ACM Books
High Quality, Advanced-Level Books for the Computing Community
ACM Books is a new series of scholarly research monographs and graduate-level texts, authored by computer scientists and practitioners at the forefront of computing technology. The series, published by ACM in collaboration with Morgan & Claypool Publishers, includes books from across the entire spectrum of computer science, geared to researchers, educators, practitioners and students.
The series focuses on four kinds of books: graduate-level textbooks; research monographs that provide an overview of established and emerging fields; practitioner-level professional books; and books devoted to the history and social impact of computing. ACM Books are conveniently published as ebooks and print volumes at affordable prices and widely distributed through booksellers and to libraries and individual ACM members via the ACM Digital Library.
Find Subject Coverage that Spans the Entire Range of Computing Science
The ACM Books series intends to be comprehensive in its coverage of both established and emerging computing fields. At present, the series' editorial scope spans the 19 broad subject areas listed below. We will expand this list to cover all areas of computer science and engineering research, and so this list will grow and change as we progress.
Discover an Editorial Board Comprised of the Foremost Names in Computer Science
ACM Books is managed by an editorial board composed of world renowned professionals in computer science and engineering who collectively represent the field’s major areas of study. The Editor-in-Chief, M. Tamer Özsu, is Professor of Computer Science at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science of the University of Waterloo.

Flexible Purchase Options for Libraries and Individuals
ACM Books are priced affordably for institutions to maximize the accessibility of all titles published in the series. Pricing is based on an “ownership model” that provides “archival rights” for customers purchasing the entire collection of ACM Books, with the ability to locally host individual titles for internal use at the discretion of the purchasing institution.
While individual titles in the series are available for purchase through the most popular book and e-book retailers, the most affordable way for individuals to access every book is through the heavily discounted ACM Membership pricing option ($29 annual price for professional members and $10 annual price for student members).
Another option is to make a purchase recommendation to your institution. Bundled pricing for institutions makes it possible for all users within the institutions to have unrestricted access to all titles published in the ACM Books series.
