The Influence and Promise of Alliances
Evaluating the influence of broadening participation efforts on students, faculty, organizations, and the computing education infrastructure.
Conversations with Technology Leaders: Erik Meijer
Great engineers are able to maximize their mental power.
Cyber Insecurity and Cyber Libertarianism
Here we are, 70 years into the computer age and after three ACM Turing Awards in the area of cryptography, and we still do not seem to know how to build secure information systems. And yet, our community marches forward with no special sense of urgency.
Preparing Tomorrow’s Faculty to Address Challenges in Teaching Computer Science
Using a "boot camp" workshop for new faculty orientation.
Expert-curated guides to the best of CS research.
Void safety, says Bertrand Meyer, relies on type declarations and static analysis.
Supercomputers will sift massive amounts of data in search of therapies that work.
Developers of innovative assistive devices compete as a means of networking with each other.
Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning are motivating researchers to design and build new chips to support different computing models.
Listening to Professional Voices: Draft 2 of the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
For the first time since 1992, the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (the Code) is being updated. We look forward to receiving your comments on these suggested changes and your requests for additional changes as we work on Draft 3 of the Code.
User attitudes toward online intellectual property reveal how far social norms have strayed from legal notions of ownership.
Responsible Research and Innovation in the Digital Age
RRI requires doing the best science for the world, not only the best science in the world.
On a mission to boldly go where no man has gone before, the series and movies somehow missed some promising technologies . . .
Can Liberty Survive the Digital Age?
Online social media have provided a megaphone for voices that might not have been heard except in limited circles. The amplifying effect, however, gives visibility to deliberate (or ignorant) misinformation, hate speech, incitement to violence, and advocacy of terrorism.
New hardware, services are aimed at identifying malware before it has the chance to execute.
Cyber Insecurity and Cyber Libertarianism
Here we are, 70 years into the computer age and we still do not seem to know how to build secure information systems. And yet, our community marches forward with no special sense of urgency.
Implantable wireless monitors give researchers a new look inside the human body.
Online Social Networks and Global Women’s Empowerment
Mediating social change or reinforcing male hegemony?
Attack of the Killer Microseconds
Microsecond-scale I/O means tension between performance and productivity that will need new latency-mitigating ideas, including in hardware.
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.
