Lawmakers Seek to Expand Repair Options
End-users want to be able to repair their expensive electronics; manufacturers disagree.
Researchers are working to imbue computing devices with sophisticated object recognition and tactile capabilities that could take computer sensing to an entirely new level.
Solid-State Batteries to Support the Growth of Iot
Compared to lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries don't have the potential to burn or explode, and they can recharge via energy harvesting.
The drive to make electronic devices more situationally, contextually aware of their environments.
Chipmakers are exploring what comes after they reach the predicted limits of integrated circuit density, complexity.
Exploiting Vector Instructions with Generalized Stream Fusion
Programmers should not have to sacrifice code clarity or good software engineering practices to obtain performance. This work shows how to attain this goal for high-level Haskell in the domain of sequence-processing functions.
Technical Perspective: Functional Compilers
"Exploiting Vector Instructions with Generalized Stream Fusion" points out that stream fusion by itself is not well suited for generating bulk instructions such as vector or SIMD instructions.
DeepDive: Declarative Knowledge Base Construction
We describe DeepDive, a system that combines database and machine learning ideas to help to develop knowledge base construction systems.
Technical Perspective: Building Knowledge Bases from Messy Data
"DeepDive: Declarative Knowledge Base Construction" is a prime example of groundbreaking work in the area of Knowledge Base Construction.
Modern applications are increasingly using probabilistic machine-learned models.
The fuzzer is for those edge cases that your testing did not catch.
Expert-curated guides to the best of CS research.
Void safety, says Bertrand Meyer, relies on type declarations and static analysis.
Supercomputers will sift massive amounts of data in search of therapies that work.
Developers of innovative assistive devices compete as a means of networking with each other.
2009 ACM Prize recipient Eric Brewer, 2004 ACM A.M. Turing Award co-recipient Vint Cerf, 2016–2017 Athena Lecturer Jennifer Rexford, ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award recipient Martin Casado, ACM Fellows Nick Feamster and Jim Kurose, and ACM member George Roussos discuss the Internet of Things.
Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning are motivating researchers to design and build new chips to support different computing models.
The Anonymization Debate Should Be About Risk, Not Perfection
Focusing on the process of anonymity rather than pursuing the unattainable goal of guaranteed safety.
User attitudes toward online intellectual property reveal how far social norms have strayed from legal notions of ownership.
Responsible Research and Innovation in the Digital Age
RRI requires doing the best science for the world, not only the best science in the world.
Exploring the basic game theory models of contests found in online services.
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.
