Turing Laureate
IN MEMORIAM: E. ALLEN EMERSON
ACM A.M. Turing Laureate and Professor of Computer Science at the University of
Texas at Austin E. Allen Emerson passed away on October 15, 2024. He received
the Turing Award together with Edmund Clarke and Joseph Sifakis for their role
in developing model-checking into a highly effective verification technology
that was widely adopted in the hardware and software industries. This method
provides an algorithmic means of verifying whether or not an abstract model
representing a system or design, satisfies a formal specification expressed in
temporal logic. Emerson also received the ACM Paris Kanellakis Theory and
Practice Award for his part in the invention of symbolic model checking.

ACM A.M. Turing Award recipient Geoffrey Hinton has been awarded the 2024 Nobel
Prize in Physics along with John J. Hopfield "for foundational discoveries and
inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks."
Hopfield created an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and
other types of patterns in data. Hinton invented a method that can autonomously
find properties in data, and so perform tasks such as identifying specific
elements in pictures. Hinton received the 2018 A.M. Turing Award with Yoshua
Bengio and Yann LeCun for conceptual and engineering breakthroughs that have
made deep neural networks a critical component of computing.

technology magazines. The web-first model will allow ACM to publish articles
more rapidly than before so that readers can keep abreast of the lightning-fast
changes in the computing field. At the same time, researchers will be able to
reference and cite valuable information and research from CACM articles more
quickly. This marks another important milestone in ACM's ongoing transition to a
fully open access publisher.

MOBILIZING FOR DIVERSITY IN AWARD RECOGNITION
Over the years, computing has progressed remarkably thanks to the contributions
of individuals from diverse backgrounds who have incorporated their unique
experiences and perspectives into technological advancements. Yet despite these
significant contributions, award recognition for individuals from diverse
backgrounds remains underrepresented. In "Science Needs You: Mobilizing for
Diversity in Award Recognition," co-authors Elizabeth Novoa-Monsalve, David
Patterson, Stephanie Ludi, and Daniel E. Acuna offer insights on how to create a
more inclusive and equitable system of award recognition within the scientific
community.
2023 COMPUTER SCIENCE CURRICULUM GUIDELINES REVISION

Advancement of Artificial Intelligence to develop "Computer Science Curricula
2023” (CS2023). CS2023 provides a comprehensive guide outlining the knowledge
and competencies students should attain for degrees in computer science and
related disciplines at the undergraduate level. Establishing uniform curricular
guidelines for computer science disciplines is essential to the ongoing vitality
of the field and the future success of those who study it.
NEW OPEN ACCESS PUBLISHING MODEL FOR ICPS COMING IN 2024
In a major step in its transition to fully Open Access (OA) publication of all
content on the ACM Digital Library, ACM will transition the International
Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS) to a fully OA publishing model from January
2024. In the new model, all ICPS papers will be made OA upon publication, and
existing ICPS papers will be converted to OA. Some authors who are not at ACM
Open institutions will be required to pay Article Processing Charges (APCs). The
model will apply to all conferences for which the Call for Papers will be issued
on or after January 1, 2024.

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.
TECHBRIEF ON DATA PRIVACY PROTECTION
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 concerns the proliferation of
data collection, advanced algorithms, and powerful computers which have made it
easy to piece together information about individuals’ private lives from public
information—even as controls over information privacy become increasingly
ineffective.
HOTTOPIC PANEL ON AUTONOMOUS WEAPONS
Once considered science fiction, autonomous weapons systems long ago left the
drawing board for the battlefield. Employed in conflicts today, such systems
remain controversial and are ungoverned by any broad binding international
agreement. The ACM US Technology Policy Committee hosted the HotTopics webinar:
"Death by Algorithm: The Use, Control, and Legality of Lethal and Other
Autonomous Weapons Systems" with Larry Medsker (Moderator), Ronald C. Arkin,
Gary Corn, Jack Shanahan, and Jody Westby discussing this timely and critical
subject.

REEVALUATING GOOGLE’S REINFORCEMENT LEARNING FOR IC MACRO PLACEMENT
A 2021 paper in Nature by Mirhoseini, et al. about the use of reinforcement
learning (RL) in the physical design of silicon chips stirred up controversy due
to poorly documented claims. The paper, authored by Google researchers, withheld
critical methodological steps and most inputs needed to reproduce its results.
In the November Communications of the ACM, Igor L. Markov's meta-analysis shows
how two separate evaluations filled in the gaps and that Google RL lags behind
human chip designers, a well-known algorithm, and generally available commercial
software, while also being slower.
For Practitioners
MULTIPARTY COMPUTATION: TO SECURE PRIVACY, DO THE MATH
MPC (multiparty computation) was introduced to the world in 1982—at about the
same time the Commodore 64 was announced. Why are we still talking about MPC
more than 40 years later? Well, it turns out MPC is based on some extremely
complex math, which is like nectar to anyone in the field of cryptography. And,
over the past decade, MPC has come to be exhumed from the archives and harnessed
as one of the most powerful tools available for the protection of sensitive
data. Here, in a discussion with Nigel Smart, Joshua W. Baron, Sanjay Saravanan,
Jordan Brandt, and Atefeh Mashatan, we explore some of the implications of these
advances.
For Practitioners
AUTOMATICALLY TESTING DATABASE SYSTEMS
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, "Automatically Testing
Database Systems," Manuel Rigger (Assistant Professor in the School of Computing
at the National University of Singapore) presents three papers. The first
focuses on the problem of automatically synthesizing sophisticated test oracles
that check whether the outputs of a database history are correct. The second
co-designs input generation and test oracle in order to focus strictly on bugs
in concurrency control. The last covers a diverse input space of SQL dialects
while relying on the "built-in" test oracle of system crashes.
