Automation that helps doctors perform surgery also will help them learn to be better surgeons.
ACM is under significant pressure to move from a subscription-based to an open access publishing model. Such a transition is exceedingly challenging and would threaten ACM's financial viability, a risk that must be taken seriously.
Continuous Delivery Sounds Great, but Will It Work Here?
It's not magic, it just requires continuous, daily improvement at all levels.
The DevOps methodology has come of age in the past several years, and organizations are adopting key DevOps practices to transform their software practices.

Smart Internet-based infrastructure is one thing but will be ignored without the public's continuing engagement.
Lessons from Building Static Analysis Tools at Google
For a static analysis project to succeed, developers must feel they benefit from and enjoy using it.
Realizing the Potential of Data Science
Data science promises new insights, helping transform information into knowledge that can drive science and industry.
Learning Topic Models – Provably and Efficiently
This article shows that some new theoretical algorithms that have provable guarantees can be adapted to yield highly practical tools for topic modeling.
Chips for Artificial Intelligence
Companies are racing to develop hardware that more directly empowers deep learning.
Computational theorists prove there is no easy algorithm to find Nash equilibria, so game theory will have to look in new directions.
Two teams, blue and red, play a game in which Red has a submarine we call October, as in Tom Clancy's novel The Hunt for Red October.
Bootstrap World has developed online courses in programming, among other subjects, but what makes Bootstrap World so memorable for me is that the team has focused heavily on accessibility.
