Panmodal Information Interaction and More
ACM, Association for Computing Machinery
The world's largest professional organization advancing #computing as a science and profession.
In this edition of "Advances in Computing." we have three CACM stories on panmodality, security documentation, and computational complexity. Also featured are stories from ACM magazines Interactions.
Happy Reading!
Envisioning the future of information interaction using multiple modalities enabled by the emergent capabilities of generative artificial intelligence.
Going forward, we expect that panmodality will play more of a central role in information interaction. There are clear benefits to developing specialized modalities with specific capabilities, in their complementarity, and in efforts to bring them together as needed for tasks.
Forward-thinking organizations see security documentation as an essential tool that shapes decision-making, aligns teams, and fortifies both technical and business strategies.
It’s time to stop viewing security documentation as a necessary evil and start leveraging it as a strategic asset. If you embed documentation into your organization’s culture and align it with business goals, you can unlock operational efficiencies, foster resilience, and even gain a competitive edge.
Twenty-one co-authors, spanning academia and industry, with expertise in memory-safety research, deployment, and policy, argue that standardization is an essential next step to achieving universal strong memory safety.
We believe contemporary language-based, hardware-based, compartmentalized, and formal techniques for achieving memory safety are now of sufficient maturity to allow a path to be planned toward universal memory safety, the adoption of strong memory-safety techniques throughout all forms of computer systems.
Interactions - All About HCI:
One researcher argues that now is the time to debate key assumptions and address the intersection of human and resource sustainability.
