Computational Photography Comes Into Focus
Advances in computational photography are making image capture the starting point. The technology is transforming the field.
I have just returned from a trip to Warsaw where I had the opportunity to visit the Copernicus Science Museum. The facility houses an amazing array of interactive exhibits. As I encountered these fascinating experiences, I thought about what we have been able to achieve in the virtual world of computing.

The increasing significance of intermediate representations in compilers.
Replicated Data Consistency Explained Through Baseball
A broader class of consistency guarantees can, and perhaps should, be offered to clients that read shared data.
ACM Multimedia 2013 – Best Papers and the Revision Process
This year ACM Multimedia had a new revision process that may be of interest for other ACM conferences. Let's review it and see also the best papers selection.
Who is responsible when property is damaged or someone is injured by an automated system? Existing product liability laws have not yet been tested in the context of robots.
The competitive nature of AT, the scarcity of expertise, and the vast profits potential, makes for a secretive community where implementation details are difficult to find.
Technical Perspective: Centip3De Demonstrates More Than Moore…
Exponentially increasing transistor integration also demands more interconnections, which have started hitting fundamental limits. The Centip3De design demonstrates two concepts to address this challenge: near-threshold computing, and 3D integration.
Centip3De: A Many-Core Prototype Exploring 3D Integration and Near-Threshold Computing
This paper evaluates the use of three-dimensional integration to reduce global interconnect by adding multiple layers of silicon with vertical connections between them using through-silicon vias.
ACM Multimedia 2013 – The First Day
ACM Multimedia, the foremost conference on multimedia, has started in Barcelona (Spain). Let's see what are some highlights of the first day.
ACM Multimedia 2013 – Challenges and Competitions
The program of ACM Multimedia is very diverse: apart from oral and poster presentations, panels and keynotes there are challenges and competitions. Some may really help your work.
Autonomous Vehicles Roll Forward
Self-driving vehicles will likely provide substantial benefits, and introduce new challenges.
Formal Verification of Phase-Locked Loops Using Reachability Analysis and Continuization
We present a scalable and formal technique to verify locking time and stability for charge-pump phase-locked loops (PLLs).
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.
