The rise of blockchain has led to a renewed interest in the use of ledgers as a basic data-structure for building distributed systems.
But the use of ledgers to build distributed systems is a very old idea, playing an important role in both academic computer science (in the guise of state machine replication) and in real-world financial technology.

Pointing is an elementary interaction in virtual and augmented reality environments, and, to effectively support selection, techniques must deal with the challenges of occlusion and depth specification. Most of the previous techniques require two explicit steps to handle occlusion.

A networking researcher, traveling forward in time from 1985 to the present, would be shocked by many things — not the least of which is the fact that people are still doing networking research in 2022.

In main-memory database systems, memory can consume a substantial amount of power, comparable to that of the processors. However, existing memory power-saving mechanisms are much less effective than processor power management. Unless the system is almost idle, memory power consumption will be high.

Borgida et al. have introduced a refinement to the relational model (RM) which they call the abstract relational model (ARM) that extends the former in the following three ways:
Women in Computer Science and the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee are running Graduate Inclusivity Group events once a month for graduate students.
Everyone is welcome to attend the Graduate Inclusivity Group Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity Trivia Contest! Teams can comprise as many as five to six people and will be formed on the fly at the event. The only rule is that members of the same research lab cannot be on the same team.
