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.
Martha Pollack, University of Michigan Professor of EECS and past Dean of their School of Information, has been selected as Michigan’s next Provost.
This is another sign of the increasing influence of computer scientists in leadership positions at forward-looking universities: Stanford (John Hennessy, President), Harvey Mudd (Maria Klawe, President), MIT (Eric Grimson, Chancellor), now Michigan.
Congratulations Martha!
