Welcome to the SIGSEGV 2017 Website
The annual biannual occasional SIGSEGV Conference
is the flagship conference of the ACH Special Interest Group on Silly and
EGregious Violations of common sense. It is the world's premier forum for
researchers, developers, programmers, and teachers of computer technology
with terrible ideas. Academic and industrial participants present research and
experience papers that cover the full range of harebrained ideas in computer and information
science, from single-word programming languages and incompetent search algorithms
to deliberately unstable operating systems.
SIGSEGV 2017 will be held on March 26, 2017 at Room 114, Gates Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA, Earth, Sol System, Milky Way, Local Group, Virgo Supercluster, Observable Universe.
Previous years' conference websites: 2014.
