ACM SIGOPS is the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Operating Systems, an international community of students, faculty, researchers, and practitioners associated with research and development related to operating systems.{{cite web|title=Special Interest Group on Operating Systems|url=https://www.sigops.org/|website=SIGOPS|publisher=Association for Computing Machinery|access-date=7 June 2017}} The organization sponsors international conferences related to computer systems, operating systems, computer architectures, distributed computing, and virtual environments. In addition, the organization offers multiple awards recognizing outstanding participants in the field, including the Dennis M. Ritchie Doctoral Dissertation Award, in honor of Dennis Ritchie, co-creator of the C programming language and Unix operating system.{{cite news|title=Dennis Ritchie obituary|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2011/oct/13/dennis-ritchie|newspaper=The Guardian|date=13 October 2011 |access-date=7 June 2017 |last1=Campbell-Kelly |first1=Martin }}
History
In 1965, Henriette Avram started the ACM Special Interest Committee on Time-Sharing (SICTIME), and Arthur M. Rosenberg became the first chair. In 1968, the name was changed to ACM SIGOPS. By 1969, the organization included nearly 1000 members.{{cite web|title=A Chronological History of SIGOPS: its Officers, Conferences, and Awards|url=https://www.sigops.org/history.html|website=SIGOPS History|publisher=Association for Computing Machinery|access-date=7 June 2017}}
