John Arquilla considers how we should interpret the alleged Russian cyberattack on the U.S. Presidential election; Mark Guzdial describes the potential benefits of a 'computing lab.'
Seeking to use software, hardware, and algorithmic ingenuity to create unique domain-independent instruments.
What It Means to Be an Entrepreneur Today
In his keynote address before the fifth edition of the Tech Open Air conference in Berlin in 2016, Kickstarter's cofounder and CEO Yancey Strickler suggests the city's tech community faces "a very rare opportunity."
2002 ACM Turing laureate Len Adleman, 2014 ACM Prize in Computing recipient Dan Boneh, 2015 ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award recipient Brent Waters, and ACM Fellows Patrick McDaniel and Paul Van Oorschot discuss current issues in cybersecurity.
Gender Diversity in Computing: Are We Making Any Progress?
Recently I came across notes for a talk I gave in 1991 about women and computer science. It was depressing to read through it. Change the date and I could give the same talk today. How can that be?
A Genetic Theory of the Silicon Valley Phenomenon
What is it about the residents of Silicon Valley that encourages risk taking? I have often wondered about that and have reached an interesting, if possibly controversial conclusion.
Cybersecurity in the Trump Era
Deterrence is simply the wrong way to think about cybersecurity.
Cryptocurrencies are enabling illegal or immoral transactions in the dark corners of the Internet.

Along the way, acquire technical expertise and a master's degree, even while changing positions and companies.
Technical Perspective: The Power of Wi-Fi to Deliver Power
The authors of "Powering the Next Billion Devices with Wi-Fi" turn the problem of powering wireless sensor networks on its head. Instead of focusing on energy harvesting, they focus on wireless energy transfer.
Powering the Next Billion Devices with Wi-Fi
We present the first power over Wi-Fi system that delivers power to low-power sensors and devices and works with existing Wi-Fi chipsets.
ACM’s Open-Conference Principle and Political Reality
ACM's Open-Conference principle reflects ACM's mission of "advance computing as a science and a profession; enable professional development; and promote policies and research that benefit society." In the past few weeks, however, this principle has been gravely tested.
ACM’s Commitment to Accessibility
As ACM's President, I remain focused on issues of diversity. I would like to highlight two key aspects of accessibility already being addressed by ACM. The first is digital accessibility; the second is conference accessibility.
The Slow Evolution of CS For All, The Beauty of Programs
Mark Guzdial considers the steps needed to reach the goal of CS for All, while Robin K. Hill ponders the aesthetics of programming.
