When Software Engineering Meets Quantum Computing
We present highlights of EU-level quantum computing initiatives, argue the need for quantum software engineering, and shed light on possible research directions.
Trust, Regulation, and Human-in-the-Loop AI: within the European region
The trustworthiness of AI systems must be planned, rather than an afterthought.
Energy Informatics: Key Elements for Tomorrow's Energy System
The transition of energy systems toward renewable sources has led to a strong need for essential contributions from the computer science community to maintain stability and security of supply, particularly for the electric power grid.
Technical Perspective: Exploring Cognitive Bias ‘In the Wild’
The authors of "Cognitive Biases in Software Development" rightly highlight the need for situated studies that examine cognitive bias 'in the wild' during software development activity.
Market Segmentation in the Emoji Era
A better understanding and use of unstructured data can improve customer loyalty and relationships for most organizations.
Digital Twins and Artificial Intelligence as Pillars of Personalized Learning Models
Personalized learning models can cut student dropout rates, boost student success, improve the integration of online and on-site students, better support teachers in mixed-teaching modalities, enhance accessibility, and more.
Cognitive Biases in Software Development
We conducted a two-part field study to examine the extent to which cognitive biases occur, the consequences of these biases on developer behavior, and the practices and tools that developers use to deal with these biases.
Scripting languages promise easy automation but prove difficult to learn. Let's stop focusing on simplified syntax and instead focus on understandability and learnability.
Your Job Can Be Done Better By My Algorithm
In our rarefied world of university teaching and learning, which jobs can be replaced by algorithms?
ACM, Ethics, and Corporate Behavior
The biggest problem that computing faces today is not that AI technology is unethical, but that AI technology is used by large and powerful corporations to support a business model that is, arguably, unethical.
A Division in Computer Science
The January 2022 Editor-in-Chief's column "Is the Global Computing Community Irrevocably Divided?" raises an important question. From a computing perspective, it is difficult to attempt a complete answer, let alone a solution.
Carlos Baquero offers guidance on how to decide where to publish one's paper.
Changing the World Through HCI and UX
You can build the best technology, but if it doesn't meet real needs, it becomes a misdirected effort. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) helps ensure technologies are useful and usable.
Algorithmic Hiring Needs a Human Face
Artificial intelligence may be an unstoppable force, but in the recruitment market it has met an immovable object: humans. Something has to give.
