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 […]
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.

In this episode, Hill discusses the importance of computer architecture, the 3C model of cache behavior, and overcoming the […]
Great Innovative Idea: Computing for Computational Biology and Digital AI
June 15th, 2021 / in Great Innovative Idea, research horizons, Research News / by Maddy HunterThe following Great Innovative Idea is from Somali Chaterji, Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue University where she leads the Innovatory for Cells and Neural Machines. The Idea The idea behind my work is that there is strength in numbers — a distributed computing system that needs to run a computationally heavy application on scarce resources can do so by pooling together many weak to moderate devices in a federated setting and with security guarantees. The secret sauce in my work is to do the right level of approximation at the right point in space (which device) and at the right point in time […]

National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Task Force
June 10th, 2021 / in Announcements, CCC, NSF, research horizons, Research News / by Helen WrightThe National Science Foundation (NSF) and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced the government, academic, and private sector representatives who will serve on the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Task Force as directed by Congress in the “National AI Initiative Act of 2020.” The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) and its parent organization the Computing Research Association (CRA) provided significant input to policymakers drafting provisions for the National AI Initiative Act of 2020. In 2018-2019, the CCC brought together over 100 members of the research community, led by Yolanda Gil (University of Southern California) and Bart Selman (Cornell University) to come up with a research roadmap for AI. Fei Fei Li (Stanford University), […]
CIFellows Spotlight – Activating Urban Space through Interactive and Augmented Reality Interfaces
June 9th, 2021 / in CCC, CIFellows, CIFellows Spotlight, research horizons / by Maddy HunterMinka Stoyanova began her CIFellowship in January 2021 after receiving her PhD from City University of Hong Kong in October 2019. Stoyanova is at University of Colorado Boulder working with Reece Auguiste, Associate Professor of Media, Communication and Information at UC Boulder. Current Project My current research project is focused on how digital information technologies can be used to create embodied and affective experiences in urban environments. Specifically, the project is aimed at using mobile phone augmented reality technology and digital storytelling methods to situate historic and community narratives within urban environments. Historic material held in museums and archives often becomes detached from the communities and the locations it represents. […]
