Introducing Communications’ Regional Special Sections
I am pleased to introduce the first regional special section of Communications, which we hope will become a feature that you anticipate and enjoy, and of course value for the insights and perspectives it presents!
Exploiting Psychology and Social Behavior for Game Stickiness
Interactive video games, which support various forms of collaboration and confrontation among gamers, create an obsessive stickiness.
Welcome to the China Region Special Section
We are pleased to present the China Region special section.
Quantum Communication at 7,600km and Beyond
There are two major challenges to achieving secure quantum cryptography over long distances.
Consumers, Corporations, and Government: Computing in China
Unique historical, socioeconomic, and political conditions have created a distinctive path for China's rapid integration of computing and technology into its economy and society.
Cloud Bursting for the World’s Largest Consumer Market
The development and popularization of cloud computing, especially in emerging domains, brings great convenience and also poses new challenges.

Dependency management is a crucial part of system and software design.
Software Challenges for the Changing Storage Landscape
Conventional storage software stacks are unable to meet the needs of high-performance Storage-Class Memory technology. It is time to rethink 50-year-old architectures.
Technical Perspective: Making Sleep Tracking More User Friendly
"LIBS: A Bioelectrical Sensing System from Human Ears for Staging Whole-Night Sleep Study" provides a nice balance in terms of minimizing the burden on users and the granularity at which we can automatically track various measures of sleep.
LIBS: A Bioelectrical Sensing System from Human Ears for Staging Whole-Night Sleep Study
We explore a new form of wearable systems, called LIBS, that can continuously record biosignals such as brain wave, eye movements, and facial muscle contractions, with high sensitivity and reliability.
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.
