The Computer Society's business is to help members access the right resources and technical information, support them in their careers, and facilitate relationships with like-minded professionals that offer opportunities for mentoring and collaboration.
We must question the assumptions underlying the well-known current formal software development methods to see why they have not been widely adopted and what should be changed.
3D content still is not widely found on the Web. Now, though, several new technologies may widen 3D's presence on the Web by transforming browsers into computing platforms powerful enough to play the content.
Even with a variety of aggressive energy efficiency measures, the ICT sector's carbon emissions will nearly triple from 2002 to 2020. We must accelerate ICT energy efficiency so that we can increase the use of ICT in smart infrastructure capable of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.
Fingerprint matching has been successfully used by law enforcement for more than a century. The technology is now finding many other applications such as identity management and access control. The authors describe an automated fingerprint recognition system and identify key challenges and research opportunities in the field.
Biometric identification is the topic discussed. In this paper, research from the Center for Advanced Studies in Identity Sciences is aggressively addressing the challenges of face and iris recognition when the subjects of interest are operating in an unconstrained environment, typically far away from the sensor, partially obscured, or moving. Emerging technologies in face recognition and iris recognition...
Iris recognition systems have made tremendous inroads over the past decade, but work remains to improve their accuracy in environments characterized by unfavorable lighting, large stand-off distances, and moving subjects.
Biometric systems encompass the development of capture devices to acquire biometric signals, software algorithms for effective identification, and databases that store biometric data for comparison.
The widespread deployment of technologies like mobile phones continues to drive new applications and to open research opportunities. This article talks about ubiquitous computing and how people understand and interact with computing. Pervasive computing technologies are transparent to users until the system malfunctions. Minor breakdowns are common, and people get used to them. However, when breakdowns...
Artificial intelligence was the main topic of this paper. AI in the triad of strategic intelligence, social networking, and knowledge retention were discussed. The author mentions that AI techniques can help organizations achieve success in today's demanding environment. Researchers can use AI to help identify relationships among persons, teams, departments, and other entities within organizations...
More than 2.3 million people currently live in US prisons or jails, 25 percent of the world's total inmate population, a comparatively much higher rate than in other Western countries. Denmark only incarcerates 66 of every 100,000 citizens, compared to 760 in the US (www.kcl.ac.uk/depsta/rel/icps/worldbrief/world_brief.html). This situation results from tough sentencing policies that focus on drug...
Entrepreneurship in the computing course was the topic in this paper. Discovery, innovation, and creativity were the core aspects of computing that was discussed. The author mentioned that computing programs should infuse the principles of entrepreneurship in computing curricula to equip students with the tools and skills necessary for them to succeed and for the economy to thrive. While becoming...
