Using real event data to X-ray business processes helps ensure conformance between design and reality.
Spreadsheet Data Manipulation Using Examples
Millions of computer end users need to perform tasks over large spreadsheet data, yet lack the programming knowledge to do such tasks automatically. We present a methodology that allows end users to automate such repetitive tasks.
Technical Perspective: Example-Driven Program Synthesis For End-User Programming
As information technology has come to permeate our society, broader classes of users have developed the need for more sophisticated data manipulation and processing. The following paper focuses on an important emerging area — end user programming.
Machine Learning and Algorithms; Agile Development
John Langford poses questions about the direction of research for machine learning and algorithms. Ruben Ortega shares lessons about agile development practices like Scrum.
DARPA Shredder Challenge Solved
The eight-person winning team used original computer algorithms to narrow the search space and then relied on human observation to move the pieces into their final positions.
With the help of supercomputers, scientists are now able to create models of large-scale astronomical events.
Assistance Systems Help Out Distracted Drivers
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are changing the way we drive — and paving the way for cars that can drive themselves.
Active queue management is just one piece of the solution to persistently full buffers.
My Compiler Does Not Understand Me
Until our programming languages catch up, code will be full of horrors.
Alan Turing’s Other Universal Machine
All computer scientists know about the Universal Turing Machine, one of the foundation stones of theoretical computer science. Much less well known is the practical stored program computer Turing proposed after the war in February 1946.
Why On-Chip Cache Coherence Is Here to Stay
On-chip hardware coherence can scale gracefully as the number of cores increases.
Large-Scale Complex IT Systems
The reductionism behind today's software-engineering methods breaks down in the face of systems complexity.
When glasses track glances, will eyes still meet across a crowded room?
Predatory Scholarly Publishing
In a typical business, you have two parties: sellers and buyers. In scholarly publishing you also have sellers and buyers, these are the publishers and the research libraries. However, you have two additional parties. On one side, authors. On the other, editors and reviewers.
A novel paradigm for programming reactive systems centered on naturally specified modular behavior.
Social Network Data Reveals Non-Members’ Secrets
People who avoid social networking sites to maintain their privacy may not be as secure as they think, German computer scientists say.
Electronic patient records contain a treasure trove of data, and researchers are using natural language processing technology to mine the structured data and free text.
Judea Pearl's passionate advocacy of the importance of probability and causality helped revolutionize artificial intelligence.
Improvements in camera hardware, image processing, camera-photographer interfaces, and image viewing are advancing the state of the art in digital photography.
Exploring the technology trends in basic, integrated, and cloud data services.
Real-Time Computer Vision with OpenCV
Mobile computer-vision technology will soon become as ubiquitous as touch interfaces.
Trust Extension For Commodity Computers
A user's trust in a single device can be extended to many other devices.
Artificial intelligence pioneer Judea Pearl discusses probability, causation, the calculus of intervention, and counterfactuals.
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.
