  • Abstract
    The computer science discipline was born in the early 1960s. Important conferences analyzed the nature of CS, the pros and cons of what the new discipline should encompass, and whether universities should offer CS programs. The culmination of these efforts was the ACM Curriculum 68, a series of reports and recommendations that ultimately influenced CS programs worldwide.
