Is Persistent Memory Persistent?
A simple and inexpensive test of failure-atomic update mechanisms.
Investigating student knowledge transfer and metacognitive activities at college CS departments and at coding bootcamps.
Improving Social Alignment During Digital Transformation
Exploring what leaders can do to improve and sustain social alignment over time.
Keeping CALM: When Distributed Consistency Is Easy
In distributed systems theory, CALM presents a result that delineates the frontier of the possible.
Computing Value of Spatiotemporal Information
We investigate the intrinsic value of location data in the context of strong privacy, where location information is only available from end users via purchase.
Technical Perspective: Progress in Spatial Computing for Flood Prediction
There are few algorithms for multi-flow graphs beyond flow accumulation. The authors of "Flood-Risk Analysis on Terrains" take a big step to fill this knowledge gap.
Flood-Risk Analysis on Terrains
In this paper, we study a number of flood-risk related problems, give an overview of efficient algorithms for them, as well as explore the efficacy and efficiency of these algorithms on real terrains.
Technical Perspective: Computing the Value of Location Data
"Computing Value of Spatiotemporal Information," by Heba Aly et al., describes a technique for computing the monetary value of a person's location data for a potential geo-marketplace.
Brain-to-Brain interfaces give a new meaning to putting our heads together.
Artificial intelligence software can create a video montage from a few typed words.
How WWII Was Won, and Why CS Students Feel Unappreciated
John Arquilla considers how code-breaking helped end a war, while Jeremy Roschelle ponders the use of music in data science education.
Thorny Problems in Data (-Intensive) Science
Data scientists face challenges spanning academic and non-academic institutions.
To Catch a Failure: The Record-and-Replay Approach to Debugging
A discussion with Robert O'Callahan, Kyle Huey, Devon O'Dell, and Terry Coatta.
Digital Creativity Support for Original Journalism
A tool that helps journalists discover new story angles by offering insight not search results.
Why Computing Belongs Within the Social Sciences
Fully appreciating the overarching scope of CS requires weaving more than ethics into the reigning curricula.
Threats of a Replication Crisis in Empirical Computer Science
Research replication only works if there is confidence built into the results.
Technical Perspective: Entity Matching with Magellan
Magellan's key insight is that a successful entity matching system must offer a versatile system building paradigm for entity matching that can be easily adapted for different application needs.
Magellan: Toward Building Ecosystems of Entity Matching Solutions
Entity matching can be viewed as a special class of data science problems and thus can benefit from system building ideas in data science.
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.
