smaller conferences while facilitating communication among researchers in
different fields of computer science and engineering. To the extent facilities
allow, attendees are free to attend technical sessions of other affiliated
conferences co-located with their "home" conference. For more information as
well as a list of participating conferences, visit the website. Watch the
FCRC’23 plenary talks live each day from 11:20 am – 12:30 pm and the Tuesday
4:15 pm – 5:15 pm Plenary Panel: Reflecting on 50 Years of Computing Research,

service and mentoring. Seltzer is especially known for her efforts to broaden
participation in computer science among traditionally underrepresented groups.
She has also served as program chair for conferences in systems and databases,
and serves on numerous advisory boards for scientific and national boards.
DIVERSITY DATA COLLECTION AT ACM
ACM is deeply committed to fostering a scientific community that both supports
and benefits from the talents of community members from a wide range of
backgrounds. To this end, ACM has adopted new demographic questions developed by
ACM’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council to understand current levels of
participation and to gauge our success at advancing DEI. It is mandated that
they be used throughout ACM for all activities, and responses will be required
from all ACM authors, reviewers, conference attendees, volunteers, and members.

INVENTORS OF BW-TRANSFORM AND THE FM-INDEX RECEIVE KANELLAKIS AWARD
Michael Burrows, Google; Paolo Ferragina, University of Pisa; and Giovanni
Manzini, University of Pisa, receive the ACM Paris Kanellakis Theory and
Practice Award for inventing the BW-transform and the FM-index that opened and
influenced the field of Compressed Data Structures with fundamental impact on
Data Compression and Computational Biology. In 1994, Burrows and his late
coauthor David Wheeler published their paper describing revolutionary data
compression algorithm—the “Burrows-Wheeler Transform” (BWT). A few years later,
Ferragina and Manzini showed that it was possible to build a “compressed index,”
later called the FM-index. The introduction of the BW Transform and the
development of the FM-index have had a profound impact on the theory of
algorithms and data structures with fundamental advancements.

TECHBRIEF ON THE DATA TRUST DEFICIT
ACM TechBriefs is a series of short technical bulletins by ACM’s Technology
Policy Council that present scientifically-grounded perspectives on the impact
of specific developments or applications of technology. Designed to complement
ACM’s activities in the policy arena, the primary goal is to inform rather than
advocate for specific policies. The new edition is focused on a key challenge:
that the full potential of data-driven systems cannot be realized without better
understanding the roots of the distrust they can engender. Importantly, the
TechBrief dispels the popular misconception that a lack of trust in data systems
is a result of poor data literacy among the public. However, the TechBrief also
points out that greater literacy often increases distrust.
HOTTOPIC PANEL ON WEB ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL
ACM's US Technology Policy Committee (USTPC) hosted a HotTopics webinar session,
"With Liberty and Web Accessibility for All: Getting the DOJ’s Upcoming
Rulemaking Right"—now available on demand. The panel of ACM experts discussed
what the new rules should look like, whether they can be crafted to well serve
both user and business interests, what assistive technologies must they enable,
if the new rules fully meet the needs of the one in four Americans affected by
some form of disability, and how accessible websites should be designed to
conform with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
USTPC ISSUES REVISED STATEMENT ON REMOTE PROCTORING
ACM's US Technology Policy Committee has released a Statement on Principles for
the Development and Deployment of Equitable, Private, and Secure Remote
Proctoring Systems. The statement provides a framework to guide those developing
and deploying remote proctoring systems to ensure that these systems are
private, secure, fair, and accessible for all users. The statement refines and
expands upon principles first developed and published in August of 2021 as the
COVID pandemic increased the use of, but not necessarily the adoption of,
adequate policies and practices to govern such systems.

ACM ByteCast
FEATURED ACM BYTECAST
ACM ByteCast is ACM's series of podcast interviews with researchers,
practitioners, and innovators who are at the intersection of computing research
and practice. In this episode, Rashmi Mohan hosts 2015 ACM A.M. Turing Award
laureates Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman. As joint creators of the
Diffie-Hellman key exchange, they introduced the world to the transformative
idea of public key cryptography, the underpinning of every secure transaction on
the internet today. Whitfield and Martin share their individual journeys to
computer science and cryptography, describe how they met and developed a rapport
as researchers, and share colorful details from their early years and as well as
advice for young people aspiring to get into computing.
VIEW ACM’S 75TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION ON DEMAND
ACM organized a special one-day conference to celebrate its 75th anniversary.
This event was truly a memorable day of panels featuring world-leading scholars
and practitioners on topics central to the future of computing. Panelists
imagined what might be next for technology and society. ACM’s 75th Anniversary
Celebration took place at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on June 10. View the

MAKING CONNECTIONS
In this article, Neil Savage presents an overview of the work and
accomplishments of 2022 ACM A.M. Turing Award recipient Bob Metcalfe, offering a
wide-ranging look at Metcalfe's remarkable career from his youthful interest in
technology, to his experiences at MIT and Harvard, to the inspiration,
development, and legacy of his preeminent creation, Ethernet—which has become
the industry standard and an absolutely integral part of the Internet. He also
discusses his varied professional roles throughout his career as well as some
advice for those just beginning in the field of computing. You can also read a
more detailed Q&A interview between Metcalfe and Leah Hoffman in the CACM
article, "Still Networking," available here.
For Practitioners
MORE THAN JUST ALGORITHMS
Dramatic advances in the ability to gather, store, and process data have led to
the rapid growth of data science and its mushrooming impact on nearly all
aspects of the economy and society. Data science has also had a huge effect on
academic disciplines with new research agendas, new degrees, and organizational
entities. Recognizing the complexity and impact of the field, Alfred Spector,
Peter Norvig, Chris Wiggins, and Jeannette Wing have completed a new textbook on
data science, Data Science in Context: Foundations, Challenges, Opportunities,
published in October 2022. With deep and diverse experience in both research
and practice, across academia, government, and industry, the authors present a
holistic view of what is needed to apply data science well.
For Practitioners
OS SCHEDULING
ACM Queue’s "Research for Practice" serves up expert-curated guides to the best
of computing research, and relates these breakthroughs to the challenges that
software engineers face every day. In this installment, "OS Scheduling," Kostis
Kaffes, incoming Assistant Professor at Columbia University and software
engineer at SystemsResearch@Google, offers his take on better scheduling
policies for modern computing systems focusing on a trio of papers. The first
paper challenges the putative tradeoff between low latency and high utilization.
The second enables the creation of arbitrary scheduling policies by factoring
apart the creation and manipulation of policy. And the final selection addresses
the choice of policy on an application-by-application basis.

ACM UPDATES CODE OF ETHICS
ACM recently updated its Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. The revised
Code of Ethics addresses the significant advances in computing technology since
the 1992 version, as well as the growing pervasiveness of computing in all
aspects of society. To promote the Code throughout the computing community, ACM
created a booklet, which includes the Code, case studies that illustrate how the
Code can be applied to situations that arise in everyday practice and
suggestions on how the Code can be used in educational settings and in companies
and organizations. Download a PDF of the ACM Code booklet.
