Over the past fourteen years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world to interact and present their work. SAC 2000 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP). SAC 2000 is presented in cooperation with the ACM Special Interest Group on Biomedical Computing (SIGBIO) and the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Uses in Education (SIGCUE).
This year, for the first time, the Symposium is being held outside the United States, at Villa Olmo in Como, Italy.
