ACM Multimedia 2013 – Challenges and Competitions
The program of ACM Multimedia is very diverse: apart from oral and poster presentations, panels and keynotes there are challenges and competitions. Some may really help your work.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Autonomous Vehicles Roll Forward
Self-driving vehicles will likely provide substantial benefits, and introduce new challenges.
Formal Verification of Phase-Locked Loops Using Reachability Analysis and Continuization
We present a scalable and formal technique to verify locking time and stability for charge-pump phase-locked loops (PLLs).
A Blueprint for Building a Quantum Computer
Quantum computer architecture holds the key to building commercially viable systems.
Software Helps Linguists Reconstruct, Decipher Ancient Languages
Linguists who once spent an entire career reconstructing a major language family now can accomplish that in just a few hours.
Technical Perspective: Can We Verify Cyber-Physical Systems?
Developing effective symbolic verification technology for mixed discrete-analog models has proved to be a challenging problem. The following paper by Althoff et al. reports a major milestone in this quest.
The Alan Turing Year Leaves a Rich Legacy
A year-long celebration of the life and work of a man whom many call the founding father of computer science.
Online Algorithms in High-Frequency Trading
The challenges faced by competing HFT algorithms.
Passively Measuring TCP Round-Trip Times
A close look at round-trip time measurements with the Transmission Control Protocol.
A special section on high-frequency trading and exchange technology.
The First Heidelberg Laureate Forum 2013
The Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) 2013 is an annual event where 200 young researchers get to meet with and learn from 40 Turing Award, Fields Medal, Abel Prize and Nevanlinna Prize winners for a whole week from September 22-27, 2013 at the beautiful campus of the Heidelberg University. The laureates in attendance this year are the 40 of the best minds in mathematics and computer science.
Exploring autonomous systems and the agents that control them.
An Overview of Non-Uniform Memory Access
NUMA becomes more common because memory controllers get close to execution units on microprocessors.
The Balancing Act of Choosing Nonblocking Features
Design requirements of nonblocking systems.
Watch out for these pitfalls that can prevent Web application scaling.
Technical Perspective: Progress in Visual Categorization
Our visual system helps us carry out our daily business. Our eyes and brain help us by measuring shapes, trajectories, and distances in world around us, and by recognizing materials, objects, and scenes. Can we reproduce these abilities in a machine?
Visual Object Detection with Deformable Part Models
We describe a state-of-the-art system for finding objects in cluttered images. Our system is based on deformable models that represent objects using local part templates and geometric constraints on the locations of parts.
"Inspiring," "visionary," "humble," "honest," "impeccable integrity," "passionate and stubborn about his work." Tributes poured in for Douglas Engelbart, inventor of the computer mouse and an Internet pioneer, following his death from kidney failure July 2.
Novel architecture allows programmers to quickly reconfigure network resource usage.
Computing with Real Numbers, from Archimedes to Turing and Beyond
How to test the usefulness of computation for understanding and predicting continuous phenomena.
Are Data Miners Ready to Hang p the Hard Hat and Put on a Lab Coat?
We will find out this week at the annual ACM SIGKDD on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining conference in Chicago.
A New Approach to Information Storage
Disk drives and solid-state drives have long served as the foundation for computer storage, but breakthroughs in molecular and DNA science could revolutionize the field.
Taking a biologically inspired approach to the design of autonomous, adaptive machines.
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.
