Congratulations to ACM Fellow Brad A. Myers of Carnegie Mellon for receiving the 2025 Charles Babbage Institute Human-Computer Interaction ( ) History Prize!

Myers was honored for his book, Pick, Click, Flick!: The Story of Interaction Techniques—a landmark work exploring the evolution of how we interact with computers. https://tinyurl.com/299epyzh

Described as “a reflective and highly impressive monument of a book,” it’s a must-read for anyone passionate about HCI.

👏 Well-deserved recognition!

Candidate Multilinear Maps https://books.acm.org/titles describes plausible lattice-based constructions with properties that approximate the sought after multilinear maps in hard-discrete-logarithm groups.

The security of our constructions relies on hard problems in ideal lattices, which can be viewed as extensions of the assumed hardness of the NTRU function. These new constructions radically enhance our tool set and open a floodgate of applications.
A survey of these applications is provided.

Smarter Than Their Machines: Oral Histories of the Pioneers of Interactive Computing is based on histories archived at the Charles Babbage Institute, University of Minnesota.

Included are the oral histories of some key individuals of the computer industry that led to interactive computing, such as: Richard Bloch, Gene Amdahl, Herbert W. Robinson, Sam Wyly, J.C.R. Licklider, Ivan Sutherland, Larry Roberts, Robert Kahn, Marvin Minsky, Michael Dertouzos, John Cullinane and Joseph Traub.

Many scientific problems are amenable to human problem solving skills that complement computational power. This book presents a framework for mapping open scientific problems into video games.
Get A Framework for Scientific Discovery through Video Games here: https://books.acm.org/titles

Author: Seth Cooper, University of Washington.
In the video game Foldit (website Fold.it), players have contributed to novel discoveries in protein structure prediction, protein design, and protein structure refinement algorithms.

The framework allows for the continual coevolution of the players and the game to each other: as players gain expertise through gameplay, the game changes to become a better tool.

We can resolve the tension between security and features by leveraging the trust a user has in one device to enable them to securely use another commodity device or service, without sacrificing the performance and features expected of commodity systems.

Linking the World's Information https://books.acm.org/titles is a compilation of articles on the original ideas of a true visionary, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and the subsequent research and development work he has led, helping to realize the Web's full potential.

It covers Berners-Lee's development of the key protocols, naming schemes, and markup languages that led to his "world wide web" program and ultimately to the Web as we know it today.

The Societal Impacts of Algorithmic Decision-Making by Manish Raghavan https://books.acm.org/titles

While easy solutions are not presented here, there are actionable insights for those who seek to deploy algorithms responsibly.

The research presented within this book will hopefully contribute to broader efforts to safeguard societal values while still taking advantage of the promise of algorithmic decision-making.

DIGITAL DREAMS HAVE BECOME NIGHTMARES: WHAT WE MUST DO https://bit.ly/48YtxRh
Readers will become more knowledgeable, wiser, cautiously optimistic, and determined to affect positive changes through their design, creation, and use of technology.

Ronald M. Baecker (author) begins by introducing the amazing progress made in digital technologies over the past 80 years.
The second part of the book describes the myriad adverse side effects and unanticipated challenges that arose as those dreams were pursued and achieved.

Examples include rampant misinformation on social media, ransomware, autonomous weapons, and the premature use of AI before it is reliable and safe.

The women of ACM-W co-founded some of the most influential institutions that recruit, retain, and celebrate women in computing.
Rendering History https://bit.ly/441fxoK allows a sample of ACM-W members to inspire and motivate by narrating accounts of their lives. Edited by Gloria Townsend.

The first section provides a traditional history that details the evolution of ACM-W’s projects.
In the next section, Rendering History allows the women of ACM-W to tell their own stories. What motivated them to trade personal time and energy for work that would change the face of computing for women and young girls?
