Long Tail Criticism Might Affect E-Business Strategies
The Long Tail theory embraced by online businesses has taken some recent criticism, raising questions about whether businesses should change their e-strategies.
Materials Restore Functionality in a Snap
Researchers are working on "self-healing" electronic materials that could lead in time to computer components that can fix themselves when they break.
Shape-Shifting Material Suggests Morphable Hardware
Electronic devices that can change their physical shape depending on the needs of the user might sound far-fetched. But recent research advances on several fronts have brought such shape-shifting hardware closer to reality.
How Computing Is Changing Journalism
Computing has influenced many fields in a big way, and journalism is one of them. There’s an ongoing trend away from print media and toward digital, and this is helping to create a new discipline known as computational journalism. Computational journalism combines data, algorithms, and knowledge to produce information, and may eventually perform some of the media's watchdog role.
CRA's Computing Community Consortium hosted a day-long symposium to discuss the important computing advances of the last several decades and how to sustain that track record of innovation.
A diverse, international group of more than 200 attendees met at the Rebooting Computing Summit to address the problems confronting computer science.
Shape the Future of Computing
