The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) will be sponsoring a visioning activity on Sociotechnical Cybersecurity. As a part of this effort, the workshop organizing committee has released a call for white papers in order to both assist us in organizing the workshop and in selecting attendees. Authors of informative and well-crafted white papers may be invited to the Sociotechnical Cybersecurity workshop. Read the full call for proposals below: Sociotechnical Cybersecurity Workshop Call For White Papers We are holding two CCC-sponsored workshops, on December 12th-13th and in the first half of 2017, with the goal of developing a small set of grand challenges to set research directions for the discipline of cybersecurity, with the understanding that […]
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 15th, 2016 / in Announcements, policy, Research News / by Helen WrightNIST Seeks Grant Proposals for Disaster Resilience Research Studies National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) on July 26, 2016 to help further President Obama’s April 2016 commitment to enhancing the nation’s built resilient infrastructure. This competition is designed to encourage research in the areas of windstorm impact reduction and structural performance, disaster and failure studies, wildland urban interface, and national earthquake hazards reduction. The Disaster Resilience (DR) Research Grants Program seeks applications from eligible applicants to conduct research aimed at advancing the principles of resilience in building design and building codes and standards. Research proposals must support the overall effort of developing science-based building codes by […]

August 8, 2016 Dear Colleagues, With this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Directorates for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and Engineering (ENG) announce their intention to support, foster, and accelerate fundamental research that advances the positive use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to save lives, increase safety and efficiency, and enable more effective science and engineering research. These research investments will be made through existing […]
South Big Data Hub DataStart fellow reflects on lessons learned
August 9th, 2016 / in CCC, NSF, Research News / by Helen WrightThe following is a blog post from Jonathan Ortiz, a Data Analytics and Big Data student at The University of Texas at Austin. Ortiz participated in data.world, an Austin data startup, through a DataStart fellowship managed by the South Big Data Hub with support from the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). This blog was originally published by HUBBUB!, the South Big Data Hubs Blog. As the summer semester passes its halfway point, I take a moment to reflect on just what an amazing summer it has been and think ahead to what is in store for the second half. I am a Data Analytics and Big Data student at The […]
Whistling Past the Graveyard: What the End of Moore’s Law Means to All of Computing
August 8th, 2016 / in CRA, research horizons, Research News / by Helen WrightThe following is a guest blog post from Tom Conte of Georgia Tech. Is “Moore’s Law” ending? If so, what does this mean to all of us in the field of Computing? These questions were discussed at a July 2016 panel at Computing Research Association Conference at Snowbird that included a technologist (Paolo Gargini, Intel fellow-emeritus), three computer architects (Profs. David Brooks of Harvard, Mark D. Hill of Wisconsin-Madison, and Tom Conte of Georgia Tech), and a quantum computer scientist (Dr. Krysta Svore of Microsoft Research), organized by Conte and Margaret Martonosi of Princeton. Is “Moore’s Law” ending? The answer depends on what you think Moore’s Law means. First, if Moore’s […]
