This report describes the Advanced Test in Computer Science which was recently introduced in the Graduate Record Examination Program. The GRE program is described in general, and, the events leading to the establishment of the Advanced Computer Science Test are discussed. Content specifications and their rationale are given. A set of sample questions is included.
Mxec is a sophisticated computing environment (executive system) which extends and magnifies users' interactions with a computer. Principally, Mxec provides for parallel processing and also assumes many of the mundane, clerical tasks with which users of most systems find themselves burdened. Some of the characteristics of the Mxec system are given, and its motivation and implementation are discussed.
List processing systems should be designed to facilitate production of large programs to manipulate large complex symbolic data stores. This paper presents an overview of a number of system features which the author feels are important to improve the productivity of programmers working in such domains. A systems view is taken, rather than focusing just on language features, since algorithms must be not only coded in a language form, but debugged, modified, made efficient, and run on data. Because of this general framework, the requirements specified are applicable to the design of advanced programming systems for a wide range of applications.
Three aspects of programming systems are highlighted: good interactive facilities, programmable control structures, and sophisticated data communication mechanisms. Interactive features are described to facilitate program composition, entry, testing, debugging, editing, optimization, and packaging. Implementation of a generalized environment structure model specified would allow programming of various control regimes including multiprocesses, coroutines and backtracking. Alternative methods of procedure invocation required include invocation by pattern and by monitoring condition. The need for extended data forms, storage management, and extensibility are stressed, as is the duality of data retrieval and function evaluation. Syntax directed input and output of data would facilitate use of complex data stores.
Volunteers provide ACM with the intellectual and operational muscle power it needs to carry out myriad activities in support of computer science professionals and practitioners around the world.
This course covers how to use advanced techniques for querying a database, query with subqueries, add data to a database, change and delete data from a database, create, alter, and delete tables, and create, use, and delete views. (Duration: 210 minutes)
While these breakthroughs must be considered proofs of concept, they demonstrate the pieces of future quantum datacenters are coming together, says independent analyst Bob Sorensen.
The February 2017 Viewpoints, "Smart Machines Are Not a Threat to Humanity" and "AI Dangers: Imagined and Real," both relied heavily on the lack of direct relevance of Moore's Law.
You have already entered into the new world of .NET programming by using some of the basic features of the C# programming language and the Visual C#.NET integrated development environment inside Visual Studio.NET. Building on the basics, you are now ready to pursue the advanced aspects of Visual C#.NET programming that are introduced in this course. (Duration: 1069 minutes)
After completing this course, you'll be acquainted with WordPerfect settings; creating and editing toolbars; creating, modifying, and using an address book; creating and working with SpeedLinks and comments; working with TextArt and watermarks; working with a master document; and creating a table of contents and an index.
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.
Communications 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.
