Driving advances in hardware, devices, and cyber-physical systems that expand the possibilities of computing.
Big Advances in Data-Center Networking
These are exciting times for networking researchers. New developments in data-center networking—and the new efficiencies those advances offer—are making this one of the hottest fields in computing. Major figures in networking and communications research gather…
Quantum Computing: the Next Frontier
In 1981, Richard Feynman proposed a device called a “quantum computer” that would take advantage of methods founded on the laws of quantum physics and promise computational speed-ups over classical methods. In the last three…
Towards a Research Platform for Internet of Things (IoT): Complete Session
We are living in a world of connected devices. These devices can take a number of shapes and forms: from tablet computers and smartphones, to sensors in the home, to embedded and wearable computers. Increasingly,…
The Beast from Below—How Changes in the Hardware Ecosystem will Disrupt Computer Science
For decades, computer scientists have relied on steadily advancing hardware capabilities. Moore’s Law coupled with Dennard Scaling have improved von Neumann computing by many orders of magnitude. Notably, the underlying changes have been largely invisible…
