XRDS (magazine)

XRDS, formerly Crossroads, is the flagship academic magazine for student members of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

Issues focus on computer science topics and are published quarterly in both print and electronic forms.

It is run by a group of volunteer students and supported by staff at ACM headquarters in New York City.

XRDS employs a mixed invited and unsolicited submissions model, which are refereed by a staff of permanent editors.
