Editor’s note: As we’ve previously noted in this space, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is soliciting applications for its 2012 East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes for U.S. Graduate Students (EAPSI). Mike Stilman — an Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech’s School of Interactive Computing and Director of the Humanoid Robotics Lab in the Robotics and Intelligent Machines Center — participated in the 2005 EAPSI program, visiting the Digital Human Research Center (DHRC) in Tokyo, Japan, while a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University. Here Mike shares his experiences — and encourages others in computer science (and related fields) to apply. The NSF/JSPS EAPSI program was an essential experience that contributed to the formation of my identity, my world perspective and my career. I […]
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.
