Description: The Author Profile Page initially collects all the professional information known about authors from the publications record as known by the ACM bibliographic database, the Guide. Coverage of ACM publications is comprehensive from the 1950's. Coverage of other publishers generally starts in the mid 1980's. The Author Profile Page supplies a quick snapshot of an author's contribution to the field and some rudimentary measures of influence upon it. Over time, the contents of the Author Profile page may expand at the direction of the community.

Anecdote is the leading business narrative services firm in Australia renowned for its work in knowledge management, collaboration, leadership development and facilitating complex change initiatives.
How do business narrative techniques work? They involve the process of collecting and listening to people’s stories in the workplace and using these stories to understand what is really happening. This process creates the conditions for people to develop the resolve to make a change and solve what seemed like intractable problems. Leaders can also learn to tell better stories to enhance their ability to communicate important values and beliefs fundamental to the organisation’s culture.
