The conference will host pre-conference workshops, introductory and advanced tutorials, commercial case studies, poster sessions, and the PhD Colloquium. Keynote speakers are Michael Tschanz (Disney Experiences), Amy Sardeshmukh (Disney Experiences), and Frederick Zahrn (The Walt Disney Company). The event is being held in Orlando, Florida, USA.</p></div> </div> <a href='https://meetings.informs.org/wordpress/wsc2024/' target='_blank'><img src="/binaries/ctaimagelarge/content/gallery/acm/ctas/conferences/wsc-2024.jpg" alt="Winter Simulation Conference 2024, Dec. 15-18, in Orlando, Florida, USA." /></a></div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="articles multi-cta"> <div class="two-col-alt article-block"> <div class="row" data-equalizer=""> <div class="large-8 medium-8 small-12 columns"> <div class="cta shadowed " data-equalizer-watch=""> <div class="row" style="margin: inherit;"> <div class="medium-12 columns d-table top-cta"> <div class="text-wrap"> <h2 class="text-left"><a href='https://cacm.acm.org/research/ethics-and-cultural-background-as-key-factors-for-an-attractive-metaverse/' target='_blank'>Ethics and Cultural Background as Key Factors for an Attractive Metaverse</a></h2> <div class="dek"> <p>The metaverse remains a work in progress, but improvements in how it handles ethical concerns and addresses cultural issues could push it further along the path to mass adoption. In recent years the concept of the metaverse has gained increasing resonance in both research and public discourse. In the December issue of <em>Communications of the ACM</em>, Tiziana Catarci, Giuseppina De Nicola, and Daniel Raffini investigate how the metaverse is changing the concept of user experience, identify the technical and ethical shortcomings it still faces, and explore the cultural factors favoring its adoption in South Korea.</p></div> </div> <iframe data-cookieconsent="ignore" id="ytplayer" type="text/html" src='https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/BMMBYldlsOk?si=m26W12-8cas0xftQ' allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="large-4 medium-4 small-12 columns"> <div class="cta shadowed " data-equalizer-watch=""> <div class="row" style="margin: inherit;"> <div class="medium-12 columns d-table top-cta"> <div class="text-wrap"> <span class="article-category">For Practitioners</span> <h2 class="text-left"><a href='https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3688155' target='_blank'>Program Merge: What's Deep Learning Got to Do with It?</a></h2> <div class="dek"> <p>If you regularly work with open-source code or produce software for a large organization, you're already familiar with many of the challenges posed by collaborative programming at scale. And the scale of the problem has gotten much worse. This is what led a group of researchers at MSR (Microsoft Research) to take on the task of complicated merges as a grand program-repair challenge—one they believed might be addressed at least in part by machine learning. To understand the thinking that led to this effort and then follow where that led, Erik Meijer and Terry Coatta spoke with three of the leading figures in the MSR research effort, called DeepMerge</p></div> </div> <a href='https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3688155' target='_blank'><img src="/binaries/ctaimagelarge/content/gallery/acm/ctas/publications/queue-case-studies.jpg" alt="" /></a></div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="articles single-cta"> <div class="two-col-alt article-block"> <div class="row" data-equalizer=""> <div class="large-12 medium-12 small-12 columns"> <div class="cta shadowed " data-equalizer-watch=""> <div class="row" style="margin: inherit;"> <div class="medium-4 columns"> <a href='https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3688088' target='_blank'><img src="/binaries/ctaimagelarge/content/gallery/acm/ctas/research_practice.jpg" alt="" /></a></div> <div class="medium-8 columns"> <div class="text-wrap"> <span class="article-category">For Practitioners</span> <h2 class="text-left"><a href='https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3688088' target='_blank'>Deterministic Record-and-Replay</a></h2> <div class="dek"> <p>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, Research for Practice covers the topic of deterministic record-and-replay. Deterministic record-and-replay technologies enable a faithful re-execution of a program that ran in the past. But accomplishing this requires that any nondeterministic inputs to the program be logged during execution. The selection of techniques presented here is curated by Andrew Quinn, Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at UC Santa Cruz.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="articles single-cta"> <div class="two-col-alt article-block"> <div class="row" data-equalizer=""> <div class="large-12 medium-12 small-12 columns"> <div class="cta shadowed " data-equalizer-watch=""> <div class="row" style="margin: inherit;"> <div class="medium-4 columns"> <a href='https://myacm.acm.org/' target='_blank'><img src="/binaries/ctaimagelarge/content/gallery/acm/ctas/membership/smtp-auth-relay.jpg" alt="" /></a></div> <div class="medium-8 columns"> <div class="text-wrap"> <h2 class="text-left"><a href='https://myacm.acm.org/' target='_blank'>Send Email as Your "@acm.org" Address</a></h2> <div class="dek"> <p>ACM is excited to announce a new enhancement of to the widely used ACM email forwarding service.
