Hello everyone, Please find below the call for nominations for our history of computing book prize. Last year’s went to Christophe Lecuyer for Inventing Silicon Valley. There’s a nice write up in the CBI newsletter: http://www.cbi.umn.edu/newsletter/article3.html. Jen Light is chair of the prize committee this year, and Pierre Mounier-Kuhn joins the committee to replace Paul Ceruzzi. Tom Misa is now in his final year on the panel. Thanks to all of them for their service to SIGCIS. Jen has told me that to renominate a book submitted last year you or your publisher need send only ONE additional copy, to Pierre Mounier-Kuhn as the new committee member. $1000 and a certificate could be yours!
