Every technology can be classified as a nicety, necessity, antiquity, or ubiquity, or in some combination. This short message defines the interplay between these four terms.

In this Outlook issue, we look at emerging trends and technologies that promise to have major impacts on computing in the future. Topics covered include generative artificial intelligence, threatcasting, biometrics, semiconductor manufacturing, and ...

Interactive artificial intelligence empowering education requires that teachers and their students alike be prepared for unpredicted levels of critical and mathematical thinking.

This virtual roundtable focuses on applications of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to software testing with four leading experts from the field. Our experts reflect on transforming the work of software testing with GenAI, its impact on quality ...

The year 2024 is the 10-year anniversary of the first article about threatcasting. But what is the future of threatcasting? We explore both the history and the future of the method by reviewing how people across industries and domains are adopting and ...

The industrial sector faces significant cyberthreats due to the vast data exchange in Industry 4.0. Soft biometrics offer a suitable tradeoff by enhancing security through additional layers of recognition, mitigating privacy concerns through the ...

This article highlights the state of the art and critical challenges with lithography and patterning in metrology in enabling yield in next-generation high-volume manufacturing of semiconductors. Each of these technology sectors are presented with respect ...

Computer systems are increasingly interconnected, magnifying benefits and risks, especially with AI integration. Using a Delphi-based method, we interviewed technology futurists about potential trends towards 2040 and their societal impacts. Our findings ...

This article presents a technical analysis of the feature store (FS) from the perspective of machine learning (ML) model development and highlights its potential benefits. We propose key considerations in developing a workable and efficient FS for ML ...

Continuing advances in computing will require chiplets connected by the Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) to create cost-effective high-performance customized applications and new memory hierarchies. The optical UCIe can expand this ...

Northern Virginia holds the distinction of being recognized as the global hub of the Internet. Although the region’s data centers have yielded significant economic advantages, skeptics have voiced sustainability issues.

We propose a novel reinforcement learning-based adversarial example attack, Adversarial Reinforcement Learning Agent, designed to learn imperceptible perturbation that causes misclassification when added to the input of a deep learning classifier.

We propose the notion of “Femwork.” By integrating this framework into the building of databases and digital systems, we can make inclusivity a default and not an afterthought in our mandates on the future of work.

This column advocates for including artificial intelligence (AI)-specific metadata on those academic papers that are written with the help of AI in an attempt to analyze the use of such tools for disseminating research.

Deception poses threats but also opportunities in software engineering, and we must learn to recognize and manage these. Our intuition can save us from these threats and unlock the opportunities, but takes time and practice.

The desire for the founding of a games industry in unserved parts of the world is growing dramatically. In this article, I discuss how to create a games industry where there is none.

Electric power grids are vulnerable to unintentional cyber incidents and cyberattacks, but their control systems make them resilient. The electric power grids can continue to function despite degradation, denial, or destruction of their OT networks.

Industry is a leading application domain for the Internet of Things. The wide availability of industrial control systems (operational technology) combined with the Internet revolutionizes infrastructures and services, especially critical ones, providing ...

While artificial intelligence (AI) presents several threats, the threat generative AI poses is immediate and existential.

Traditional high-performance computing and modern artificial intelligence computing are converging with workflows as a common paradigm. We predict nine principles of heterogeneity and serverless computing for this convergence, from high-level programming ...
