What is IFIP?

ABSTRACT

I serve as ACM's representative to Technical Committee 3 (TC3) of IFIP, the International Federation for Information Processing. TC3 is concerned with education relative to computing, and ACM's representative to TC3 is supported by SIGCSE. SIGCSE Chair Henry Walker has suggested that as one step in fostering mutually beneficial activities between SIGCSE and TC3, it would be beneficial to include some information in Inroads about IFIP and its TC3. This column is the first of a series that is intended to acquaint SIGCSE members with IFIP and TC3, and we begin with an overview of IFIP.
