Heterogeneous Von Neumann/Dataflow Microprocessors
This work studies the potential of a paradigm of heterogeneous execution models by developing a specialization engine for explicit-dataflow (SEED) and integrating it with a standard out-of-order (OOO) core.
Countering the Negative Image of Women in Computing
A positive image would inspire the capable but underrepresented who might otherwise give up on computing.
The Limit of Blockchains: Infeasibility of a Smart Obama-Trump Contract
Although smart contracts are Turing complete, it is a misconception that they can fulfill all routine contracts.
The Furby singularity promises eternal conversation with the untimely departed.
Deep Insecurities: The Internet of Things Shifts Technology Risk
A more connected world sounds alluring, but without better protections, the Internet of Things could lead to disaster.
Enterprise Wi-Fi: We Need Devices That Are Secure by Default
Seeking to increase awareness of WPA2 Enterprise network security technology flaws and reduce risk to users.
APIs, Standards, and Enabling Infrastructure
The widespread sharing of common or standardized APIs confers rich opportunities for choices of operating system or library implementations for the programming of applications.
Quantum Hype and Quantum Skepticism
The beauty of classical computing is that developing algorithms is incredibly easy. In contrast, in more than 25 years of intense research on quantum computing, only a few dozen algorithms have been developed.
Implementing Guidelines for Governance, Oversight of AI, and Automation
Governance and independent oversight on the design and implementation of all forms of artificial intelligence and automation is a cresting wave about to break comprehensively on the field of IT and computing.
An Emerging Threat, Hiding in Plain Sight
Steganography hides information, sometimes right before your eyes.
The Problem with SMS Two-Factor Authentication
SMS two-factor authentication has some security issues that have prompted companies to get creative.
Pondering Variables and Direct Instruction
Robin K. Hill considers the nature of variables, while Mark Guzdial reflects on renewed interest in the "direct instruction model."
Research into next-generation storage techniques marches forward, yet tape remains the most viable, dependable medium.
HiPEAC: A European Network Built to Last
High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation (HiPEAC) has grown from 70 to 2,000 computing specialists in the last 15 years, including 200 from industry, making it the largest such network in the world.
Cyber Security in the Quantum Era
Quantum systems will significantly affect the field of cyber security research.
In 1980, the National Science Foundation sponsored the development of CSNET to connect a number of computer science departments together that had not already been connected to the ARPANET. NSF continues its vigorous support for network research to this day.
New European Data Privacy and Cyber Security Laws: One Year Later
Two landmark pieces of legislation taking effect in Europe this year represent a major shift in the European industry's approach to privacy and security compliance.
Enterprises Lead ICT Innovation in Europe
Europe's tech ecosystem is renewing itself: $3.5 billion was invested in so-called deep tech companies in 2017 across more than 600 deals, up from $2.5 billion in 2016.
Welcome to the Europe Region Special Section
Europe provides a unique environment for the development of a distinctive computing landscape. You will see this reflected in the Europe Region Special Section.
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.
