SAC is the premier annual conference sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP).

The 2016 edition of SAC will be held on April 4-8, 2016 in Pisa, Italy, jointly hosted by two University institutions:

University of Pisa

Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna

ACM SAC adopts a track-based organization, with multiple tracks focusing on different facets of Applied Computing. Conference tracks are set upon a selection of proposals, so to have in each SAC edition a broad coverage of the most interesting and hot topics in the area.

Researcher and practitioners from both academia and industry find in SAC the right place to both discuss issues and solutions in their specific interest field, and get in touch with ideas from neighboring investigation areas. Specific tutorials and keynote speeches from leading researches represent important and popular events as well.

SAC participates also in the ACM Student Research Competition (SRC), a unique opportunity for students to experience the research world. The SRC Program is sponsored by
