Call for Nominations for 2022 ACM Awards

ACM seeks your help in building and diversifying the nomination pool for our 2022 Awards. It is often the case that people wonder why a specific person who seems highly deserving has not received an ACM award. The common answer is that the person was never nominated. We ask that members help distribute this ACM Awards Call for Nominations to your network through distribution lists, related organizations, and individual contacts to help ensure that deserving candidates are nominated. It is also asked that ACM's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion be taken into consideration when nominating. While candidates for advanced member grades (Fellow or Distinguished Member) must be ACM members, candidates for ACM Awards do not need to be members to be nominated.

For a list of all ACM awards, information about each award, and their categories, please visit the ACM Awards Webpage.

ACM Journals Shine in Latest Impact Factor Release

ACM applauds the recent announcement from Clarivate that all journals in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), including 13 ACM titles, will receive impact factors in the 2023 JCR release. ACM journals indexed in ESCI include several titles from ACM’s innovative Proceedings of the ACM journal series, which publishes conference papers that have undergone a peer-review process comparable to that of traditional journals. “We are proud of the latest JCR results, which are the product of the hard work and dedication of our journal editors, editorial boards, the ACM Publications Board and Committees, and our authors and reviewers,” commented ACM Director of Publications Scott Delman. “The high level of citation activity for our journals reflects the immense value of these publications to the researcher and practitioner communities. As ACM continues its journey to becoming a fully open access publisher, we anticipate that our journals will be read and cited even more widely going forward.”

SIG NEWS AND AWARDS

FCRC 2023, June 16–23, 2023

The 2023 ACM Federated Computing Research Conference will assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences and workshops into a week-long, co-located, meeting in Orlando, Florida, USA. This model retains the advantages of the smaller conferences, while at the same time facilitating communication among researchers in different fields of computer science and engineering. Each morning FCRC will feature a joint plenary talk on topics of broad appeal to the computing research community. The technical program for each affiliated conference will be independently administered, and each is responsible for its own meeting's structure, content, and proceedings. To the extent facilities allow, attendees are free to attend technical sessions of other affiliated conferences co-located with their "home" conference.

Best Paper Awards Given at Recent ACM SIG Conferences

ACM's Special Interest Groups (SIGs) regularly cite outstanding individuals for their contributions in 38 distinct technological fields. Some awards presented (or to be presented) at conferences:

PUBLIC POLICY

Fourth ACM TPC TechBrief Highlights Quantum Simulation’s “Promise and Perils”

The ACM Technology Policy Council’s latest TechBrief, "Quantum Computing and Simulation", looks behind the hype surrounding quantum computing to highlight its much less discussed offshoot: quantum simulation. Unlike “full function” quantum computers that are not predicted to be viable for between 10 and 40 years, quantum simulators could be widely available for scientific and industrial use in as few as two years.

Despite its imminent viability and potentially huge real-world impact for good and ill, however, quantum simulation technology has received scant attention. Rather, media and government bodies have been focused on the still highly theoretical fear that quantum computers could one day defeat vital encryption systems essential to information security and financial systems. Meanwhile, the new TechBrief notes, the “promise and peril” of quantum simulation have been dangerously under-evaluated.

The new TechBrief, the fourth in the quarterly series, explores: the various yet profound societal and individual risks this technology may pose to privacy and other civil liberties; its potential benefits for agriculture, drug production, and quantum computing itself (among others); and how government, industry, and the computing field as a whole should proceed with a combination of caution and confidence in this emerging area.

The Brief’s “Key Conclusions” are:

Quantum simulation, a less recognized element of the quantum technology revolution, must be planned for thoroughly to realize its tremendous promise.
Because quantum simulators are likely to be developed far sooner than general-purpose quantum computers, such planning is needed immediately.
Strategic investment, and government oversight and controls, will be critical to securing the benefits of quantum simulation while mitigating both its foreseeable and unforeseen risks.

Look for the ACM Technology Policy Council’s next TechBrief in October 2022. All four issues produced to date are described and linked here online.

ACM ByteCast Interviews Michelle Zhou

ACM ByteCast is ACM's series of podcast interviews with researchers, practitioners, and innovators who are at the intersection of computing research and practice. In the latest episode, host Bruke Kifle is joined by Michelle Zhou, Co-Founder and CEO of Juji, Inc, the maker of the world’s only accessible cognitive AI assistant. Zhou presents five inflection points that led to her current work, including the impact of two professors in graduate school who helped her find her direction in AI. She explains what no-code AI means, why the ability for users to customize AI without having coding skills is important, and responds to the critics of no-code AI. Kilfe and Zhou then delve into the inception of her AI company that develops AI assistants with cognitive intelligence, Juji, and how it is being used as a platform to introduce AI to early education. Finally, Zhou shares thoughts on the future of software and the no-code movement, as well as the future of AI itself.

TechTalk: Seismic Shifts: Challenges and Opportunities in the "Post-ISA" Era of Computer Systems Design

Watch the on-demand ACM TechTalk "Seismic Shifts: Challenges and Opportunities in the "Post-ISA" Era of Computer Systems Design," by Margaret Martonosi, recipient of the 2021 Eckert-Mauchly Award for contributions to the design, modeling, and verification of power-efficient computer architecture. Systems designers are turning to a range of approaches to scale computer systems performance and power efficiency. Unfortunately, the scaling gains afforded by these techniques come with significant costs: increased hardware and software complexity, degraded programmability and portability, and increased likelihood of design errors and security vulnerabilities. The long-held hardware-software abstraction offered by the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) interface is fading quickly in this post-ISA era. This talk will cover a range of design opportunities and challenges, with a particular emphasis on the surprising alignments between full-stack issues in both classical and quantum computing systems.
