The first ACM Summit on Computing Education in China was held on 24th and 25th October 2008. The ACM China education summit represented an important initiative, one of the steps that ACM has taken to increase its relevance to computing in China. The Summit took place in the Royal King Hotel in Beijing immediately prior to the annual meeting of Chinese Deans and Heads of computing.
ACM's goal in China is to help advance computing as a science and profession. The goals of this first education summit included the promotion of the discipline of computing, learning about good practices in computing education from within China, and where possible assisting in the enhancement of the quality of computing education in China.
Twenty papers were submitted following a call for papers circulated throughout top-tier Chinese universities. The submissions told a very interesting story rebarding priorities and concerns within China.
The reviewing process resulted in about 60% of the papers being accepted. There were also 4 high-quality keynote speakers: Xiaoming Li from Peking University; Frans Kashoeek from MIT; Jane Prey from Microsoft Research in the US; and Larry Snyder from the University of Washington, Seattle. John White, Chief Executive Officer of ACM, gave a presentation on "ACM and China."
