How liable should programmers be for the quality of their software?
Discussing Empirical Answers to Questions of Software Engineering
Focusing on what helps software developers.
A Software Architect Is the Person You Blame
How efficient is your current software project, and could it potentially benefit from the addition of a software architect?
Making Machine Learning Robust Against Adversarial Inputs
Such inputs distort how machine-learning-based systems are able to function in the world as it is.
Always Measure One Level Deeper
Performance measurements often go wrong, reporting surface-level results that are more marketing than science.
How the Hippies Destroyed the Internet
Communism is the most famous 20th-century attempt to build market-free economies. It required coercion on a colossal scale. The Internet is the second major attempt to build a market-free economy, limited to information.
Today's programmers offer more valuable skills than simply being able to hack algorithms and make data structures, says Yegor Bugayenko.
Bringing the Internet to the (Developing) World
A growing number of low-cost (and free!) solutions aim to open the Internet to developing regions.
Open Source Professionals in Demand
An "increasingly open source world" needs specialists in Linux and other open source technologies.
"Citizen Developers" can create new applications via low-code development.
Effectiveness of Anonymization in Double-Blind Review
Assessing the effectiveness of anonymization in the review process.
Privacy in Decentralized Cryptocurrencies
When it comes to anonymizing cryptocurrencies, one size most definitely does not fit all.
Bias in Web data and use taints the algorithms behind Web-based applications, delivering equally biased results.
Identifying Patterns in Medical Records through Latent Semantic Analysis
Text analysis can reveal patterns of association among medical terms and medical codes.
Designing Cluster Schedulers for Internet-Scale Services
Embracing failures for improving availability.
Technical Perspective: Measuring Optimization Potential with Coz
In "Coz: Finding Code that Counts with Causal Profiling," Curtsinger and Berger describe causal profiling, which tell programmers exactly how much speed-up bang to expect for their optimization buck.
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.
