The Challenge of Crafting Intelligible Intelligence
To trust the behavior of complex AI algorithms, especially in mission-critical settings, they must be made intelligible.
Heterogeneous Von Neumann/Dataflow Microprocessors
This work studies the potential of a paradigm of heterogeneous execution models by developing a specialization engine for explicit-dataflow (SEED) and integrating it with a standard out-of-order (OOO) core.
Countering the Negative Image of Women in Computing
A positive image would inspire the capable but underrepresented who might otherwise give up on computing.
The Limit of Blockchains: Infeasibility of a Smart Obama-Trump Contract
Although smart contracts are Turing complete, it is a misconception that they can fulfill all routine contracts.
Technical Perspective: Compressing Matrices for Large-Scale Machine Learning
Demand for more powerful big data analytics solutions has spurred the development of novel programming models, abstractions, and platforms. "Scaling Machine Learning via Compressed Linear Algebra" seeks to address many of these challenges by applying database ideas.
Compressed Linear Algebra for Declarative Large-Scale Machine Learning
General-purpose compression struggles to achieve both good compression ratios and fast decompression for blockwise uncompressed operations. Therefore, we introduce Compressed Linear Algebra for lossless matrix compression.
HiPEAC: A European Network Built to Last
High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation (HiPEAC) has grown from 70 to 2,000 computing specialists in the last 15 years, including 200 from industry, making it the largest such network in the world.
Neural Algorithms and Computing Beyond Moore’s Law
Advances in neurotechnologies are reigniting opportunities to bring neural computation insights into broader computing applications.
Cyber Security in the Quantum Era
Quantum systems will significantly affect the field of cyber security research.
New European Data Privacy and Cyber Security Laws: One Year Later
Two landmark pieces of legislation taking effect in Europe this year represent a major shift in the European industry's approach to privacy and security compliance.
Enterprises Lead ICT Innovation in Europe
Europe's tech ecosystem is renewing itself: $3.5 billion was invested in so-called deep tech companies in 2017 across more than 600 deals, up from $2.5 billion in 2016.
Welcome to the Europe Region Special Section
Europe provides a unique environment for the development of a distinctive computing landscape. You will see this reflected in the Europe Region Special Section.
With an aging population and a shrinking workforce, Europe needs to tap artificial intelligence, 5G wireless connectivity, quantum computing, and other ICT technologies that could drive the next step change in productivity.
A Demographic Snapshot of the IT Workforce in Europe
The number of ICT specialists in the EU workforce has grown over 36% in the last 10 years. This increase helps explain why ICT employment has resisted the effects of the region's overall financial crisis.
Incorporating Europe’s Values in Future Research
Increasing digitalization and automation, growing globalization, and improved financial durability offer many excellent opportunities for development.
Europe’s Well-Connected Consumers
Europeans have mixed feelings about the direction in which ICT is headed.
ACM Europe Council’s Best Paper Awards
The ACM Europe Council's Best Paper Awards recognize authors of outstanding technical contributions to ACM-sponsored conferences held in Europe.
Web Science in Europe: Beyond Boundaries
There is increasing concern in Europe—and beyond—that the Web has become a vehicle of disintegration, polarization, and exploitation. Web Science seeks to investigate, analyze, and intervene in the Web from a sociotechnical perspective.
Informatics as a Fundamental Discipline for the 21st Century
Informatics should be recognized by all as a truly foundational discipline that plays a significant role in education for the 21st century.
The European Perspective on Responsible Computing
Europe is at the forefront of the regulation and reflections on digital systems through its institutional bodies.
Women Are Needed in STEM: European Policies and Incentives
In Europe, gender balance in research and innovation is understood as a social justice and equality issue.
Toward a European Exascale Ecosystem: The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking
European supercomputing infrastructures represent a strategic resource for understanding and responding to the increasing challenges European citizens will face in the years to come.
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.
