Computer Highlights Society Magazines

A summary of articles recently published in IEEE Computer Society periodicals. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/R01HPSJl2-E is a video segment in which CS President David Alan Grier discusses how two forces affect every organization in general and the IEEE Computer Society in particular: the forces of unification and diversity. He shows how those forces diverge and intersect while describing how participants in an IEEE Computer Society conference in Cambridge, Mass., used electronic conference tools to stay engaged while the city was on lockdown during the manhunt for the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing.
