In this episode of ACM ByteCast, Bruke Kifle hosts ACM Fellow Ramón Cáceres, a computer science researcher and software engineer. His areas of focus have included systems and networks, mobile and edge computing, mobility modeling, security, and privacy. Most recently he was at Google, where he built large-scale privacy infrastructure. Previously, Ramón was a researcher at Bell Labs, AT&T Labs, and IBM Research. He also held leadership positions in several startup companies. In addition to being the first ACM Fellow from the Dominican Republic, he is an IEEE Fellow and has served on the board of the CRA Committee on Widening Participation in Computing Research. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley.

Register now for the next free ACM TechTalk, "Software Product Management: From Opinions to Data-Driven Experimentation," presented on Tuesday, August 20 at 11:00 AM ET/15:00 UTC by Jan Bosch, Professor at Chalmers University Technology, Sweden. Will Tracz, former chair of ACM SIGSOFT and member of the ACM Professional Development Committee, will moderate the questions and answers session following the talk. Continue the discussion on ACM's Discourse Page.

This book provides a data-driven debate on whether the new world we’re creating will be a technological utopia or an AI-powered dystopia and give guidance on how to aim for the best future we can. It answers over a dozen of the most pressing questions we face as artificial intelligence and spatial computing accelerates the digitization of our world. Find out why our actions in the next decade could determine the trajectory of our species for countless millennia.

This course is designed to help you prepare for the AZ-500 exam and strengthen your skills in implementing secure solutions, services, identities, and operations within the Azure platform. Throughout the course, we’ll take a good look at the technologies you’ll need to know for the exam and help you not only understand what each service does, but how you can apply the knowledge you gain here in your own environment.

In this Challenge Lab, you will configure the required infrastructure requirements in Azure to support automation and reporting for updates to on-premises based systems.

This path focuses on the skills and knowledge required to become a fully functioning Kubernetes Administrator. You’ll begin with basic administration tasks and understanding the capabilities that the Kubernetes platform provides. You’ll cover each segment of knowledge needed to fully administer everything you’ll need as a Kubernetes administrator.

ACM Selects are themed shortlists curated by subject matter experts for both serious and emerging computing professionals, with the goal of providing new ways to discover relevant resources. Please visit our archive of Selects on a variety of subjects which is available here.

Written by leading domain experts for software engineers, ACM Case Studies provide an in-depth look at how software teams overcome specific challenges by implementing new technologies, adopting new practices, or a combination of both. Often through first-hand accounts, these pieces explore what the challenges were, the tools and techniques that were used to combat them, and the solution that was achieved.

The Distinguished Speakers Program (DSP) is one of ACM's most valued outreach programs, providing universities, corporations, event and conference planners, and local ACM chapters with direct access to top technology leaders and innovators from nearly every sector of the computing industry. ACM will cover the cost of transportation for the speaker to travel to your event.
