Computer Society celebrates its 70th anniversary by looking back at the accomplishments of its members and volunteers. This issue celebrates the IEEE Floating Point Standard.
Metamorphic testing (MT) can enhance security testing by providing an alternative to using a test oracle, which is often unavailable or impractical. The authors report how MT detected previously unknown bugs in real-world critical applications such as code obfuscators, giving evidence that software testing requires diverse perspectives to achieve greater cybersecurity.
An examination of parallels between the "Day of Infamy" and a major cyberattack reveals lessons for organizations about vulnerability, the nature of survival, and the tenets of protection that can help boost resilience against hackers and other cyberthreats.
From politicians and nation states to terrorist groups, numerous organizations reportedly conduct explicit campaigns to influence opinions on social media, posing a risk to freedom of expression. Thus, there is a need to identify and eliminate "influence bots"--realistic, automated identities that illicitly shape discussions on sites like Twitter and Facebook--before they get too influential.
Mobile health technology has great potential to increase healthcare quality, expand access to services, reduce costs, and improve personal wellness and public health. However, mHealth also raises significant privacy and security challenges.
Sentient tools--powered by incredible advances in artificial intelligence, deep learning, and data mining--represent the next stage of intelligent, aware, and social machines designed specifically to work with people. The Web extra at https://youtu.be/XtMFZ0sDzIk is an audio recording in which Science Fiction Prototyping editor Brian David Johnson talks with Richard Sear, vice president of consulting...
With unprecedented access to open and free digital resources, applications, and data, educators can draw upon a bounty of educational tools. A new initiative enables computing educators and students to more easily find, use, and share these resources.
In attempting to define the Internet of Things, we should keep in mind that it's fundamentally about communication, computation, sensing, and actuation.
Just as I rejected some concepts of my mentors' generation, my students are rejecting some of mine. The Web extra at https://youtu.be/cAww0Tv-ftk is an audio recording of author David Alan Grier expanding on his Errant Hashtag column, in which he discusses the knowledge that only emerges in conversations with the larger scientific community.
A method to measure the contributions of crowdsourcing participants identifies how roles relate to an incident's investigation and discussion. Using data on the South China tiger incident, the authors evaluate the performance of brokers--those who connect separate groups within a platform and across platforms--and show how results compare with structural hole theory. The supplemental material at http://personal...
Artificial neural networks could become the technological driver that replaces Moore's law, boosting computers' utlity through a process akin to automatic programming--although physics and computer architecture would also factor in.
