As you know, I am working my way through Communications of the ACM, beginning to end, stopping to read a handful of articles from each year. These aren't necessarily the papers with the highest citations, but instead things that catch my eye from the point of view of the 2020s. A full two years ago I finished the first decade of CACM; now I have finished the second, so let's index them. (Hmm, I've fallen out of the habit of giving them descriptive names, I should go back to that.)
- Spelunking CACM, vol. 11 (1968): Operating Systems Bonanza and Ethics, but not the ARPAnet!
- Spelunking CACM, Vol. 12 (1969): CAD, encouraging(?) minority participation in computing, and discrete event simulation
- Spelunking CACM, Vol. 13 (1970): Nucleus, Bloom filters and magnetic tape
- Spelunking CACM, Vol. 14 (1971): Flynn's taxonomy
- Spelunking CACM, Vol. 15 (1972): Hough transforms, Dijkstra on correctness
- Spelunking CACM: Some Thoughts on Operating Systems (a "special issue" posting)
- Spelunking CACM, Vol. 16 (1973): threaded code and too many PhDs
- Spelunking CACM, Vol. 17 (1974): Clipping Polygons, Parallelism, and UNIX
- Spelunking CACM (1975): Phong Shading
- Spelunking CACM (1976): PhD production, data flow
- Spelunking CACM, Vol. 20 (1977): Certifying information flow, an early network routing protocol
