Association
for Computing Machinery Advancing Computing as a Science & Profession
We
see a global where computing facilitates clear up day after today’s issues – in
which we use our information and capabilities to strengthen the career and make
a fine effect.
ACM
has named Keshav Pingali, the W.A. ”Tex” Moncrief Chair of Grid and Distributed
Computing at the University of Texas at Austin, because the recipient of the
2023 ACM-IEEE CS Ken Kennedy Award. The Ken Kennedy Award acknowledges
groundbreaking achievements in parallel and excessive-overall performance
computing. Pingali is stated for contributions to high-performance parallel
computing for irregular algorithms together with graph algorithms. The award
will be officially supplied to Pingali in November at The International
Conference for High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
(SC23).
ACM
Transactions on Evolutionary Learning and Optimization (TELO) has been everyday
for Scopus coverage. Similar to Web of Science, Scopus is an extensive but
selective summary and citation database that provides complete coverage of
peer-reviewed journals, books, conference abstracts, and patents throughout the
herbal sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. By having its content
included in Scopus, TELO’s content material may be discoverable at 7,000 of the
world’s pinnacle research establishments.
The
journals of ACM yet again had an impressive displaying in the modern day
Journal Citation Reports release from Clarivate, with top notch performances
across the entire portfolio and fifteen journals receiving their first impact
factors—inclusive of 4 titles from the revolutionary Proceedings of the ACM
(PACM) software. ACM's flagship mag Communications of the ACM (CACM) endured
its dominance through receiving an all-time excessive effect aspect of 22.7,
placing it first in all 3 of its categories, and ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR)
which continued to ascend with an effect thing of sixteen.6, setting it 1/3
within the Computer Science, Theory & Methods category.
ACM
has made the selection to quit print publication for ACM’s journals and
transactions as of January 2024. There were several motivations for this
change: ACM wants to be as environmentally friendly as possible; print journals
lack the brand new functions and functionality of the digital versions inside
the ACM Digital Library; and print subscriptions, which have been declining for
years, have now reached a level where the time became proper to sundown print.

The
2023 Heidelberg Laureate Forum connected younger researchers and different
participants with scientific pioneers to find out how the laureates made it to
the top in their fields, bringing together some of the brightest minds in
mathematics and laptop technology for an unrestrained, interdisciplinary
change. This year, 22 ACM A.M. Turing Award and ACM Prize in Computing
recipients participated in numerous engaging panel discussions and spark
sessions as well as delivering key lectures. You can now view them in
conjunction with many others thru the 2023 HLF YouTube channel.
Why
do communities count number? Why ought to you spend time and energy on
fostering a community in your field? In latest years, many tasks were released
aimed toward empowering underrepresented groups by using creating groups. To
celebrate Hispanic-Latino Heritage Month, the ACM DEI Council invited moderator
Patti Ordóñez, Daniel Acuña, Stephanie Ludi, and Carlos R. Rivero to share
their journeys as computing experts, well known their influences, and talk the
advantages and challenges of building alliances in the panel "Communities
Matter: Celebrating Hispanic-Latino Alliances in Computing."
In
a main step in its transition to completely Open Access (OA) guide of all
content material on the ACM Digital Library, ACM will transition the
International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS) to a totally OA publishing
version from January 2024. In the new model, all ICPS papers could be made OA
upon ebook, and existing ICPS papers could be converted to OA. Some authors who
are not at ACM Open establishments will be required to pay Article Processing
Charges (APCs). The model will observe to all meetings for which the Call for
Papers may be issued on or after January 1, 2024.

TechBriefs is a sequence of short technical announcements by using ACM’s
Technology Policy Council that present scientifically-grounded views on the
effect of precise traits or packages of technology. Designed to supplement
ACM’s activities in the coverage arena, the number one intention is to inform
in place of advise for particular rules. He new version is focused at the
speedy commercialization of generative AI (GenAI) posing multiple massive-scale
dangers to people, society, and the planet which requires a fast, across the
world coordinated reaction to mitigate.
To
help make experience of the many and multiplying efforts to coordinate destiny
"GenAI" coverage and governance around the globe, ACM's Technology
Policy Council is thrilled to give "Artificial Intelligence, Real
Regulation: International Perspectives and Prospects" on October 19, 2023
at 12:00 pm EDT, the present day in its HotTopics webinar series. Register now
for “Artificial Intelligence, Real Regulation: International Perspectives and
Prospects” on October 19, 2023 at 12 pm EDT (4 pm UTC) to sign up for what
promises to be a fascinating discussion between moderator Michel
Beaudouin-Lafon, panelists Dame Wendy Hall, Juha Heikkila, and Marc Rotenberg,
and target market participants.
In
reaction to fundamental advances in generative AI technologies—as well as the
considerable questions those technologies pose in regions together with
highbrow belongings, the destiny of work, and even human safety—ACM's
international Technology Policy Council (TPC) has issued "Principles for
the Development, Deployment, and Use of Generative AI Technologies."
Drawing at the deep technical expertise of pc scientists in the United States
and Europe, the TPC assertion outlines eight concepts intended to foster
truthful, accurate, and useful decision-making regarding generative and all
other AI technology.

this newsletter from the October 2023 trouble of Communications of the ACM,
Michael Seymour, et al. Take a look beyond the idea of "Deep Fakes"
and into the sector of "Digital Humans." Within the subsequent five
years, the manner we paintings, stay, play, and examine might be modified by
means of digital people (chatbots and avatars with very sensible human faces).
Digital human beings are already gaining reputation as social media
influencers, and they will soon evolve into virtual income assistants, style
advisers, and private consumers capable of model how clients will appearance
and move in the cutting-edge ensembles. What does the destiny hold for these AI
entities and the actual international they are able to affect?
Dramatic
advances in the capability to gather, shop, and manner data have led to the
fast increase of records science and its mushrooming effect on nearly all
aspects of the economic system and society. Data science has also had a large
impact on educational disciplines with new studies agendas, new degrees, and
organizational entities. Recognizing the complexity and impact of the sphere,
Alfred Spector, Peter Norvig, Chris Wiggins, and Jeannette Wing have completed
a new textbook on information technological know-how, Data Science in Context:
Foundations, Challenges, Opportunities, published in October 2022. With deep and diverse revel in in each
research and practice, throughout academia, authorities, and industry, the
authors gift a holistic view of what is needed to use statistics science
properly.
ACM
Queue’s "Research for Practice" serves up expert-curated publications

challenges that software program engineers face every day. In this installment,
"OS Scheduling," Kostis Kaffes, incoming Assistant Professor at
Columbia University and software engineer at SystemsResearch@Google, offers his
tackle higher scheduling rules for modern-day computing structures specializing
in a trio of papers. The first paper demanding situations the putative tradeoff
among low latency and high utilization. The 2d enables the introduction of
arbitrary scheduling regulations via factoring apart the creation and
manipulation of coverage. And the very last choice addresses the selection of
policy on an software-by-utility foundation.
