CONFERENCES AND EVENTS

SIGMOD/PODS, Jun 12 - 17

The annual ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference is a leading international forum for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and results, and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. The conference includes a fascinating technical program with research and industrial talks, tutorials, demos, and focused workshops. Keynote speakers include Barbara Liskov "Reflections on Programming Methodology," Laks V.S. Lakshmanan "On a Quest for Combating Filter Bubbles and Misinformation," and Christopher Re "Is Data Management the Beating Heart of AI Systems?" This will be an in-person conference held in Philadelphia, PA, and hybrid participation will be available via Zoom, Gather.town, and Slack, linked through the detailed program.

DIS, Jun 13 - Jul 17

The ACM SIGCHI Conference on Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) is the premier international arena where designers, artists, psychologists, user experience researchers, systems engineers, and many more, come together to debate and shape the future of interactive systems design and practice. The theme for DIS 2022 is "Digital Wellbeing" and the event will be held online. The theme responds to the need for designers and design researchers to not only design for wellbeing, but also to look after their own wellbeing and the people around them, through and with design. The result will be an opportunity to learn who we are and who we want to become. To achieve this, DIS 2022 will be a way to identify how to get there.

PLDI, June 15 - 17

PLDI is a premier forum for programming language research, broadly construed, including design, implementation, theory, applications, and performance. PLDI seeks outstanding research that extends and/or applies programming-language concepts to advance the field of computing. Keynote speakers are Emery Berger (University of Massachusetts Amherst) and Margo Seltzer (University of British Columbia). PLDI 2022 will be held in-person at the Catamaran Resort in San Diego, California, USA. Participation is also possible through an online component with live-streamed talks + Q&A and social interaction and events on Gather.town.

ISCA, Jun 18 - 22

The International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA) is the premier forum for new ideas and research results in computer architecture. In 2022, the 49th edition of ISCA will be held in-person in New York City, New York, USA. Keynote speakers include Kenneth Brown on "Future Quantum Hardware," and Krisztian Flautner on "Trust: The Final Frontier." The workshops and tutorials page shows the approximate schedule and links to organizers' pages for a number of fascinating events such as a Tutorial on FireSim and Chipyard, workshops on Quantum Resource Estimation and Open-Source Computer Architecture Research, exploring Microarchitectural Attacks and Defenses, and many more.

PUBLIC POLICY

Europe TPC Comments on Chip Act, Data Act, and Cyber Resilience

ACM's Europe Technology Policy Committee established a new high-water mark in monthly policy-related output in May with the submission of formal comments in three separate and distinct European Commission Consultations:

Chips Act—The Commission proposed legislation intended to codify a "semiconductor ecosystem framework" for fostering and enhancing the Europe-based production and design of semiconductor chips. While supporting legislators' "intention to promote European digital sovereignty," Europe TPC noted fundamentally that "the Chips Act fails to address the substantial probability that it will produce "rebound" effects potentially significant enough to wholly negate efficiency savings or even induce net energy and emissions increases (aka "backfire"). The Framework should thus be amended to expressly identify, quantify, and mitigate such impacts, with a view to aligning semiconductor innovation with the technological and environmental objectives of the Green Deal." Its comments went on to detail and document those effects.

Data Act—Europe TPC concurred with the proposed legislation's goal of ensuring "fairness in the allocation of value from data among actors in the data economy and to foster access to and use of data." The Committee specifically recommended, however, that it be modified to: include metadata within its regulatory scope; address foreseeable environmental impacts to mitigate climate change; and assure that regulations adopted not be unduly complex or costly with which to comply.

Cyber Resilience Act—This proposed legislation, as defined by the Commission, "seeks to establish common cybersecurity rules for digital products and associated services" throughout the EU. Europe TPC responded to a host of commission inquiries in questionnaire form supplemented by detailed comments on more than a half dozen issues related to the present state of digital product cybersecurity, as well as how to both improve and regulate it.

USTPC Letter to DOJ Endorses Detailed Accessibility Standards for ADA-Compliant Website!

In a letter to the US Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, USTPC has endorsed a February 2022 Joint Letter to Enforce Accessibility Standards signed by 181 disability organizations calling on the agency to adopt defined digital accessibility regulations and standards for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In March 2022 the DOJ published non-binding Guidance on Web Accessibility and the ADA. USTPC's letter notes, however, that the "guidance" is nonspecific and incomplete, failing to address numerous accessibility needs and requirements. Of that omission, USTPC wrote: "This creates a design, implementation, and oversight gap for digital accessibility that we believe is illogical, unjustifiable, and harmful."

Tech Talk: The Past, Present, and Future of Supply Chain Security with Dan Lorenc

Register now for the next free ACM TechTalk, "The Past, Present, and Future of Supply Chain Security," presented on Wednesday, June 8 at 12:00 PM ET/17:00 UTC by Dan Lorenc, CEO of Chainguard. Supply chain security has become a massive talking point across the software industry over the last several years, from open source communities all the way to government circles and regulated industries. Unfortunately, the problem space is complex and encompasses several dozen individual threat vectors at different points of the development lifecycle that each require individual fixes. This talk will cover the state of software supply chain security over the last 40 years. Attendees will learn how to detangle the mess of related but distinct problems that are facing the industry, and how open source fits in and plays a critical role. The talk will also cover new techniques for mitigating and protecting against these threats, in both open source and proprietary software development environments.
