The Many Shapes of a Computer Science Career
When you apply for a career in tech, it often means having to decide: Am I a product manager? A software engineer? A researcher? A designer? Most of us have a variety of skills that don't all neatly fall into one box.
A look at some of the major research accomplishments resulting from the efforts of several academic institutes to secure cyberspace.
Accountability and Liability in Computing
The slow progress in cybersecurity is leading many to conclude the problem is not due to just a lack of technical solution but reflects a market failure, which disincentivizes those who may be able to fix serious security vulnerabilities from doing so.
The Blood Price of Unrestricted Privacy
Reinhard von Hanxleden ends his May 2022 Communications Viewpoint by pointing out the unthinking application of unconditional criteria to privacy "seems like a dead end in the long run." It has already proven to be a "dead end" with a Germanwings airliner crash into a cliff in France caused by the copilot.
Intent-Based Networking for the Enterprise: A Modern Network Architecture
IBN promises to better align network operations with enterprise intent, but several challenges must be resolved before it can reach its full potential.
Technical Perspective: The Power of Low-Power GPS Receivers for Nanosats
The work explored in "Hummingbird," by Sujay Narayana et al., focuses on the energy consumption of a typical GPS receiver and its operational challenges in a nanosat setting.
Hummingbird: An Energy-Efficient GPS Receiver for Small Satellites
In this work, we elucidate the design of a low-cost, low-power GPS receiver for small satellites.
Data Loss Prevention vs. Data-Centric Audit and Protection: What Is the Difference?
A look at the typical tasks solved by DCAP systems, and how they differ from those solved by DLP systems.
Computing’s Grand Challenge for Sustainability
The computing community should embrace a grand challenge to reduce the carbon-emissions and environmental impact of computing in absolute terms dramatically, and if possible, to zero.
Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?
The more I think about the potential brittleness of neural networks and recognition or decision making, the more I wonder how we will be able to tell when a neural network choice or decision is incorrect.
Driving an Innovation Contest into Crisis
Aleksandr Romanov considers how a lack of permanent leadership is impacting the InnovateFPGA contest.
Hidden Malware Ratchets Up Cybersecurity Risks
Cybercriminals could be hiding malware payloads in places where commercial cybersecurity software is unable to detect it.
In Memoriam: Juris Hartmanis 1928-2022
ACM Fellow and 1993 ACM A.M. Turing Award recipient Juris Hartmanis, co-inventor of complexity theory, died on July 29, 2022, at 94.
Assessing the Quantum-Computing Landscape
A summative assessment of quantum computing's progress, based on market readiness and investment levels, and its future implications.
Should Young Computer Scientists Stop Collaborating with Their Doctoral Advisors?
Factors that impact (positively and negatively) the advisor-advisee relationship.
Technical Perspective: Traffic Classification in the Era of Deep Learning
"Traffic Classification in an Increasingly Encrypted Web," by Iman Akbari et al., does a great job in reviewing related work in the network traffic classification space.
Traffic Classification in an Increasingly Encrypted Web
In this paper, we design a novel feature engineering approach used for encrypted Web protocols, and develop a neural network architecture based on stacked long short-term memory layers and convolutional neural networks.
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.
