In accordance with the Constitution and Bylaws of the ACM, the Nominating Committee hereby submits the following slate of nominees for ACM's officers.
Focusing on Teacher Needs in K-12 CS Education
CS educational needs in K–12 are greater today than ever before. A lack of access to CS among a range of demographics continues to persist. Enter the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA).
On repositories of patches and tension between security professionals and in-house developers.
Increasing the Participation of Individuals with Disabilities in Computing
Lessons learned from a decade of practice.
Digital maps can be engineered to adapt to a person's unique interests and experience in geographic space.
Connecting mathematical logic and computation, it ensures that some aspects of programming are absolute.
Smart Data Pricing: Using Economics to Manage Network Congestion
Economic incentives that alleviate congestion for Internet customers can also improve business performance for network operators.
Why Our Theories of Innovation Fail Us
Until we moderate our fascination with creating ideas, we will not achieve the rate of innovations we seek.
The Case For Banning Killer Robots: Point
Ban the bots? Considering both sides of the argument for and against.
Mary Jane Irwin on building advanced circuits, special processors, and a hardware description language, while advocating for women in computer science.
Reproducibility of code is increasingly crucial to verifying scientific claims.
Technology Brings Online Education in Line with Campus Programs
Whether sitting in front of a screen or in a classroom, online and campus-based institutions want to verify students actually attend classes, take exams.
Creating a New Generation of Computational Thinkers
Experiences with a successful school program in Scotland.
Balancing statistical accuracy and subject privacy in large social-science datasets.
Challenges of Memory Management on Modern N-UMA Systems
Optimizing NUMA systems applications with Carrefour.
Lean Software Development: Building and Shipping Two Versions
Catering to developers' strengths while still meeting team objectives.
I suspect many computer scientists, like me, like to believe that, on the whole, computing benefits humanity. Thus, it is disturbing to realize computing is also making a major contribution to military technology.
Volunteers provide ACM with the intellectual and operational muscle power it needs to carry out myriad activities in support of computer science professionals and practitioners around the world.
Cerf Cites Challenges Facing the Internet of Things
Moving the Internet of Things forward will require, among other things, standards, the ability to configure massive numbers of devices, and a healthy dose of paranoia.
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.
