About the Product

Computing Reviews (CR) aims to provide access to current research, theory
and applications in all sub disciplines of computing via the review medium.
CR compiles expert, unbiased critical reviews of current publications of
note in computing. The goals of CR are to provide an overview of
developments in computing to both specialists and generalists who wish to
survey the field as a whole; isolate and illuminate quality materials; and
build and enhance communities of computer scientists and others by promoting
the exchange of ideas.

Computing Reviews helps readers manage the large amount of new material
published in computer science by pointing them to the best new journal
articles and books.

Readers also link to full text, receive customized alerts and read multiple
points of view.

CR has a Web-based production system where 1,000 highly qualified reviewers
choose or are assigned books and articles to review and then write and
submit their reviews online.

Nineteen category editors, experts in fields across all of computer science,
read the reviews online and then select the best ones. New reviews are
published  daily into the Web-based Reader's module for the university and
corporate-based reader community.

Computing Reviews is a joint effort between Reviews.com and the Association
for Computing Machinery (ACM). Reviews.com is responsible for software
design and implementation, editorial and content production. ACM provides
editorial guidance and recruits category editors. Together they design new
features, recruit and qualify new reviewers and build communities of readers
and reviewers around topics in computer science.
