC.[4]

gollark: OOP isn't *that* apioformic.
gollark: That is why they are "public".
gollark: No, you can use public ones.
gollark: *Technically*, it's not enforced whatsoever in Python and you can access any attribute of any class and horribly monkey-patch literally anything (except builtins).
gollark: Depending on language, if the class it's on is in a different package, or if you are not a subclass of it.
