The computer and information science and engineering (CISE) fields can benefit greatly from collaborations with the social, behavioral, and economic science (SBE) fields. Systems that make our lives easier—such as autonomous vehicles, wearables, intelligent agents, electronic health records, and telepresence robots—are all socio-technical systems. As stated in a recent National Science Foundation (NSF) report on Harnessing the Computational and Social Sciences to Solve Critical Societal Problems from a May 2020 roundtable, “Workplace relationships, media markets, health delivery systems, and criminal justice organizations are all increasingly characterized by a complex mixture of human actors and institutions on the one hand, and digital platforms and algorithms on the other hand. Efforts to […]
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.

NSF DCL: Opportunities for Collaboration between CISE and SBE Researchers
June 29th, 2021 / in Announcements, CRA / by Helen WrightCISE, SBE and the Evolving and Expanding Role of Ethics at NSF and Beyond
April 16th, 2020 / in Announcements, NSF / by Helen WrightContributions to this post were provided by Fred Kronz, SBE/NSF. The responsible and ethical conduct of research involves not only a responsibility to generate and disseminate knowledge with rigor and integrity, but also a responsibility to: Conduct peer review with the highest ethical standards; Diligently protect proprietary information and intellectual property from inappropriate disclosure; and Treat students and colleagues fairly and with respect. Recently, at the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Council meeting, Fred Kronz, a Program Director in the Division of Social & Economic Sciences in the Directorate for Social, Behavioral, & Economic Sciences (SBE) at the National Science Foundation (NSF), presented on CISE, SBE and the Evolving and Expanding […]
NSF Dear Colleague Letter: Disrupting Operations of Illicit Supply Networks
April 2nd, 2019 / in AI, Announcements, big science, NSF / by Khari DouglasThe National Science Foundation (NSF) has released a Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) calling for proposals “to the Operations Engineering program into operational methods to discover, disrupt and disable illicit supply networks,” such as those that enable human trafficking and the sale of illegal weapons, drugs, and animals. While this call is lead by the NSF’s Engineering Directorate, proposals will require expertise in social and computational science and the DCL includes NSF’s Directorates for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE). Related to this fight against illicit supply networks, the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recently cosponsored the Code 8.7: Using Computation Science and AI to […]
