About the Austrian Computer Society (OCG)
The objective of our Society is the comprehensive and interdisciplinary promotion of information processing, with due regard to its effects on man and society. In fulfilling this objective, the Society performs five primary functions:
- It serves as an umbrella organization of associations, organizations, and institutions in Austria involved in information processing (institutional members).
- It represents Austria in the IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) and in similar regional associations (e.g. CEPIS - the Council of European Professional Informatics Societies - and IMIA - the International Medical Informatics Association).
- It is affiliate member of ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) and of the IEEE Computer Society.
- It provides members with services, information and consultation.
- It promotes research and development projects, especially those of an interdisciplinary nature.
- It has established several Working Groups dealing with specialized aspects in the field of information technology.
- It organizes international conferences and congresses and helps its member institutions to organize such events.
At this time the Austrian Computer Society has more than 1000 individual members and more than 100 supporting and institutional members and it provides with our monthly mailings including information about national and international events such as conferences and congresses and our own journal "OCG Journal", which is published at least five times a year (in German language).
Members also have the advantage of obtaining reduced participation fees for conferences organized or supported by the Austrian Computer Society or any of their institutional members.
The annual fee for individual members is 36 €, for students 12 € and for pupils 6 €.
Fees for institutional members and supporting members on request.
