SONYC integrates sensors, machine listening, data analytics, and citizen science to address noise pollution in New York City.
Blockchains From a Distributed Computing Perspective
The roots of blockchain technologies are deeply interwoven in distributed computing.
Separation logic is a key development in formal reasoning about programs, opening up new lines of attack on longstanding problems.
A stab at a definition, for outsiders, of what we in computing mean by the term "variable" raises more questions than it answers.
Digital forensics seeks evidence in stored digital information; it's not as easy as it sounds.
Rogue Drone Pilots Face A New Foe: Deep Learning AI
A growing number of counter-drone systems look to overwhelm rogue drones, and find their pilots.
ACM delivers the TechNews computer science and technology newsletter to more than 100,000 ACM members three times each week.

Open Collaboration in an Age of Distrust
We are manifestly in a new era of international relations—"An Age of Distrust"—where the trend toward increased trade and integration has stalled, if not reversed.
Innovation for Jobs (i4j.info) recently published a book describing a new, people-centered view of work. Rather than organizing work around tasks, the idea is to organize work around people and their skills.
Are We Having An Ethical Crisis in Computing?
The computing field seems to be going through another image crisis these days. Many view this as an ethical crisis. I am dubious of the diagnosis.
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.
