Unions and Associations
Big data professionals do not belong to unions, but several associations provide useful resources. The Association for Computing Machinery publishes XRDS (a magazine for students), ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from Data, and Journal of Data and Information Quality; hosts more than 170 conferences and other events worldwide; has a Special Interest Group on Management of Data; and provides information on education and careers at its Web site. Other noteworthy organizations include American Mathematical Society, American Statistical Society, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, DAMA International, Data Science Association, IEEE Computer Society, INFORMS, and TDWI.
