Rather than rewriting decades of well-tested functionality, The Continuing Arms Race bit.ly/436Tz2x examines ways to live with the programming sins of the past while shoring up security in the most efficient manner possible. We explore a range of different options, each making significant progress towards securing legacy programs from malicious inputs. The solutions explored include enforcement-type defenses, which excludes certain program executions because they never arise during normal operation.

The Handbook of Multimodal-Multisensor Interfaces, Volume 1 https://bit.ly/42fikse provides the first authoritative resource on new computer interfaces-user input involving new media (speech, multi-touch, gestures, writing) embedded in multimodal-multisensor interfaces. These interfaces support smart phones, wearables, in-vehicle and robotic applications, and many other areas that are now highly competitive commercially. This first volume of the handbook presents relevant theory and neuroscience foundations for guiding the development of high-performance systems and provides a textbook, reference, and technology roadmap for professionals working in this area. Authors: Sharon Oviatt, Bjorn Schuller, Philip Cohen, Daniel Sonntag, Gerasimos Potamianos, & Antonio Kruger. #Modeling #Interfaces and #Systems #artificialintelligence #HCI #Gesture #Recognition #Speech and #Pen #Interfaces ACM, Association for Computing Machinery

Communities of Computing bit.ly/42Ij3SY is the first book-length history of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), founded in 1947 and with a membership today of 100,000 worldwide. This book profiles ACM's notable SIGs, active chapters, and individual members, setting ACM's history into a rich social and political context. Author: Thomas J. Misa, Charles Babbage Institute. "Expanding Research Frontiers" profiles three areas of research activity where ACM members and ACM itself shaped notable advances in computing, including computer graphics, computer security, and hypertext. #associationofcomputingmachinery #computing #communityeducation #SIG #computergraphics #computersecurity #hypertext ACM, Association for Computing Machinery

Text Data Management and Analysis by Zhai and Massung covers the major concepts, techniques, and ideas in information retrieval and text data mining. bit.ly/3AyOGml “ All you need to know about how search works.” -- Martin White Authors: ChengXiang Zhai & Sean Massung; University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. #datamining #text #data #mining #management #analysis #InformationRetrieval ACM, Association for Computing Machinery

An Architecture for Fast and General Data Processing on Large Clusters https://bit.ly/440NCnR proposes an architecture for cluster computing systems that can tackle emerging data processing workloads at scale. Early cluster computing systems handled batch processing. Our architecture also enables streaming and interactive queries, while keeping scalability and fault tolerance.
