A reminder that white papers for a mid-cycle update to the Robotics Roadmap are due January 9, 2023. Through support from the Computing Community Consortium (CCC), the US National Robotics Roadmap was first created thirteen years ago by a group of 120 people from industry and academia. It has since been used by government agencies, universities and companies as a reference and call to action from the robotics community. The first roadmap was published in 2009, then revised in 2013, 2016, and 2020. Our objective is to develop a short mid-cycle update, identifying gaps that are not being addressed in current research, in funding opportunities, at companies, and in the government, which need to be addressed […]
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.

CIFellow Richard Canevez on the Ukraine Crisis and Expressions of Dissent through Social Informatics
December 14th, 2022 / in CIFellows, CIFellows Spotlight / by Maddy HunterThe following is a guest post from CIFellow Richard Canevez. Canevez began his CIFellowship in 2020 after reciving his PhD from Pennsylvania State University. He is currently at the University of Hawaii at Manoa where he is mentored by Jenifer Sunrise Winter. When Computing Community Consortium (CCC) approached me to put together a blog post about the evolution of my research, I was excited for the opportunity, but also apprehensive about the topic. This is, on the one hand, writing about the research funded by CCC through the CIFellows program that I hope will serve as more than a mere status report and instead provide thoughts and guidance for future […]
CCC Council Member Nominations Open
December 13th, 2022 / in Announcements, CCC / by Haley GriffinThe Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is charged with enabling the pursuit of innovative, high-impact computing research that aligns with pressing national and global challenges.
