Rethinking Rare Earth Elements
Researchers are looking to untapped sources—from fertilizer waste to printed circuit boards—to solve the environmental and supply chain problems of rare earth elements.
Quantum Datacenter Intranet Advances
While these breakthroughs must be considered proofs of concept, they demonstrate the pieces of future quantum datacenters are coming together, says independent analyst Bob Sorensen.
The Failings of Machine Learning Models
Risk assessment, accountability, explainability, and bias, among other factors, challenge the success of machine learning.
Software Architecture Decisions: Culture Considerations
Architecture decisions can have effects on a company and its culture that go beyond the soundness of the technology.
Forced Labor at Bührle’s Arms Factory
As has only recently become known, forced labor occurred at a former Bührle textile factory in Toggenburg, Switzerland. This and other Bührle companies played a significant role in Swiss IT history.

BlackByte Ransomware Bites Critical Infrastructure, the San Francisco 49ers
One ransomware attack struck a professional football team as competitors were preparing for the Super Bowl.
When reading papers, we make simplifications and have assumptions about author roles and relative contributions.
The Internet is equally available for beneficial and harmful purposes as is often the case with infrastructure open to public use. How can we preserve its beneficial uses and diminish unwanted harmful abuse?
Technology’s Impact on Morality
Leading technologists and thinkers are concerned about technology's impact on our ethical thinking.
The second Communications Regional Special Section spotlighting European countries and Israel highlights selected research and innovation projects in areas of traditional European CS strengths.
Communications’ Digital Initiative and Its First Digital Event
How AI and science are shaping each other.
Robotic Process Automation Platform UiPath
The UiPath platform provides core capabilities that make it easy to build, deploy, and manage software robots that emulate humans' interactions with information systems to perform certain tasks in business processes.
A new generation of wearable devices, so-called epidermal devices modeled after human skin, promises significantly better compatibility with the human body.
Internet of Production: Entering Phase Two of Industry 4.0
The Excellence Cluster "Internet of Production," started in 2019, aims at a new level of digital collaboration with data, models, and knowledge in production. The core idea is establishing a "worldwide lab" for cross-domain learning.
AI research and machine learning in particular aims at a new level of AI with considerably enhanced and broader capabilities for skill acquisition and problem solving.
A Federated Infrastructure for European Data Spaces
The Gaia-X project, with more than 300 members, aims at a federated data architecture that comprises not only data and smart services, but also cloud infrastructure services.
Privacy-Preserving AI for Future Networks
Traditional management solutions for telco networks are reaching their limits in dealing with today's complex ecosystem. Novel solutions are required to guarantee strict service requirements and effective resource management.
Mobile Phone Usage Data for Disaster Response
Mobility data can provide near real-time insights before, during, and after a disaster, when understanding population movements and mobility is important to the efficient provision of aid.
Not only data but physical and virtual objects will be controlled with 6G. This requires addressing trustworthiness of the system and its services at an unprecedented level.
Trends in Computer Science Research within European Countries
European institutes provide major worldwide contributions to research in multiple computer science domains.
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.
