Mapping the Privacy Landscape for Central Bank Digital Currencies
Now is the time to shape what future payment flows will reveal about you.
Management and technology challenges of AI-enabled application projects.
We show how to employ functional programming techniques to solve with elegance the challenge of using a high-level language to describe functionality and a separate schedule to specify how the program should be optimized.
Technical Perspective: Reconsidering the Design of User-Schedulable Languages
The breakthrough of "Achieving High Performance the Functional Way," by Bastian Hagedorn et al., is in fundamentally rethinking the design of user-schedulable languages so that decades of wisdom from traditional programming languages can be brought to bear.
Using GitHub CoPilot is Like Having a Superpower
With the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) and tools like GitHub CoPilot, I think we’re a step closer towards a world where software can be created by anyone. In fact, my colleague Brad Myers, who has investigated end-user programming for decades, believes that CoPilot is the biggest change to programming since Google search. I think this may be understating things. We’re going to see a wave of new kinds of software programming tools based on LLMs, and they will be transformative in how developers build and evaluate computer systems.
(Re)Use of Research Results (Is Rampant)
Prior pessimism about reuse in software engineering research may have been a result of using the wrong methods to measure the wrong things.

An examination of how the technology landscape has changed and possible future directions for HPC operations and innovation.
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.
