Welcome to the SIGSEGV 2018 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 2018 will be held on March 24, 2018 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, 2017.
