The Link Magazine | Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science

The magazine of Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science

Its name recognizes the pioneering work of two of the School of Computer Science's co-founders, Allen Newell and Herb Simon, who invented the use of linked-list data structures for representing complex information.

But it also serves as the link between the School of Computer Science and more than 10,000 alumni, colleagues, parents and other friends around the world.

Recent Issues

Much more than the sum of the parts

Modern artificial intelligence research integrates different approaches and disciplines—and so does a writer trying to understand the state of the field in the 21st century
Then and Now: The 2,850-mile, no-hands road trip

In 1995, Dean Pomerleau (CS’92) and Todd Jochem (CS’93,’96) of CMU took an epic journey from Pittsburgh to San Diego.
Getting your fair share

Divvying up a check, rent or academic credit can lead to hurt feelings and worse. Spliddit hopes to change that
Like Lou, living in hope

In the face of long odds, Neil Alexander refused to give up.
Soft, but not weak

Real-life “soft robotics” aren’t that dissimilar from those explored in the hit movie "Big Hero 6"
Meeting the demand

SCS now turns away almost 95 percent of those who apply to its undergraduate program, which leads to two obvious questions: Can more students be admitted without diluting the qualities that made the program so desirable in the first place? If so, how?
Alumni Snapshot: Daniel Avrahami (CS'05,'07)

The goal of bringing a positive experience to computer users led Daniel Avrahami to pursue a master’s degree in HCI at Carnegie Mellon.
Alumni Snapshot: Poornima Kaniarasu (CS'13)
