The two large general computing societies that are active in the U.S. are the Association for Computing Machinery (http://www.acm.org) and the IEEE Computer Society (http://www.computer.org). Most of the research work in ACM happens in its special interest groups (SIGs). ACM SIGs sponsor conferences and workshops, and ACM publishes research in the Journal of the ACM and a set of Transactions on various areas. ACM's flagship publication is Communications of the ACM (abbreviated CACM). The IEEE publishes research in a set of transactions, but their better known publications are a set of magazines, including Computer, their flagship.
Within operating systems, ACM includes SIGOPS (the Special Interest Group on Operating Systems). The USENIX Association (https://www.usenix.org/) started as a Unix users' group, but has since expanded to research and professional practice in a range of systems areas. The most prominent research appears in the conferences SOSP (the Symposium on Operating Systems Principles, held in odd years since 1967) and OSDI (the Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation, even years since 1994), and ACM's Transactions on Computer Systems.
SIGOPS names papers that have proven influential to its Hall of Fame.
