 ACM has namedSaman Amarasinghe, Thomas and Gerd Perkins Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as the recipient of the 2025ACM-IEEE CS Ken Kennedy Award. The Ken Kennedy Award recognizes groundbreaking achievements in parallel and high performance computing. Amarasinghe is cited for fundamental contributions pioneering high-performance domain-specific languages, exceptional mentorship, and service advancing the global computing community.

Ana Veroneze Solórzano of Northeastern University andYafan Huang of The University of Iowa are the recipients of the 2025ACM-IEEE CS George Michael Memorial HPC Fellowships.Aristotle Martin of Duke University received an Honorable Mention. The George Michael Memorial Fellowship honors exceptional PhD students throughout the world whose research focus is high-performance computing (HPC) applications, networking, storage, or large-scale data analytics. The Fellowships will be formally presented at theInternational Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC25).

Each year, ACM recognizes technical and professional achievements within the computing and information technology community through its celebrated Awards Program, and welcomes nominations for candidates whose work exemplifies the best and most influential contributions to our community and society at large. ACM's award committees evaluate the contributions of candidates for various awards that span a spectrum of professional and technological accomplishments. When nominating, we ask people to consider ACM’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Most nominations are dueDecember 15, 2025, but please check the individual award pages for specifics.

ACM has relaunchedCommunications of the ACM(CACM) as a web-first publication, accessible to all without charge—including the entire backlog of CACM articles. First published in 1958, CACM is one of the most respected information technology magazines. The web-first model will allow ACM to publish articles more rapidly than before so that readers can keep abreast of the lightning-fast changes in the computing field. At the same time, researchers will be able to reference and cite valuable information and research from CACM articles more quickly. This marks another important milestone in ACM's ongoing transition to a fully open access publisher.

The October issue ofCommunications of the ACM offers a Regional Special Section of the Arab World, highlighting some of the region’s exciting, innovative, and socially relevant advances in computing and its applications.The Arab world is witnessing a surge of scientific activity driven by major educational, technological, and economic transformations, all in a very diverse socio-economic ecosystem. This special section offers a snapshot of that momentum, featuring a diverse set of contributions that blend technical rigor with societal impact.

Technological innovation is not just a byproduct of American ingenuity—it is its driving force. Most of the United States' 20th-century productivity growth stemmed from domestic breakthroughs in science and technology. And it is federal funding of basic research which has sparked and sustained the modern technological revolution. Yet despite the extraordinary returns of this investment, federal support for basic research is being sharply curtailed. This special section ofCommunications of the ACMraises the critical question: Can America remain a global innovation powerhouse if it sidelines the very engine that powered past progress?

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, Daniel Bittman curates a collection of papers about "anything related to far-out memories." He includes more than 30 years of research, from single-address-space operating systems, to software-based distributed shared memory, to far memory offload, to single-level stores for persistent memory. The featured papers challenge assumptions about isolation, sharing and locality, transparency, and movement of memory and computation. The thread that ties all these selections together in Bittman's analysis is the topic ofaddressing, orhow data references data.

ACM is aware that many in our community are concerned about potential negative effects of recent Executive Orders by the new US Administration on our work in both the US and globally. This includes concerns about p ossible consequences for ACM publishing, conferences, education, and practitioner efforts, as well as concerns about possible harms to our work on inclusion for a strong and diverse technology workforce.

ACM reaffirms its commitment to our mission and core values in all our scientific and educational activities. This includes global scientific and educational efforts dedicated to advancing the art, science, engineering, and application of computing. We will continue to serve both professional and public interests by fostering the open exchange of information and by promoting the highest professional and ethical standards.

ACM’s commitment to its mission, guided by its core values, is unchanged. We will work with members of the community to understand how new Executive Orders may affect their work as it relates to scientific, educational, and community development efforts.

Encourage your colleagues to join ACM, share the benefits of ACM and receive free gifts for participating. Your support of ACM is critical to our continuing efforts to advance computing as a science and a profession. 

TheACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct was updated in 2018 to address the significant advances in computing technology since the 1992 version, as well as the growing pervasiveness of computing in all aspects of society.

ACM offers lifelong learning resources including online books and courses from Skillsoft, TechTalks on the hottest topics in computing and IT, and more.
