Quantum computers will only become practical when they implement quantum error correction.
The Cloud as an Innovation Platform for Software Development
How cloud computing became a platform.
How Might We Increase System Trustworthiness?
Summarizing some of the changes that seem increasingly necessary to address known system and network deficiencies and anticipate currently unknown vulnerabilities.
Unlocking Data to Improve Public Policy
When properly secured, anonymized, and optimized for research, administrative data can be put to work to help government programs better serve those in need.
Sampling-Based Robot Motion Planning
To address the computational challenges that arise when planning for robotic systems, traditional CS algorithms, tools, and paradigms must be revisited.
Protein Design by Provable Algorithms
Protein design algorithms can leverage provable guarantees of accuracy to provide new insights and unique optimized molecules.
Building Certified Concurrent OS Kernels
In this work, we present CertiKOS, a novel compositional framework for building verified concurrent OS kernels.
Sabotage-resistant industrial machinery combats Stuxnet-like attacks.
Hacking the Smart Home via the Internet of Things
A group of researchers uncovered implementation flaws in Internet of Things devices.
Brain-computer interfaces, like so much else, may be migrating to the cloud.
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.
