These attacks on statistical databases are no longer a theoretical danger.
The Compositional Architecture of the Internet
A new model for describing the Internet reflects today's reality and the future's needs.
Blogging Birds: Telling Informative Stories About the Lives of Birds from Telemetric Data
The system transforms raw telemetric data into engaging and informative blog texts readily understood by all.
Metamorphic Testing of Driverless Cars
Metamorphic testing can test untestable software, detecting fatal errors in autonomous vehicles' onboard computer systems.
Guiding Computers, Robots to See and Think
Fei-Fei Li, co-director of Stanford University's Human-Centered AI Institute, wants to create algorithms that can learn the way human babies do.
Governance and Oversight Coming to AI and Automation: Independent Audit of AI Systems
Independent Audit of AI Systems is the next evolution of governance for artificial intelligence and automation.
Privacy concerns arise around the New York Police Department's drone program.
Seeking Digital Humanities, IT Tech Support
Herbert Bruderer explains why the opposite of digital is not analog; Robin K. Hill describes how the challenges of user support are aggravated by indeterminate client responsibility.
Between the Lines in the China Region Special Section
I thought privacy in China deserved better treatment than was expressed in the foreword of the special section on the China Region (Nov. 2018), that "People in China seem less sensitive about privacy."
Retracing the pivotal privacy and security-related events and ensuing issues from the past year.
How Computer Science at CMU Is Attracting and Retaining Women
Carnegie Mellon University's successful efforts enrolling, sustaining, and graduating women in computer science challenge the belief in a gender divide in CS education.
Do We Really Need Computational Thinking?
Considering the expression "computational thinking" as an entry point to understand why the fundamental contribution of computing to science is the shift from solving problems to having problems solved.
A New Golden Age for Computer Architecture
Innovations like domain-specific hardware, enhanced security, open instruction sets, and agile chip development will lead the way.
Even Central Users Do Not Always Drive Information Diffusion
Diffusion speed and scale depend on all kinds of information, not just which users have the most or fewest connections.
SONYC: A System for Monitoring, Analyzing, and Mitigating Urban Noise Pollution
SONYC integrates sensors, machine listening, data analytics, and citizen science to address noise pollution in New York City.
Blockchains From a Distributed Computing Perspective
The roots of blockchain technologies are deeply interwoven in distributed computing.
Technical Perspective: How Economic Theories Can Help Computers Beat the Heat
The authors of "Distributed Strategies for Computational Sprints" bring the rich theory of allocating scarce resources to the challenge of managing computational sprinting in datacenters.
Distributed Strategies for Computational Sprints
We describe a computational sprinting architecture in which many, independent chip multiprocessors share a power supply and sprints are constrained by the chips' thermal limits and the rack's power limits.
Digital forensics seeks evidence in stored digital information; it's not as easy as it sounds.
Rogue Drone Pilots Face A New Foe: Deep Learning AI
A growing number of counter-drone systems look to overwhelm rogue drones, and find their pilots.
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.
