4.0 out of 5 stars
Wide-ranging with deep detail,
By wiredweird "wiredweird" (Earth, or somewhere nearby) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Acm Computing Surveys (Magazine)
As the name says, this journal publishes 'survey' articles. Each one is a whirlwind tour of some subspecialty, written by an expert in the field. Since they are surveys, they offer a lot more breadth than depth, pointing out the many directions in which some topic has grown. And, always, there's a strong bibliography at the end. Often, that's the most helpful part of the article - the text tells me why I should care about the other references, and the bibliography tells me where to find them.
The topics cover the whole range of computing, and there are usually just three to five articles a month. That means that many issues will miss the interests of any one reader. When an article does touch on an area that matters to me, though, it's very helpful. I find it worth the wait. //wiredweird (PS: ACM member prices for Computing Surveys are lots less than the Amazon price, even it you add in the price of membership. You are a member, aren't you?) |
