Technical Perspective: BLeak: Semantics-Aware Leak Detection in the Web
What is the right leak oracle that can precisely capture the behavior of leaks in Web applications? "BLeak: Automatically Debugging Memory Leaks in Web Applications," by John Vilk and Emery D. Berger, provides a simple and yet unexpected answer to this question.
BLeak: Automatically Debugging Memory Leaks in Web Applications
This paper introduces BLeak (Browser Leak debugger), the first system for automatically debugging memory leaks in web applications.
First European Quantum Computing Facility Goes Online
Quantum Inspire is smaller than IBM's Quantum Experience, but offers the first online quantum processor that uses electron spins in quantum dots as qubits.
Virtual Reality Meets the Office
"Virtual meeting spaces greatly expand the possibilities for online communication—and, at their best, create an environment that parallels or exceeds real world interaction."
Measuring Up: How to Properly Measure Your Programmers
To measure or to not measure, that is the question. Ask programmers and many will tell you that measurement is a fool’s folly. Measurement undermines the team spirit, or it reduces dynamic solutions into simplified numbers that can never reflect the true complexity of the project. On the other hand, without measurement, project managers will struggle to stay on top of a project.
AI Shakes Up the Seismology World
Artificial intelligence is reshaping our understanding of earthquakes and other seismological events
Switzerland's EFPL has developed inexpensive prototype bots that can be used to form, and act as, swarms.
Prepare Your Meal Together with a Robot
Julie Shah and her team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology build robots that can learn from demonstration, understand humans, and truly collaborate.
Protecting Computers and People From Viruses
Robin K. Hill considers why the comparison of organic viruses and computer viruses is so compelling.
Bouncing Balls and Quantum Computing
A lighthearted method for calculating π is analogous to a fundamental algorithm for quantum computing.
Who Has Access to Your Smartphone Data?
ISPs, app developers, and even the government may know more about you than you think.
Frances E. Allen was the first woman recipient of the ACM A.M. Turing Award.
A Holistic View of Future Risks
Almost everything is somehow interrelated with everything else—and that should not surprise us.
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.
