Navigating the ethical and societal impacts of technologies.
The Limits of Differential Privacy (and Its Misuse in Data Release and Machine Learning)
Differential privacy is not a silver bullet for all privacy problems.
Always-on Time-Series Database: Keeping Up Where There's No Way to Catch Up
A discussion with Theo Schlossnagle, Justin Sheehy, and Chris McCubbin.
Flexible Work and Personal Digital Infrastructures
PDIs are emerging as alternative sociotechnical infrastructures to enhance flexible work arrangments.
Understanding NoSQL Database Types: Key Value
Of all non-relationals, the key-value store is by far the most popular due to its extreme simplicity.
I take a peek at the history of computing to see if pioneering early developments were the results of team effort.
The Art Of Speedy Systems Conversions
System conversions represent a type of development in which project scope includes all the effort of an initial software release, plus an entirely new set of complexities.
Understanding NoSQL Database Types: Document
Document databases are particularly useful in app development.
CoCoPIE: Enabling Real-Time AI on Off-the-Shelf Mobile Devices via Compression-Compilation Co-Design
A new framework allows intelligence on mainstream end devices without special hardware.
On the Requirements Engineer Role
The requirements engineer role is defined differently within most organizations.
Shaping the Foundations of Programming Languages
ACM A.M. Turing Award recipients Alfred Aho and Jeffrey Ullman discuss their early work, the 'Dragon Book,' and the future of 'live' computer science education.
The Search for Unlimited Productivity
Doug Meil considers the continuing search for the next great software development methodology.
2020 ACM A.M. Turing Award recipients Alfred Aho and Jeffrey Ullman helped develop formal language theory, invented efficient algorithms to drive the tasks of a compiler, and put them all together in 'The Dragon Book.'
The Risks of Election Believability (or Lack Thereof)
With 90% of the 2020 U.S. general election ballot contents verifiable by paper, why do only 65% of voters trust the results?
Code needs to run anywhere as long as the necessary dependencies can be resolved.
Collusion Rings Threaten the Integrity of Computer Science Research
Experiences discovering attempts to subvert the peer-review process.
Is 5G Opening Security Holes in the Internet of Things?
The new 5G networks increase hacker access to the Internet of Things.
Understanding NoSQL Database Types: Column
The elements of one of the most used and popular data designs around.
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.
