The International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) is a worldwide organisation for researchers and professionals working in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). IFIP links over 48 national societies and academies of science, has head offices in Laxenburg, Austria and operates on a non-governmental, non-profit basis. Activities are coordinated by more than a dozen Technical Committees (TCs). Each TC covers particular aspects of computing and related disciplines, ranging from Computer Systems, Communication Systems, Information Systems, IT Applications, Human-Computer Interaction, Entertainment Computing, Software, Foundations, Artificial Intelligence, Security and Privacy, Modelling and Optimisation, ICT and Society as well as Education. IFIP strongly promotes the principle of open access and proceedings of which IFIP holds the copyright are made electronically available via IFIP’s Open Access Digital Library.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IFIP Open Access Digital Library )〕 Downloading articles from IFIP’s Open DL is not only free of charge, but as opposed to commercial publishers and other professional organisations, IFIP does not charge authors of open access articles for publishing in its Open DL. Conference and workshop organizers who prefer printed proceedings can take advantage of the agreement between IFIP and Springer and publish their proceedings as part of IFIP's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) or Advances in Information and Communication Technology (AICT) series. Proceedings by Springer published in IFIP’s LNCS and AICT series will be included within IFIP’s Open DL after an embargo period of three years. An important activity of the IFIP Technical Committees is to organise and sponsor high quality conferences and workshops in the field of ICT. Sponsoring is generally in the form of Best Paper Awards (BPA) and/or Student Travel Grants (STG). To assist conference and workshop organizers, IFIP has facilities to host conference websites and supports conference management systems such as JEMS, which include export functions that seamlessly integrate with IFIP’s Open DL. == History == IFIP was established in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO, originally under the name International Federation of Information Processing Societies (IFIPS). In preparation, UNESCO had organized the first International Conference on Information Processing, which took place in June 1959 in Paris, and is now considered the first IFIP Congress. The name was changed to the current name in 1961. The original contribution of IFIP was the definition of the Algol 60 programming language, which was one of the first examples of truly international collaboration in computer science and left a durable mark on the entire field. The founding president of IFIP was Isaac L. Auerbach (1960–1965).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Isaac L Auerbach )〕 In 2009, under the auspices of IFIP, the International Professional Practice Partnership (IFIP IP3) was implemented "Leading the Development of the Global IT Profession."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 IFIP News March 2010 – IP3 News March 2010 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 IP3 -- Leading the Development of the Global IT Profession )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Federation for Information Processing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
