Founded in 1975, the Association sponsors two annual technical conferences and frequent symposia and workshops addressing special interest topics, such as C++, Mach, systems administration, and security. USENIX publishes proceedings of its meetings, a bi-monthly newsletter ;login:, a refereed technical quarterly, Computing Systems, and is expanding its publishing role with a book series on advanced computing systems. The Association also actively participates in and reports on the activities of various ANSI, IEEE and ISO standards efforts. The Association offers individual ($65 dues), student ($20), Educational ($160), Corporate ($300), and Supporting ($1000) memberships. All members receive a subscription to our newsletter and journal, as well as discounts at our conferences and on our proceedings.
