Cerf, a luminary of our field, is free to serve Google as its “chief evangelist,” as his byline notes. ACM should not allow itself to be used as its platform.

Editor-in-Chief’s response:

It’s a good point that ACM aspires to balance coverage of advanced technologies from leading academic researchers, government researchers, companies, and other leaders around the world. This case was a failure of expediency and familiarity. Vinton Cerf’s employer certainly has no monopoly on advanced technology in language translation (for example, Microsoft Translator, Amazon Translate, Baidu Translate) and image recognition (for example, Sense Time, Amazon Rekognition, Bing Visual search). We will continue to strive to do better!

ACM Transactions on Computing
for Healthcare (HEALTH)

A multidisciplinary journal for high-quality original work on how computing is improving healthcare

Computing for Healthcare has emerged as an important and growing research area. By using smart devices, the Internet of Things for health, mobile computing, machine learning, cloud computing and other computing based technologies, computing for healthcare can improve the effectiveness, efficiency, privacy, safety, and security of healthcare (e.g., personalized healthcare, preventive healthcare, ICU without walls, and home hospitals).

ACM Transactions on Computing for Healthcare (HEALTH) is the premier journal for the publication of high-quality original research papers, survey papers, and challenge papers that have scientific and technological results pertaining to how computing is improving healthcare.

This journal is multidisciplinary, intersecting CS, ECE, mechanical engineering, bio-medical engineering, behavioral and social science, psychology, and the health field, in general. All submissions must show evidence of their contributions to the computing field as informed by healthcare. We do not publish papers on large pilot studies, diseases, or other medical assessments/results that do not have novel computing research results. Datasets and other artifacts needed to support reproducibility of results are highly encouraged.

Proposals for special issues are encouraged.
