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.

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is pleased to announce another council member, Holly Yanco, has been appointed to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Information Science and Technology (ISAT) Study Group beginning in August 2024.

Yanco is very excited about joining the group and believes it’s a great opportunity to help vision new strategies that will be coming to computer science and robotics. 

“I’m eager to work with a group of people who have knowledge in interesting areas that I haven’t explored,” Yanco said. “I’m excited to go out and learn about their process, which will enable me to see visioning from another perspective.”

Yanco’s expertise in human-robot interaction, evaluation metrics, methods for robot systems and the use of robots in K-12 education to broaden participation in computer science, will be crucial in DARPA’s efforts to shape the future of computing.

Interested in other initiatives she’s been involved in? Check our blog on her involvement in bringing robotics to middle school students here.
