Is Persistent Memory Persistent?
A simple and inexpensive test of failure-atomic update mechanisms.
Investigating student knowledge transfer and metacognitive activities at college CS departments and at coding bootcamps.
Keeping CALM: When Distributed Consistency Is Easy
In distributed systems theory, CALM presents a result that delineates the frontier of the possible.
Computing Value of Spatiotemporal Information
We investigate the intrinsic value of location data in the context of strong privacy, where location information is only available from end users via purchase.
Technical Perspective: Progress in Spatial Computing for Flood Prediction
There are few algorithms for multi-flow graphs beyond flow accumulation. The authors of "Flood-Risk Analysis on Terrains" take a big step to fill this knowledge gap.
Flood-Risk Analysis on Terrains
In this paper, we study a number of flood-risk related problems, give an overview of efficient algorithms for them, as well as explore the efficacy and efficiency of these algorithms on real terrains.
Technical Perspective: Computing the Value of Location Data
"Computing Value of Spatiotemporal Information," by Heba Aly et al., describes a technique for computing the monetary value of a person's location data for a potential geo-marketplace.
Brain-to-Brain interfaces give a new meaning to putting our heads together.
Picking Locks with Audio Technology
How eavesdropping smartphones could give thieves a copy of your front door key.
Consumers make better Internet buying decisions when using full-sized PCs.
Closing the ‘Trust Gap’ in Contact Tracing/Exposure Notification Technology
The digitization of contact tracing presents an array of challenges.
Artificial intelligence software can create a video montage from a few typed words.
On the Internet of Medical Things
It is entirely feasible to imagine the Internet of Medical Things with a significant capacity for remote medical diagnosis and triage.
How WWII Was Won, and Why CS Students Feel Unappreciated
John Arquilla considers how code-breaking helped end a war, while Jeremy Roschelle ponders the use of music in data science education.
Chips designed specifically to model the neurons and synapses in the human brain are poised to change computing in profound ways.
Digital Humans on the Big Screen
Motion pictures are using new techniques in computer-generated imagery to create feature-length performances by convincingly "de-aged" actors.
Thorny Problems in Data (-Intensive) Science
Data scientists face challenges spanning academic and non-academic institutions.
To Catch a Failure: The Record-and-Replay Approach to Debugging
A discussion with Robert O'Callahan, Kyle Huey, Devon O'Dell, and Terry Coatta.
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.
