In the computer field, a Special Interest Group is a community with a particular interest in a specific technical area. It is usually abbreviated SIG. Thus there are SIGs for computing architecture, graphics, security, and so forth. Members of an SIG cooperate to effect or to produce solutions within their particular area, and often meet regularly particularly during computing conferences.
