Testing Object-Oriented Industrial Software Without Precise Oracles or Results
TACCLE tests an automated assembly system in which the expected outcomes cannot be precisely defined and the actual results cannot be directly observed.
Privacy-Enhanced Personalization
Multi-pronged strategies are needed to reconcile the tension between personalization and privacy.
Corporate Governance of IT: A Framework For Development
Boards of directors are beginning to look beyond the accounting roots of IT governance toward the risk of legal liability and harm to product brand and corporate reputation.
Collaborative Structuring: Organizing Document Repositories Effectively and Efficiently
Improving how documents are managed and data is storedand exchanged in systems.
A Roadmap For Comprehensive Online Privacy Policy Management
A framework supporting the privacy policy life cycle helps guide the kind of research to consider before sound privacy answers may be realized.
Games For Science and Engineering Education
Video games can teach science and engineering better than lectures. Are they a cure for a numbing 200-person class?
Like a discovery game that requires players to earn the right to take on new challenges, Immune Attack compels its players to learn the rules of the immune system before it reveals deeper biological insight.
Using Storytelling to Motivate Programming
Using the Storytelling Alice programming environment to create computer-animated movies inspires middle school girls' interest in learning to program computers.
DARPA simulations teach habits of thought so soldiers respond on the first day of combat as if they had been there a week. More often than not, it's don't shoot, talk instead.
The same technology that makes interactive 3D games so entertaining in the physical action domain is just as effective in education, training, and other more serious applications.
Examining RFID Applications in Supply Chain Management
Technology infrastructure, business process, and managerial issues must be addressed by IT practitioners as they adapt to the business changes associated with the diffusion of RFID technology in the supply chain.
Evaluating the Efficacy of a Terrorism Question/Answer System
The TARA Project examined how a trio of modified chatterbots could be used to disseminate terrorism-related information to the general public.
The Effects of Web-Based Technologies on Knowledge Transfer
Does using enhanced Web-based services increase problem-solving skills?
Real-Time Sound Synthesis and Propagation For Games
Simulating the complete process of sound synthesis and propagation by exploiting aural perception makes the experience of playing games much more realistic and immersive.
Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center: Combining the Left and Right Brain
This professional master's degree program puts artists and technologists together on interdisciplinary teams to create interactive experiences.
A Knowledge Architecture For IT Security
The major benefits of knowledge management, particularly as it pertains to security measures, makes it critical that organizations have a mechanism for defining and identifying knowledge needs.
Automatic and Versatile Publications Ranking For Research Institutions and Scholars
Assessing both academic and industrial research institutions, along with their scholars, can help identify the best organizations and individuals in a given discipline. Assessment can reveal outstanding institutions and scholars, allowing students and researchers to better decide where they want to study or work and allowing employers to recruit the most qualified potential employees. These assessments can also assist both internal and external administrators in making influential decisions; for example, funding, promotion, and compensation.
Time to Rethink Health Care and ICT?
Success for a new U.K. national health care system depends on clinical context and scale, along with the capacity to emphasize interpersonal communication.
The Four Incremental Steps Toward Advanced Mobile Service Adoption
Exploring mobile device user adoption patterns and market segmentation.
An Empirical Investigation of the Effectiveness of Systems Modeling and Verification Tools
One reason system failure rates are not deterred by the latest best practices and tools may lie in how needs are (mis)interpreted by designers and users.
DNSSEC: A Protocol Toward Securing the Internet Infrastructure
DNSSEC is properly understood as a component in an ecology of security protocols and measures.
Design Patterns For Managing Product Life Cycle Information
Agent-based architectures, taking queues from object-oriented programming, can make product information accessible in controlled ways over the Net.
Evolution and Emerging Issues in Mobile Wireless Networks
Assessing the widespread deployment and increasing use of mobile services.
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.
