The following is a special contribution to this blog by Keith Marzullo, division director for the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS). Last week, the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) announced a new effort – Mid-Scale Infrastructure (NSFCloud) – under its CISE Research Infrastructure (CRI) program, seeking to support research infrastructure that enables the academic research community to develop and experiment with novel cloud architectures addressing emerging challenges, including real-time and high-confidence systems. This solicitation integrates discussions of a subcommittee of the CISE Advisory Committee focused on Mid-Scale Infrastructure over the last year, as well as white […]
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.

September 10th, 2013 / in Uncategorized / by Ann DrobnisCCC Launching New Postdoc Best Practices Program with Funding Opportunities
September 9th, 2013 / in Uncategorized / by Ann DrobnisDeveloping new talent to carry out high impact research is of paramount importance to the Computer Science & Engineering research enterprise. An appointment as a postdoctoral researcher is an increasingly common starting point for a research career. The National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer & Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Directorate and the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recognize the critical importance in having an excellent postdoc training experience to help junior researchers advance their careers. With NSF’s backing, the CCC is announcing a program to develop, implement and institutionalize the implementation of best practices for supporting postdocs. This program will award grants to institutions or consortia of institutions to implement best practices for […]
Calling for Proposals: Creating Visions for Computing Research
September 6th, 2013 / in Uncategorized / by Ann DrobnisThe mission of Computing Research Association’s (CRA) Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community and enable the pursuit of innovative, high-impact research. CCC conducts activities that strengthen the research community, articulate compelling research visions, and align those visions with pressing national and global challenges. CCC communicates the importance of those visions to policymakers, government and industry stakeholders, the public, and the research community itself. In accordance with the mission, CCC is issuing a new call for proposals for workshops that will create exciting visions and agendas for research at the frontiers of computing. From the solicitation: Successful workshops will articulate new research visions, galvanize community interest in those visions, and […]
