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.

Blue Sky ideas logoThe Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recently sponsored a Blue Sky Ideas Conference Track at the 20th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, May 3-7th, 2021, online. 

The emphasis of this special track was on visionary ideas, long-term challenges, new research opportunities, and controversial debate. It served as an incubator for innovative, risky, and provocative ideas, and aimed to provide a forum for publishing and presenting these without being constrained by result-oriented standards.
