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.

A Picture of A Black Hole Shows How Cool Computer Science Is

April 30th, 2019 / in Announcements, research horizons, Research News / by Helen Wright

Contributions to this post were graciously provided by CCC Director Ann Schwartz Drobnis and CCC Chair Mark Hill. Computer science is cool, but you already knew that. You are in this field because you find it cool, exciting, and limitless in its discovery potential. What about the rest of this country? What do they think of computer science? How do we, as proud stewards of this research area, get them equally excited about the potential of this field? I know. We (collective “we” meaning computing researchers) helped obtain the first image of a black hole, that is beyond cool—it’s really, really cold at 10-14 Kelvin or about −459.67 °F. Earlier […]
