The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) will hold a virtual workshop the week of Oct. 5-9 (with a reception on Fri., Oct. 2) to address the physics & engineering challenges in adiabatic/ reversible classical computing. This workshop will gather the research community in this field, lay a common foundation of existing state-of-the-art knowledge, and work together to prepare a comprehensive workshop report that can make the case for a major new initiative effectively to federal-level decision-makers. Workshop participants will be selected by invitation only. We seek short position papers to help us create the agenda for the workshop and select attendees. If you are interested in attending the workshop, please submit […]
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.

August 5th, 2020 / in Announcements, CCC / by Khari DouglasMIT Technology Review’s 35 Innovators Under the Age of 35 2020
August 4th, 2020 / in Announcements, Research News / by Helen WrightMIT Technology Review publishes an annual list of 35 innovators under the age of 35, and they recently released their list of innovators for 2020. The list features over 20 innovators who are solving problems related to or using computer science. Some highlights from the list include: Leila Pirhaji, ReviveMed – Pirhaji built an AI-based tool for measuring tiny molecules in the body called metabolites, and her work could help us better detect and treat diseases. Measuring and identifying metabolites is expensive and time-consuming, and fewer than 5% of metabolites in a patient can be identified using common technologies. So Pirhaji developed a platform that uses machine learning to do it much […]
Blue Sky Conference Track at ACM HT2020
July 28th, 2020 / in Announcements, Blue Sky / by Helen WrightThe Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recently sponsored a Blue Sky Ideas Conference Track at the 31st ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media (HT’20), July 13-15 2020, online. The Blue Sky Ideas talk presentations were aimed at presenting ideas and visions that can stimulate the research community to pursue new directions, e.g., new problems, new application domains, or new methodologies that are likely to stimulate significant new research. First Place- Bad Character: Who do We Want our Hypertexts to Be? Mark Bernstein Second Place- Thoughts Reflection Machine Claus Atzenbeck and Daniel Rohner Third Place- Games/Hypertext David E. Millard CCC provides travel awards to the winners. We encourage you to apply for a Blue Sky Ideas […]
Postdoctoral Networking Tour in Artificial Intelligence
July 27th, 2020 / in Announcements / by Helen WrightAre you a Postdoc in Artificial Intelligence? Then you might consider applying to the Postdoctoral Networking Tour in Artificial Intelligence (Postdoc-NeT-AI). The purpose of the Postdoc-NeT-AI, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), is to connect international early-career researchers with the research community in artificial intelligence in Germany. For one week, selected postdoctoral researchers from all over the world will have the chance to connect with leading researchers and institutions in their fields. The first call is out, and applications are possible until 16 August 2020. Comprehensive information is available here. The program provides: coverage of all program-related costs in Germany (accommodation, domestic travel, most meals) a […]
Invitation to Participate in a Study to Investigate the Compounding Impacts of Racism & COVID-19 on Learning & Employment in Computing & Technology (CIRCLE-CT)
July 22nd, 2020 / in Announcements, CRA / by Helen WrightAnitaB.org, The National Center for Women & Technology (NCWIT) and the STARS Computing Corps (STARS) are conducting a survey to understand the impact of the global pandemics on the conditions of work and educational environments related to in computing and technical degree programs and professions. Through the Investigating Compounding Impacts of Racism & COVID-19 on Learning & Employment in Computing & Technology (CIRCLE-CT) Study we are gathering responses from individuals across the computing and technical ecosystem including K-12 teachers; post-secondary program leaders, educators and students; and individuals in the computing and technical workforce and tech startup community. We invite you to participate in the 10-minute survey by visiting https://anitaborginstitute.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6fYZUZBl53lTMWN . For more information […]
Nominations Open for 2021 Microsoft Research Fellowships
July 20th, 2020 / in Announcements, research horizons, Research News / by Helen WrightNominations are now open for the 2021 Microsoft Research Ada Lovelace Fellowship and Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship. Doctoral students must be nominated by the department chair’s office in their field of study by August 14, 2020. Students will then be contacted to submit their proposals by September 21, 2020. The Microsoft Research Ada Lovelace Fellowship aims to increase the pipeline of diverse talent receiving advanced degrees in computing-related fields by providing a research funding opportunity for doctoral students who are underrepresented in the field of computing. This includes those who self-identify as a woman, African American, Black, Hispanic, Latinx, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, person with a disability, and/or LGBTQI+.
