We Are Not Users: Gaining Control Over New Technologies
Seeking a more selective approach to technology usage.
Inferring and Improving Street Maps with Data-Driven Automation
Automatic map inference, data refinement, and machine-assisted map editing promises more accurate map datasets.
Industry experiences on the data challenges of AI and the call for a data ecosystem for industrial enterprises.
Technical Perspective: Finding the Sweet Spot Amid Accuracy and Performance
"Multi-Itinerary Optimization as Cloud Service," by Alexandru Cristian et al., makes accessible an end-to-end cloud service that produces traffic-aware, real-time dispatching of agents under complex constraints.
Technical Perspective: On Proofs, Entanglement, and Games
"MIP* = RE," by Zhengfeng Ji et al., studies quantum interactive proofs.
An obsessive gamer's quest for the absolutely most significant computer ever.
In this work, we study a fourth modification to the notion of efficient verification that originates in the study of quantum entanglement.
Multi-Itinerary Optimization as Cloud Service
We describe multi-itinerary optimization, a novel Bing Maps service that automates the process of building itineraries for multiple agents while optimizing their routes to minimize travel time or distance.
Algorithms can have a devastating impact on people's lives, especially if they already are struggling economically.
Remaining Connected Throughout Design
Applying the unique experiences of designing technologies for vulnerable communities.
Software Development in Disruptive Times
Creating a software solution with fast decision capability, agile project management, and extreme low-code technology.
Finding the Art in Systems Conversions, Naming
Doug Meil considers a third distinct type of development, while Mario Antoine Aoun ponders alternate names for ACM.
Non-Fungible Tokens and the Future of Art
A new blockchain-based technology is changing how the art world works, and changing how we think about asset ownership in the process.
Security Done Right Can Make Smart Cities Wise
Seeking security improvements for smart cities.
Exploring Ellen Ullman's 'Close to the Machine' and AMC's 'Halt and Catch Fire.'

The Future Is Big Graphs: A Community View on Graph Processing Systems
Ensuring the success of big graph processing for the next decade and beyond.
Technical Perspective: Does Your Experiment Smell?
"PlanAlyzer," by Emma Tosch et al., details PlanAlyzer software, the first tool to statically check the validity of online experiments.
PlanAlyzer: Assessing Threats to the Validity of Online Experiments
We present the first approach for checking the internal validity of online experiments statically, that is, from code alone.
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.
