The National Science Foundation (NSF) is holding a webinar on September 11, 2019 at 2:00 PM ET for the NSF/Intel Partnership on Machine Learning for Wireless Networking Systems (MLWiNS) solicitation NSF 19-591, submission requirements, and program updates. The NSF/Intel Partnership on Machine Learning for Wireless Networking Systems (MLWiNS) seeks to accelerate fundamental, broad-based research on wireless-specific machine learning (ML) techniques, towards a new wireless system and architecture design, which can dynamically access shared spectrum, efficiently operate with limited radio and network resources, and scale to address the diverse and stringent quality-of-service requirements of future wireless applications. In parallel, this program also targets research on reliable distributed ML by addressing the challenge […]

CCC Chair Mark D. Hill, CCC Vice-Chair Liz Bradley, and CCC Director Ann Schwartz Drobnis provided significant contributions to this post. The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is pleased to release the completed Artificial Intelligence (AI) Roadmap, titled A 20-Year Community Roadmap for AI Research in the US! An HTML version is available here. This roadmap is the result of a year long effort by the CCC and over 100 members of the research community, led by Yolanda Gil (University of Southern California and President of AAAI) and Bart Selman (Cornell University and President Elect of AAAI). Comments on a draft report of this roadmap were requested in May 2019. Thank you to everyone in the […]

The following is a letter to the community from James Kurose, Assistant Director, and Erwin Gianchandani, Deputy Assistant Director, of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate of Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE).  Dear Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Community, As many of you know, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has a long history of investing in education and workforce development across all areas of science and engineering, including CISE areas. For example, you may recall that last fall we highlighted one such opportunity – the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) – which recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who are pursuing full-time, research-based master’s and doctoral degrees at accredited U.S. institutions.  You […]

The following is a previously posted letter to the community from James Kurose, Assistant Director, and Erwin Gianchandani, Deputy Assistant Director, of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate of Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) about the open Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS) Division Director position. The position now closes on June 21, 2019.  Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) has convened a search committee for the next Division Director for its Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS). As many of you know, Dr. Ken Calvert, who has served as the CNS Division Director since May 2016, will […]

As many of you know, Dr. Ken Calvert, who has served as the CNS Division Director since May 2016, will be completing his rotation and returning to his institution, the University of Kentucky, at the end of this calendar year.  While at NSF/CISE, Ken has provided outstanding leadership […]

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recently held a visioning workshop in Atlanta, GA to discuss and articulate research visions for authoring rich graphical content for new workforce training. The workshop’s goal was to articulate research challenges and needs and to summarize the current state of the practice in this area. This workshop is in response to growing needs in the field and new research programs such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier: Advancing Cognitive and Physical Capabilities (FW-HTF). In this episode of the Catalyzing Computing podcast, Khari Douglas sits down with workshop organizers Holly Rushmeier (Yale) and Beth Mynatt (Georgia Tech) to discuss […]
