Computer Systems Research: The Joys, the Perils, and How to Count Beans Well
This post is meant to highlight my subjective take on the joys and the road bumps on the way to doing innovative work in computer systems.
Conversational interfaces provide spoken responses to queries of business databases.
Which birthdays would have special significance if our culture were binary-based instead of decimal-based?
U.S. infrastructure shortcomings re-ignite public/private debate over broadband.
Manufactured goods today do not seem to take into account the possibility of repair.
Pitting Computers Against Each Other . . . in Chess
Guest blogger Monroe Newborn on the 50th anniversary of ACM computer chess tournaments.
Technologies for the Visually Impaired
The last decade has seen major advancements in technology for the blind and visually impaired, but problems remain.
Giving robots soft, artificial skin would enable them to work more closely with people.
Tracing the contacts of those who come into contact with the coronavirus is not that simple.
U.S. States Must Broaden Participation While Expanding Access to Computer Science Education
Incorporating equity and inclusion in the effort toward access for everyone.
SATURN: An Introduction to the Internet of Materials
We propose an Internet of Materials, where the very materials of objects and surfaces are augmented or manufactured to have computational capabilities.
Technical Perspective: The Future of Large-Scale Embedded Sensing
The system described in "SATURN: An Introduction to the Internet of Materials" works passively, energized essentially by static electricity generated as layers move relative to each other during vibration.
Federated Learning for Privacy-Preserving AI
Engineering and algorithmic framework to ensure data privacy and user confidentiality.
Measuring Internet Speed: Current Challenges and Future Recommendations
Speed testing methods have flourished over the last decade, but none without at least some limitations.
Technical Perspective: XNOR-Networks – Powerful but Tricky
How to produce a convolutional neural net that is small enough to run on a mobile device, and accurate enough to be worth using? The strategies in "Enabling AI at the Edge with XNOR-Networks" are the best known to date.
Enabling AI at the Edge with XNOR-Networks
We present a novel approach to running state-of-the-art AI algorithms in edge devices, and propose two efficient approximations to standard convolutional neural networks.
Why Great Programmers Pull Back the Curtain While Programming
Want to be a great programmer? If so, you have to pull back the curtain and learn how software really works. A deeper understanding helps programmers further their skills and knowledge. And that can pay off for years to come.
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.
