Today marks the end of the following Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Council member’s time on the Council. We would like to highlight them once again and thank them for their exceptional dedication and service to the CCC and to the broader computing research community. Mark D. Hill, Microsoft and University of Wisconsin, Madison Mark joined the Council in 2013 and was Chair from 2018-2020. During his tenure as Chair, he spearheaded CIFellows 2020, the 2019 AI Roadmap, and two visioning workshops on Identifying Research Challenges in Post Quantum Cryptography Migration and Cryptographic Agility and Wide-Area Data Analytics. David Parkes, Harvard University David joined the Council in 2018 and organized the […]

The computer and information science and engineering (CISE) fields can benefit greatly from collaborations with the social, behavioral, and economic science (SBE) fields. Systems that make our lives easier—such as autonomous vehicles, wearables, intelligent agents, electronic health records, and telepresence robots—are all socio-technical systems. As stated in a recent National Science Foundation (NSF) report on Harnessing the Computational and Social Sciences to Solve Critical Societal Problems from a May 2020 roundtable,  “Workplace relationships, media markets, health delivery systems, and criminal justice organizations are all increasingly characterized by a complex mixture of human actors and institutions on the one hand, and digital platforms and algorithms on the other hand. Efforts to […]

The following is a message from the new CRA-I Industry Committee.  The CRA-Industry Committee is hosting a series of virtual roundtable meetings focused on issues of interest to our computing research industry partners.

In order to attend this event, please register here. Please forward this to your appropriate colleagues and encourage them to attend! CRA-Industry Virtual Roundtable on Corporate Responsibility and Computing Research July 14, 2021 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM Eastern Time Today, more companies are deliberately extending their social responsibility initiatives at the behest of investors, customers, and employees. How should industry […]

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC), along with Code 8.7, is pleased to announce the release of the CCC / Code 8.7 Applying AI in the Fight Against Modern Slavery Workshop Report. This March 2020 workshop brought together over 50 members of the computing research community along with anti-slavery practitioners and survivors to lay out a research roadmap aimed at applying AI to the fight against human trafficking.  The primary goal was to explore ways in which long-range research in artificial intelligence (AI) could be applied to the fight against human trafficking. Building on the kickoff Code 8.7 conference held at the headquarters of the United Nations in February 2019, the […]

A new episode of the Computing Community Consortium‘s (CCC) official podcast, Catalyzing Computing, is now available. In this episode, Khari Douglas (CCC Senior Program Associate) interviews Dr. Mark D. Hill, the Gene M. Amdahl and John P. Morgridge Professor Emeritus of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Chair Emeritus of the CCC Council. This episode was recorded prior to Dr. Hill joining Microsoft as a Partner Hardware Architect with Azure. His research interests include parallel computer system design, memory system design, computer simulation, deterministic replay and transactional memory. In this episode, Hill discusses the importance of computer architecture, the 3C model of cache behavior, and overcoming the […]
