International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP)

"The International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), a non-governmental, non-profit umbrella organization for national societies working in the field of information processing, was established in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO as an aftermath of the first World Computer Congress held in Paris in 1959."

Technical work is managed by a number of Technical Committees, including Technical Committee 13 on Human-Computer Interaction (TC13). Technical committees are mainly active in sponsoring and organizing events, such as conferences and workshops, and in publishing books and proceedings.

The US is officially represented by the Federation on Computing in the United States (FOCUS) comprising both the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS). The British Computer Society is the UK member society.

Members of IFIP member societies are entitled to a 35% discount on all IFIP publications with Chapman & Hall and a 25% discount on all other Chapman & Hall computing and electronic engineering books.
