The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recently released the Leadership in Embedded Security workshop report. The workshop was organized by former CCC Council Member Kevin Fu (University of Michigan), Wayne Burleson (UMass Amherst), and Farinaz Koushanfar (UC, San Diego). It brought together around fifty academics, industrial researchers, and government agency program managers who work close to the topic of embedded security. The workshop included deep dive group discussions as well as short visionary talks by several international speakers to lend perspectives on successful strategies for funding embedded security research overseas. The report, titled Grand Challenges for Embedded Security Research in a Connected World, focuses on the challenges and potential research opportunities across five […]

A new episode of the Computing Community Consortium‘s (CCC) podcast, Catalyzing Computing, is now available. This is part two of Khari Douglas’ interview with Liz Bradley, the current Vice-chair of the CCC Council. Bradley has been with the Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder since January of 1993, and her current research focuses on nonlinear dynamics and chaos, as well as scientific computation and AI. In this episode we discuss nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory in pop culture, and the future of artificial intelligence.

Computing technologies have revolutionized the world, from how we grow food to our social interactions. At the core of this revolution is computing hardware, the shrinking of which has allowed for powerful computation in the palm of your hand. Unfortunately, Moore’s law is coming to an end and we will no longer be able to build more powerful computers using traditional CMOS-based hardware. What other bases for computing hardware are out there? The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) organized the Next Generation Computer Hardware scientific session at the 2020 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual meeting in February to discuss this topic and share some potential avenues for future research.

In August 2019 the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), released A 20-Year Community Roadmap for Artificial Intelligence Research in the US. The Roadmap is the output of a series of three workshops that were held in late 2018 and early 2019, with the goal of identifying challenges and opportunities to effectively inform future federal priorities, including future AI R&D Investments. The CCC and AAAI shared the roadmap findings during the Artificial Intelligence Research: A Community Roadmap scientific session at the 2020 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting, which took place in Seattle, Washington in February, 2020. The session was moderated […]

Over the last twenty years, the proliferation of Internet access, coupled with the explosion of online social networks, has allowed people around the world to share their ideas and experiences with the click of a button. Beauty vloggers craft YouTube tutorials, gamers stream their performances live over Twitch, and journalists share and source news from across the world through Twitter. This web of content is always expanding—much of the information within it is true, however, plenty of it is not. How can we determine fact from fiction in this rapidly shifting information landscape? In response to these emerging concerns the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) organized the Detecting, Combating, and Identifying […]
