Watson Research Center, and then transferred in 1975 to what is now the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California. He has served as program committee chair for ACM Symposium on Principles of Database Systems 1984,〔(ACM Symposium on Principles of Database Systems 1984 )〕 Theoretical Aspects of Reasoning about Knowledge 1994,〔(Theoretical Aspects of Reasoning about Knowledge 1994 )〕 ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing 2005,〔(Symposium on Theory of Computing 2005 )〕 and the International Conference on Database Theory 2009.〔(International Conference on Database Theory 2009 )〕 Fagin has received numerous professional awards for his work. He was elected Member of the National Academy of Engineering, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, IBM Fellow, ACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow, and Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
