From Quantum Computing to Quantum Communications
Attempting to disentangle mechanical principles.
Are Software Updates Useless against Advanced Persistent Threats?
Considering the conundrum of software updates.
The end of classical computer science is coming, and most of us are dinosaurs waiting for the meteor to hit.
The AI Ethicist’s Dirty Hands Problem
Attempting to balance sometimes-conflicting interests.
Research for Practice: Crash Consistency
Keeping data safe in the presence of crashes is a fundamental problem.
Can Transaction Costs Explain Scale-Free Networks Born by Preferential Attachment?
Centralization leads to more efficient communication and control, which leads to lower transaction costs, which increases the useful work each node can spend on core non-communication tasks.
The Context Problem in Artificial Intelligence
The artificial intelligence design challenge of teaming humans and machines is difficult because machines cannot read the context of use.

Discovering a hidden chapter in computing history.
Research for Practice: Convergence
The return of a popular feature that shares the joy and utility of reading CS research between academics and their counterparts in industry.
Business, entertainment, and fashion companies already are staking their claims in this enhanced virtual world.
Reliability at Multiple Stages in a Data Analysis Pipeline
Data-centric methods designed to increase end-to-end reliability of data-driven decision systems.
Technical Perspective: The Power of Low-Power GPS Receivers for Nanosats
The work explored in "Hummingbird," by Sujay Narayana et al., focuses on the energy consumption of a typical GPS receiver and its operational challenges in a nanosat setting.
Hummingbird: An Energy-Efficient GPS Receiver for Small Satellites
In this work, we elucidate the design of a low-cost, low-power GPS receiver for small satellites.
Data Platforms and Network Effects
How data-network effects create opportunities and inflate expectations.
We must extend our model of computation to account for cost and location.
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.
