What Every Engineer and Computer Scientist Should Know: The Biggest Contributor to Happiness
Seeking the fundamental factors instrumental to happiness.
When Curation Becomes Creation
Algorithms, microcontent, and the vanishing distinction between platforms and creators.
After decades of incentivizing the isolation of hardware, software, and algorithm development, the catalysts for closer collaboration are changing the paradigm.
Digital Agriculture for Small-Scale Producers: Challenges and Opportunities
Smart Farming with technologies such as IoT, computer vision, and AI can improve agricultural efficiency, transparency, profitability, and equity for farmers in low-and middle-income countries.
AI-CHD: An AI-Based Framework for Cost-Effective Surgical Telementoring of Congenital Heart Disease
3D heart modeling and AI bring new cardiac surgery to remote and less-developed regions.
Documentation to facilitate communication between dataset creators and consumers.
Software-Defined Cooking Using a Microwave Oven
We present software-defined cooking (SDC), a low-cost closed-loop microwave oven system that aims to heat food in a software-defined thermal trajectory.
Technical Perspective: Cooking Up a Solution to Microwave Heat Distribution
"Software-Defined Cooking Using a Microwave Oven," by Haojian Jin et al., introduces a feedback mechanism to microwave heating through a technique the authors call software-defined cooking.
Computing is an endless frontier in which we have an unending supply of new problems to confront in the search for new solutions.
Seeking Out Camille, and Being Open to Others
Robin K. Hill on overcoming biases against alternative views, and Carlos Baquero on his search for the elusive Camille Noûs.
Errors and biases in artificial intelligence systems often reflect the data used to train them.
What Is the Cost of Living Online?
The cost of powering streaming and other rapidly growing online services will not "take down the Internet."
Charging computer scientists to develop the science needed to best achieve the performance and cost goals of accelerator-level parallelism hardware and software.
Apple’s Plan to Scan Handset Images Stopped Before It Started
When Apple announced its plan to scan iCloud Photos for child pornography, privacy groups were quick to condemn it.
Hybrid systems enhance the capabilities of electronics with biologics.
Hybrid Models for Legacy Modernization in Digital Transformation Programs
There is now a greater need to move away from legacy technologies than ever before.
Crowdsourced Cybersecurity: Hunting for Bugs
Companies offer big money to 'white-hat hackers' to find flaws in software products before the black hats do.
Reinforcing Computer Science Education
What do computer science students need to know to be successful in industry?
The Paradox of Choice in Computing-Research Conferences
The current computing-research publication system conflates research publishing with community building. We may need in-person conferences for community building, but not so many!
Assessing Internet Software Engineering, Encouraging Competitions
Andrei Sukhov considers the potential for reducing international tensions through competitive events, while Vivek S. Buzruk looks at the evolution of teaching Internet software engineering.
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.
