ACM-W News
New ACM-W Initiative Seeks to Recruit, Retain Women in Computing
A new ACM-W project, titled "Recruiting Young Women Into and Retaining Them in Computing-Related Majors: Real Projects for Real Clients Courses (RPRCCs), an Initiative Based Upon 35 Years of Psychology Research" is being spearheaded by David Klappholz, a professor at Stevens Institute of Technology who teaches junior- and senior-level courses that require students to work in teams on projects for actual clients. The RPRCC project is based on A 35-year-long psychological study that followed hundreds of mathematically- and scientifically-talented youth from middle school through middle age. The study found that most females choose organic professions, that is, fields involving people and other living things; most females have considerably higher verbal skills than males, accounting for their preference for inter-personal interaction over solo work; and that most males choose inorganic professions—fields involving machines, abstractions, and so on, accounting for the gender imbalance in computing, engineering, and physics. "The point of an initiative to recruit young women into and to retain them in computing-related undergraduate majors," says Klappholz, "is that only about 30% of the typical software development project (person-hours, etc.) involves solo inorganic work, that is, work involving writing or testing code. The majority of the remaining 70% has a highly organic, teamwork- and interpersonal interaction-based nature, especially if the software's client or customer is a socially relevant agency, such as an adoption agency, a child-care agency, a poverty agency, etc." The RPRCC initiative is based on middle school, high school, and freshman undergraduate courses in which students do the highly organic work required to produce the artifacts necessary for students in later programming courses to implement real, useful software for real clients. Among other aspects, the initiative involves training teachers to teach RPRCCs. For more information and to get involved, please contact David Klappholz at [email protected] or at or at (908) 447-2346 (mobile number).
ACM-W Ambassador's Report: In Germany, Countering Stereotype of CS as a "Man's World"
Maria Knobelsdorf, ACM-W's German Ambassador, provides a snapshot of women in computing in her country through the years, beginning in 1970. She finds that participation of CS female students still remains under 20%, due in part to the fact that CS is not taught nationwide in every grade, leading to misperceptions about career opportunities in CS; the persistent cliché of a lonely male programmer in front of a computer-screen; the lack of good role models; and other factors. Read her entire post at ACM-W's News Blog.
Publications News
Education Journal Transitioning to ACM Transactions on Computing Education
The Journal on Educational Resources in Computing (JERIC) will soon emerge as ACM Transactions on Computing Education (TOCE).

In ACM Queue, Sun Engineer Jim Waldo Examines Scaling in Games, Virtual Worlds
As part of ACM Queue's focus on game development, Jim Waldo of Sun Microsystems examines scaling in online games and virtual worlds. For systems programmers who think they are already familiar with scaling, Waldo has a warning: everything you know is wrong. While some problems may be similar to those found in enterprise computing, massive-multiplayer online game development has its own unique set of scaling challenges. Waldo discusses current scaling strategies as well as his work on Project Darkstar, a research project from Sun that's building a server-side infrastructure that will exploit multithreaded, multicore chips while presenting programmers with the illusion that they're developing in a single-threaded environment.
interactions Reports: Designing Products that Meet Social, Cultural Concerns to Succeed in Global Markets
Addressing the need to ensure appropriate social and cultural resonance of products and services, the January+February 2009 issue of interactions magazine explores companies that have tried and failed to meet this critical requirement of the global marketplace. Topics range from selling products in emerging markets for which they have not been designed, to forcing new technology on aging customers; from designing homogeneous homes that do not fit the heterogeneous lives of their residents, to arbitrarily separating hardware, software, and interface designs that should work together to benefit users. interactions, a bimonthly publication of the ACM Media Group, focuses on the interactions among experiences, people, and technology.
