ACM Focus, a New Way to Explore and Interact with ACM Content

ACM Focus is a new way to explore the breadth and variety of ACM content, and to stay current with the latest trends in your technical community. ACM Focus consists of a set of AI-curated custom feeds by subject, each serving up a focused set of the latest relevant ACM content. These high-level subject-based feeds of original and curated content provide overall awareness of relevant ACM activities, people, talks and a variety of published works. Current topic areas are Artificial Intelligence; Information Systems; the Web; Society and the Computing Profession; Applied Computing; Graphics and Computer-Aided Design; Networks and Communications; Architecture; Hardware; Human-Computer Interaction; Security and Privacy; Software Engineering and Programming Languages; and Computational Theory. The feeds are built in an automated fashion and are refined as the user interacts with them.

AWARDS

Call for Nominations for Fran Allen Mentorship Award

ACM announces a new award that highlights the value of mentoring in the development of computing professionals. The ACM Frances E. Allen Award for Outstanding Mentoring emphasizes contributions in mentoring students and young professionals from diverse communities. Please consider nominating a deserving individual for this unique award that promotes diversity in computing. Nominations are due December 15.

ACM SIGACT Announces 2021 Knuth and Gödel Prizes

The ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (ACM SIGACT) recently announced that Moshe Vardi of Rice University is the recipient of the 2021 Knuth Prize for outstanding contributions that apply mathematical logic to multiple fundamental areas of computer science. ACM SIGACT also announced that the 2021 Gödel Prize is awarded to five researchers: Andrei Bulatov, Simon Fraser University; Martin E. Dyer, University of Leeds; David Richerby, University of Essex; Jin-Yi Cai, University of Wisconsin, Madison; and Xi Chen, Columbia University, for their work on constraint satisfaction, a vital area of study within theoretical computer science.Read the ACM news release.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Graduate Receives ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award

Chuchu Fan of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is the recipient of the 2020 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award for her dissertation, “Formal Methods for Safe Autonomy: Data-Driven Verification, Synthesis, and Applications.” Fan’s dissertation makes foundational contributions to verification of embedded and cyber-physical systems, and demonstrates applicability of the developed verification technologies in industrial-scale systems. Her dissertation also advances the theory for sensitivity analysis and symbolic reachability and develops verification algorithms and software tools (DryVR, Realsyn). Key contributions of her dissertation include the first data-driven algorithms for bounded verification of nonlinear hybrid systems using sensitivity analysis.

Honorable Mentions for the 2020 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award went to Henry Corrigan-Gibbs of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Ralf Jung of the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems and MIT. Corrigan-Gibbs’s dissertation, “Protecting Privacy by Splitting Trust,” improved user privacy on the internet using techniques that combine theory and practice. Jung’s dissertation, “Understanding and Evolving the Rust Programming Language,” established the first formal foundations for safe systems programming in the innovative programming language Rust.

The 2020 Doctoral Dissertation Award recipients will be formally recognized at the annual ACM Awards Banquet on October 23 in San Francisco. The Doctoral Dissertation Award is accompanied by a prize of $20,000, and the Honorable Mention Award is accompanied by a prize totaling $10,000.Read the ACM news release.
