Generation CS: When Undergraduates Realized They Needed Computing
A new Computing Research Association report describes the dramatic influx of undergraduates into computer science classes.
Software Synthesis Learns By Example
Neural networks will assist, rather than replace, human programmers.
Cybersecurity in the Trump Era
Deterrence is simply the wrong way to think about cybersecurity.
In Black Box Algorithms We Trust (or Do We?)
Some issues that arise from the use of algorithms may be due to the data they are fed, rather than their black-box nature.
Taking the first steps toward building a long-range network that can connect super-fast quantum computers, or provide absolutely secure, tamper-free communication.
Cryptocurrencies are enabling illegal or immoral transactions in the dark corners of the Internet.
ACM has recognized 53 of its members as ACM Fellows for major contributions in areas including artificial intelligence, cryptography, computer architecture, high performance computing, and programming languages.

ACM’s Open-Conference Principle and Political Reality
ACM's Open-Conference principle reflects ACM's mission of "advance computing as a science and a profession; enable professional development; and promote policies and research that benefit society." In the past few weeks, however, this principle has been gravely tested.
ACM’s Commitment to Accessibility
As ACM's President, I remain focused on issues of diversity. I would like to highlight two key aspects of accessibility already being addressed by ACM. The first is digital accessibility; the second is conference accessibility.
The Slow Evolution of CS For All, The Beauty of Programs
Mark Guzdial considers the steps needed to reach the goal of CS for All, while Robin K. Hill ponders the aesthetics of programming.
