The Rise of the AI-Enabled Agentic Internet
Society is turning over major and minor decisions once made exclusively by humans to AI agents.
Formal computer science may never model practical computer engineering well enough to be predictive in the way the physical sciences are.
Space-based datacenters would reduce the need for water, electricity, and other earth-based resources.
Revolutionizing Datacenter Networks via Reconfigurable Topologies
An overview of reconfigurable datacenter networks and their technological enablers.
Rethinking Social Media’s Future

Designing an Efficient Tree Index on Disaggregated Memory
Sherman demonstrates that combining RDMA hardware features and RDMA-friendly software designs can enable a high-performance index on disaggregated memory.
Technical Perspective: A Write-Optimized Distributed B+Tree Index on Disaggregated Memory
The high-performance tree index uses a lock-free search with versions to resolve read-write conflicts and exclusive locks to resolve write-write conflicts.
Analytics Are A Full Stack Problem
Dashboards provide insight into operations and opportunities for improvement.
Security Research Gaps Leave Critical Infrastructure Open to Cyberattack
The risk of attack on industrial controls is greater for today's interconnected systems than for those in the isolated world of Stuxnet.
The design ensures unobtrusiveness and a natural look and feel while achieving high signal quality, high spatial-temporal fidelity, and low power operation.

Building Safer and Interoperable AI Systems
AI agents are now contemplated that can interact with each other and with information sources on the Internet. What could go wrong?
Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
