OPEN CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR PRESIDENTIAL TASK FORCES
ACM seeks volunteers to serve on Presidential Task Forces focusing on a range of
issues facing ACM from ACM’s membership models to Open Science. ACM President
Yannis Ioannidis plans to create 10 task forces as part of ACM 4.0, a long-term
strategic plan for ACM. Each task force will comprise a cross-section of
individuals selected for their interest and relevant expertise. To learn more
about each task force and how to volunteer, visit the Open Call webpage. Please
reply to this call for volunteers by May 22.

INVENTORS OF BW-TRANSFORM AND THE FM-INDEX RECEIVE KANELLAKIS AWARD
Michael Burrows, Google; Paolo Ferragina, University of Pisa; and Giovanni
Manzini, University of Pisa, receive the ACM Paris Kanellakis Theory and
Practice Award for inventing the BW-transform and the FM-index that opened and
influenced the field of Compressed Data Structures with fundamental impact on
Data Compression and Computational Biology. In 1994, Burrows and his late
coauthor David Wheeler published their paper describing revolutionary data
compression algorithm based on a reversible transformation of the input—the
“Burrows-Wheeler Transform” (BWT). A few years later, Ferragina and Manzini
showed that, by orchestrating the BWT with a new set of mathematical techniques
and algorithmic tools, it became possible to build a “compressed index,” later
called the FM-index. The introduction of the BW Transform and the development of
the FM-index have had a profound impact on the theory of algorithms and data
structures with fundamental advancements.

MOHAMMAD ALIZADEH RECEIVES ACM GRACE MURRAY HOPPER AWARD
Mohammad Alizadeh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the recipient of
the 2022 ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award for pioneering and impactful
contributions to data center networks. Alizadeh has fundamentally advanced how
data centers communicate efficiently in transporting data. One of his key
contributions is the control of data center network congestion and packet loss
with a groundbreaking Data Center Transport Control Protocol (DCTCP). DCTCP
significantly increases performance in datacenter environments where
state-of-the-art TCP protocols fall short.The theoretical foundation upon which
DCTCP is built and the empirical analyses, novel algorithms, and explicit
congestion notification techniques it leverages enable data packets to
circumvent congestion while using significantly less buffer space.
DIVERSITY DATA COLLECTION AT ACM
ACM is deeply committed to fostering a scientific community that both supports
and benefits from the talents of community members from a wide range of
backgrounds. To this end, ACM has adopted new demographic questions developed by
ACM’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council to understand current levels of
participation and to gauge our success at advancing DEI. It is mandated that
they be used throughout ACM for all activities, and responses will be required
from all ACM authors, reviewers, conference attendees, volunteers, and members.
Please take the time to fill out your questionnaire today.

Policy Council that present scientifically-grounded perspectives on the impact
of specific developments or applications of technology. Designed to complement
ACM’s activities in the policy arena, the primary goal is to inform rather than
advocate for specific policies. The new edition states that the ubiquity of
algorithmic systems creates serious risks that are not being adequately
addressed. A recurring theme of the TechBrief is that while perfectly safe
algorithmic systems are not possible, achievable steps can be taken to make them
safer. To that end, it recommends that enabling safer algorithmic systems must
be a high research and policy priority of governments and all stakeholders.
HOTTOPIC PANEL ON WEB ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL
ACM's US Technology Policy Committee (USTPC) hosted a HotTopics webinar session,
"With Liberty and Web Accessibility for All: Getting the DOJ’s Upcoming
Rulemaking Right"—now available on demand. The panel of ACM experts discussed
what the new rules should look like, whether they can be crafted to well serve
both user and business interests, what assistive technologies must they enable,
if the new rules fully meet the needs of the one in four Americans affected by
some form of disability, and how accessible websites should be designed to
conform with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
USTPC ISSUES REVISED STATEMENT ON REMOTE PROCTORING
ACM's US Technology Policy Committee has released a Statement on Principles for
the Development and Deployment of Equitable, Private, and Secure Remote
Proctoring Systems. The statement provides a framework to guide those developing
and deploying remote proctoring systems to ensure that these systems are
private, secure, fair, and accessible for all users. The statement refines and
expands upon principles first developed and published in August of 2021 as the
COVID pandemic increased the use of, but not necessarily the adoption of,
adequate policies and practices to govern such systems.

ACM ByteCast
FEATURED ACM BYTECAST
ACM ByteCast is a podcast series from ACM’s Practitioner Board in which hosts
Rashmi Mohan, Bruke Kifle, and Scott Hanselman interview researchers,
practitioners, and innovators who are at the intersection of computing research
and practice. Guests share their experiences, the lessons they’ve learned, and
their own visions for the future of computing. In this episode—part of a special
collaboration between ACM ByteCast and the American Medical Informatics
Association (AMIA)’s For Your Informatics podcast—hosts Sabrina Hsueh and
Sullafa Kadura welcome Holly Urban, a pediatrician and clinical informaticist.
Urban describes how she became interested in medical informatics, product
design, and management, the importance of data literacy, and more
VIEW ACM’S 75TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION ON DEMAND
ACM organized a special one-day conference to celebrate its 75th anniversary.

DISENTANGLING HYPE FROM PRACTICALITY: ON REALISTICALLY ACHIEVING QUANTUM
ADVANTAGE
In this article, Torsten Hoefler et al., take a look at quantum computers, which
operate on fundamentally different principles than conventional computers.
Quantum computers promise to solve a variety of important problems that seemed
forever intractable on classical computers. And there is a maze of hard problems
that have been suggested to profit from quantum acceleration: from
cryptanalysis, chemistry and materials science, to optimization, big data,
machine learning, database search, drug design and protein folding, and more.
But which of these applications realistically offer a potential quantum
advantage in practice?
For Practitioners
MORE THAN JUST ALGORITHMS
Dramatic advances in the ability to gather, store, and process data have led to
the rapid growth of data science and its mushrooming impact on nearly all
aspects of the economy and society. Data science has also had a huge effect on
academic disciplines with new research agendas, new degrees, and organizational
entities. Recognizing the complexity and impact of the field, Alfred Spector,
Peter Norvig, Chris Wiggins, and Jeannette Wing have completed a new textbook on
data science, Data Science in Context: Foundations, Challenges, Opportunities,
published in October 2022. With deep and diverse experience in both research
and practice, across academia, government, and industry, the authors present a
holistic view of what is needed to apply data science well.

ACM UPDATES CODE OF ETHICS
ACM recently updated its Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. The revised
Code of Ethics addresses the significant advances in computing technology since
the 1992 version, as well as the growing pervasiveness of computing in all
aspects of society. To promote the Code throughout the computing community, ACM
created a booklet, which includes the Code, case studies that illustrate how the
Code can be applied to situations that arise in everyday practice and
suggestions on how the Code can be used in educational settings and in companies
and organizations. Download a PDF of the ACM Code booklet.
