The Sand-Heap Paradox of Privacy and Influence
In 2018, Arnold Kling wrote a famous blog article, "How the Internet turned bad." It is time for us, as a community, to ask now: "How do we turn the Internet good?"
Formalizing and Guaranteeing Human-Robot Interaction
As robots begin to interact closely with humans, we need to build systems worthy of trust regarding the safety and quality of the interaction.

Technical Perspective: An Elegant Model for Deriving Equations
"Deriving Equations from Sensor Data Using Dimensional Function Synthesis," by Vasileios Tsoutsouras, et al., addresses the key problem of discovering relationships that hold between physical quantities from data using dimensional analysis to drastically narrow down the space of hypotheses.
Deriving Equations from Sensor Data Using Dimensional Function Synthesis
We present a new method, which we call dimensional function synthesis, for deriving functions that model the relationship between multiple signals in a physical system.
Defending Against the Next Stuxnet
Experts are skeptical of an Iranian plan to evade Stuxnet replay attacks.
New Areas for Application of Self-Organizing Routing
To organize the productive work of multiprocessor chips, it is necessary to establish an efficient distribution of computational processes between computational cores.
Simba: Scaling Deep-Learning Inference with Chiplet-Based Architecture
This work investigates and quantifies the costs and benefits of using multi-chip-modules with fine-grained chiplets for deep learning inference, an application domain with large compute and on-chip storage requirements.
In-Sensor Classification With Boosted Race Trees
We demonstrate the potential of a novel form of encoding, race logic, in which information is represented as the delay in the arrival of a signal.
Toward Confidential Cloud Computing
Extending hardware-enforced cryptographic protection to data while in use.
Technical Perspective: Race Logic Presents a Novel Form of Encoding
"In-Sensor Classification With Boosted Race Trees," by Georgios Tzimpragos, et al., proposes a surprising, novel, and creative approach to post-Moore's Law computing by rethinking the digital/analog boundary.
Shaping the Foundations of Programming Languages
ACM A.M. Turing Award recipients Alfred Aho and Jeffrey Ullman discuss their early work, the 'Dragon Book,' and the future of 'live' computer science education.
Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
