I became Editor-in-Chief of Communications of the ACM to make the magazine again the forum where the computer science community shares its most important results.
I am delighted to be joining Communications as a chair for the Viewpoints section. I hope to stir some vigorous debate about the impact of computing for both good and ill, about how the ACM community itself functions, and about its role in society more broadly.
Exploring Questions and Answers in Computer Science Education
We embrace the broader vision of Communications as a place the computing community can come to stay abreast of areas other than its own and are excited to make computing education a part of that vision.
