U.S. States Must Broaden Participation While Expanding Access to Computer Science Education
Incorporating equity and inclusion in the effort toward access for everyone.
SATURN: An Introduction to the Internet of Materials
We propose an Internet of Materials, where the very materials of objects and surfaces are augmented or manufactured to have computational capabilities.
Technical Perspective: The Future of Large-Scale Embedded Sensing
The system described in "SATURN: An Introduction to the Internet of Materials" works passively, energized essentially by static electricity generated as layers move relative to each other during vibration.
Federated Learning for Privacy-Preserving AI
Engineering and algorithmic framework to ensure data privacy and user confidentiality.
Security Analysis of SMS as a Second Factor of Authentication
The challenges of multifactor authentication based on SMS, including cellular security deficiencies, SS7 exploits, and SIM swapping.
Creating efficiency in AI research will decrease its carbon footprint and increase its inclusivity as deep learning study should not require the deepest pockets.
Technical Perspective: XNOR-Networks – Powerful but Tricky
How to produce a convolutional neural net that is small enough to run on a mobile device, and accurate enough to be worth using? The strategies in "Enabling AI at the Edge with XNOR-Networks" are the best known to date.
Enabling AI at the Edge with XNOR-Networks
We present a novel approach to running state-of-the-art AI algorithms in edge devices, and propose two efficient approximations to standard convolutional neural networks.
Why Great Programmers Pull Back the Curtain While Programming
Want to be a great programmer? If so, you have to pull back the curtain and learn how software really works. A deeper understanding helps programmers further their skills and knowledge. And that can pay off for years to come.
Here’s Why Resentment is the Key to Happiness
Do you find happiness to be fleeting? That shiny new car or big job promotion makes you happy for a few weeks but quickly turns into the same old same old? Maybe resentment is the key to happiness... Let me explain why.
What Should Be Done About Social Media?
One of the most basic and urgent policy questions is how to tackle the rising role of social media in our public sphere.
The special section on Latin America highlights the excellent level of research in computer science that flourishes in the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries in the region.
Bringing Industry Back to Conferences, and Paying for Results
David Patterson wants to boost industry submissions to conferences, while Yegor Bugayenko suggests productivity should govern coders' pay when they work from home.
Terahertz Networks Move Closer to Reality
The desire for faster, higher-frequency wireless networking is a constant. Terahertz technology could deliver large gains.
Seeking Artificial Common Sense
The long-standing goal of providing artificial intelligence some measure of common sense remains elusive.
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.
