In Black Box Algorithms We Trust (or Do We?)
Some issues that arise from the use of algorithms may be due to the data they are fed, rather than their black-box nature.
Taking the first steps toward building a long-range network that can connect super-fast quantum computers, or provide absolutely secure, tamper-free communication.
Cryptocurrencies are enabling illegal or immoral transactions in the dark corners of the Internet.
Researchers are looking for new ways to advance semiconductors as Moore's Law approaches its limits.
Research For Practice: Distributed Transactions and Networks as Physical Sensors
Expert-curated guides to the best of CS research.
Mathematics led Subhash Khot, developer of the unique games conjecture, to computer science without his ever having seen a computer.
Making the Field of Computing More Inclusive
More accessible conferences, digital resources, and ACM SIGs will lead to greater participation by more people with disabilities.
The Path to the Top: Insights from Career Histories of Top CIOs
Along the way, acquire technical expertise and a master's degree, even while changing positions and companies.
Technical Perspective: The Power of Wi-Fi to Deliver Power
The authors of "Powering the Next Billion Devices with Wi-Fi" turn the problem of powering wireless sensor networks on its head. Instead of focusing on energy harvesting, they focus on wireless energy transfer.
Powering the Next Billion Devices with Wi-Fi
We present the first power over Wi-Fi system that delivers power to low-power sensors and devices and works with existing Wi-Fi chipsets.
Technical Perspective: Data Distribution For Fast Joins
What is the most drastic way to reduce the cost of communication for parallel data processing algorithms? This is the question studied in "Reasoning on Data Partitioning for Single-Round Multi-Join Evaluation in Massively Parallel Systems."
Reasoning on Data Partitioning For Single-Round Multi-Join Evaluation in Massively Parallel Systems
We introduce a framework for reasoning about data partitioning to detect when we can avoid the data reshuffling step.
The Slow Evolution of CS For All, The Beauty of Programs
Mark Guzdial considers the steps needed to reach the goal of CS for All, while Robin K. Hill ponders the aesthetics of programming.
Misconceptions About Computer Science
Common misconceptions about computer science hinder professional growth and harm the identity of computing.
I am going way out on a limb in this column into an area where I really know very little but am completely fascinated by what I am learning. The tenuous linkage to our discipline is what I will call programmed cell self-destruction or maybe cell suicide.
Smart Cities Begin To Face Security Concerns
"The attack surface is growing faster than the protections."
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.
