Small-scale CAD/CAM tools are among the high-tech capabilities being added to the arsenals of increasingly digital dentists.
Inorganic Growth In Tech: Getting Shredded with Acquisitions
Acquisitions happen quite often in the tech industry and are far more complicated to pull off successfully than popping a pill.
ACE: Toward Application-Centric, Edge-Cloud, Collaborative Intelligence
Constructing a unified platform for the scalable, reliable, robust, and efficient development and deployment of ECCI applications.
Democratizing Domain-Specific Computing
Creating a programming environment and compilation flow that empowers programmers to create their own DSAs efficiently and affordably on FPGAs.
A Linearizability-based Hierarchy for Concurrent Specifications
Two linearizability-style correctness conditions that can be used to argue safety properties of progressively more concurrent behaviors of objects.
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.
A Computer Scientist with a Biologist’s Ambition: Advance Humanity

On the Evolution of Languages: Natural, Mathematical, and Computational
Comparing the evolution of natural languages, which are used by people all over the world, with two artificial languages: the language of mathematics and programing languages.
Researchers identify a security loophole in the wireless standard.
Often, "we do this and then we do that" is just a lazy way of stating "to do that, we must have achieved this."
I am certainly no philosopher, but as I observe the apparent erosion of agreement on factual evidence in our society. Somewhere along the line, critical thinking must be given the stature it deserves.
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.
