ACM SIGLOG retweeted
Today in #ComputingHistory, we celebrate #AdaLovelaceDay, an international celebration of women in STEM. Ada Lovelace Day was established in 2009 to honor her legacy and highlight the many contributions of women in STEM. It strives to inspire future generations to pursue careers in these fields.
In 1843, Ada Lovelace published what is widely regarded as the first computer program. Lovelace recognized that a machine could follow instructions to solve complex problems and predicted that computers would do far more than calculations.
Her legacy continues to inspire. #OTD buff.ly/V8tN8M5

There is a fresh issue of ACM SIGLOG news, the first one from 2026!! Edited by Daniele Gorla, it starts with the letter of the SIGLOG Chair Catuscia Palamidessi describing the actual situation of SIGLOG.

Also, the conference coordinator of SIGLOG News, Joost-Pieter Katoen, introduces a report on the flagship conference of SIGLOG, namely LICS 2025 (the 40th edition of the ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science), written by the PC Chairs Barbara König and Lars Birkedal.
The 2025 Alonzo Church Award for Outstanding Contributions to Logic and Computation is presented to Paul Blain Levy for his fundamental study of effectful λ-calculi through the Call-by-Push-Value calculus.
To date, CBPV remains a unifying starting point in the study of computational and logical phenomena, including: effects, polarisation, term normalisation, type-isomorphisms, and program transformations.
