ACM's Open-Conference Principle and Political Reality
ACM's Open-Conference principle reflects ACM's mission of "advance computing as a science and a profession; enable professional development; and promote policies and research that benefit society." In the past few weeks, however …ACM's Commitment to Accessibility
As ACM's President, I remain focused on issues of diversity. I would like to highlight two key aspects of accessibility already being addressed by ACM. The first is digital accessibility; the second is conference accessibility …Grumpy Old Cells
I am going way out on a limb in this column into an area where I really know very little but am completely fascinated by what I am learning. The tenuous linkage to our discipline is what I will call programmed cell self-destruction …DEPARTMENT: Letters to the editor
