ACM currently categorizes the overarching discipline of computing into five defined subdisciplines (ACM, 2005) : computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, information systems and information technology. This report specifically focuses on information technology defined by the ACM CCECC as follows: Information Technology involves the design, implementation and maintenance of technology solutions and support for users of such systems. Associated curricula focus on crafting hardware and software solutions as applied to networks, security, clientserver and mobile computing, web applications, multimedia resources, communications systems, and the planning and management of the technology lifecycle (ACM CCECC, 2009).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
