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.


ACM BOASTS STRONG IMPACT FACTORS

The journals of ACM once again had an impressive showing in the latest Journal
Citation Reports release from Clarivate, with notable performances across the
entire portfolio and fifteen journals receiving their first impact
factors—including four titles from the innovative Proceedings of the ACM (PACM)
program. ACM's flagship magazine Communications of the ACM (CACM) continued its
dominance by receiving an all-time high impact factor of 22.7, placing it first
in all three of its categories, and ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) which continued
to ascend with an impact factor of 16.6, placing it third in the Computer
Science, Theory & Methods category.


CEASING PRINT PUBLICATION OF ACM JOURNALS AND TRANSACTIONS

ACM has made the decision to cease 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
new features and functionality of the electronic versions in the ACM Digital
Library; and print subscriptions, which have been declining for years, have now
reached a level where the time was right to sunset print. Please contact
acmhelp@acm.org should you have any questions.


VIEW ON DEMAND - CELEBRATING TECHNOLOGY LEADERS: INSPIRING WOMEN OF DEVOPS

DevOps engineering is a relatively new career focused on building bridges
between the developmental and operational sides of software development. But
what does it take to become a DevOps engineer? What kind of work environment do
they operate in? And is it a promising career for women in tech? View the most
recent episode of "ACM-W Celebrating Technology Leaders," with host Bushra
Anjum, in which you will hear from women with successful DevOps careers and
learn from their experiences working in DevOps and as women in the field.


TECHBRIEF ON THE DATA TRUST DEFICIT

ACM TechBriefs is a series of short technical bulletins by ACM’s Technology
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 is focused on a key challenge:
that the full potential of data-driven systems cannot be realized without better
understanding the roots of the distrust they can engender. Importantly, the
TechBrief dispels the popular misconception that a lack of trust in data systems
is a result of poor data literacy among the public.


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.


TPC RELEASES PRINCIPLES FOR GENERATIVE AI TECHNOLOGIES

In response to major advances in generative AI technologies—as well as the
significant questions these technologies pose in areas including intellectual
property, the future of work, and even human safety—ACM's global Technology
Policy Council (TPC) has issued "Principles for the Development, Deployment, and
Use of Generative AI Technologies." Drawing on the deep technical expertise of
computer scientists in the United States and Europe, the TPC statement outlines
eight principles intended to foster fair, accurate, and beneficial
decision-making concerning generative and all other AI technologies.

A COMPUTATIONAL INFLECTION FOR SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY

In this article from the August 2023 issue of Communications of the ACM, Tom
Hope, et al. propose that we stand at the foot of a significant inflection in
the trajectory of scientific discovery. As society continues its digital
transformation, so does humankind's collective scientific knowledge and
discourse. The transition has led to the creation of a tremendous amount of
information, opening exciting opportunities for computational systems that
harness it. In parallel, we are witnessing remarkable advances in artificial
intelligence, including large language models capable of learning powerful
representations from unstructured text. The confluence of societal and
computational trends suggests that computer science is poised to ignite a
revolution in the scientific process itself.

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.

OS SCHEDULING

ACM Queue’s "Research for Practice" serves up expert-curated guides to the best
of computing research, and relates these breakthroughs to the challenges that
software 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 take on better scheduling
policies for modern computing systems focusing on a trio of papers. The first
paper challenges the putative tradeoff between low latency and high utilization.
The second enables the creation of arbitrary scheduling policies by factoring
apart the creation and manipulation of policy. And the final selection addresses
the choice of policy on an application-by-application basis.

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.


ON MARCH 3, 2022, ACM’S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DECIDED NOT TO HOLD ANY CONFERENCES
IN RUSSIA WHILE THE CONFLICT IN THE UKRAINE AND THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN
EUROPE CONTINUE. THIS DECISION APPLIES TO ACM SPONSORED CONFERENCES AND
WORKSHOPS AS WELL AS IN-COOPERATION EVENTS.
