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.
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.
ACM SKILLS BUNDLE ADD-ON
ACM has created a new Skills Bundle add-on providing unlimited access to ACM's
collection of thousands of online books, courses, and training videos from
O'Reilly, Skillsoft Percipio, and Pluralsight. ACM’s collection includes more
than 60,000 online books and video courses from O’Reilly, 9,700 online courses
and 11,000 eBooks and audiobooks from Skillsoft, and 2,000 courses from
Pluralsight.
The new Skills Bundle add-on is available to paid Professional Members only.
Visit the ACM subscription page or contact Member Services to add the Skills
Bundle to your membership.
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.
ACM CELEBRATES HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH, SEPT. 15 - OCT. 15, 2023

HEADS-UP COMPUTING: MOVING BEYOND THE DEVICE-CENTERED PARADIGM
In this article from the September 2023 issue of Communications of the ACM,
Shengdong Zhao, et al. explore humanity's co-evolution with tools. Well-designed
tools effectively expand our physical as well as mental capabilities,and the
rise of computers in our recent history has opened up possibilities like never
before. Traditional computers with text-based, command-line interfaces evolved
into an integrated everyday device: the personal computer. Similarly, the mobile
interaction paradigm introduced in the 1990s transformed how information can be
accessed anytime and anywhere with a single handheld device. Never have we had
so much computing power in the palm of our hands. But how will heads-up
computing continue this evolution?

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.
For Practitioners
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.
