The CCC just released the 2nd Report Out in the three part Artificial Intelligence/Operations Research Visioning Workshop series. In September of 2021, the CCC along with the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) and ACM SIGAI, held the first AI/OR workshop virtually, during which they reviewed the current state of AI/OR research and developed a strategic vision for increased collaboration between the two fields. You can view the Report Out from the first workshop here.   In August of 2022, the second AI/OR workshop was held in Atlanta, GA. This workshop, also supported by INFORMS and ACM SIGAI, was organized by John Dickerson (University of Maryland), Bistra […]

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC), the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) and ACM SIGAI sponsored a virtual workshop, entitled Artificial Intelligence / Operations Research Workshop to provide a space for the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Operations Research (OR) to discuss a joint strategic vision for a strong and sustained collaboration between the two fields. Organized by Sanmay Das (George Mason University), John Dickerson (University of Maryland), Pascal Van Hentenryck (Georgia Tech), Sven Koenig (University of Southern California), Ramayya Krishnan (Carnegie Mellon University), Radhika Kulkarni (SAS Institute, Inc. – retired), Phebe Vayanos (University of Southern California) the workshop was held on September 24th – 25th, 2021. There […]

Roughly every ten years the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) community comes together for a visioning workshop to discuss recent accomplishments and new challenges in the field of TCS. The workshop acts as an opportunity for reflection within the community and a way of informing interested investors. The newly released Visions in Theoretical Computer Science Workshop Report, written by Shuchi Chawla (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Jelani Nelson (University of California, Berkeley), Chris Umans (California Institute of Technology), and David Woodruff (Carnegie Mellon University) and supported by the Computing Community Consortium, summarizes the key takeaways from the 2020 TCS Visioning Workshop. Organized by the SIGACT Committee for the Advancement of Theoretical Computer Science, […]

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is pleased to announce the release of the Assured Autonomy report, titled Assured Autonomy: Path Toward Living With Autonomous Systems We Can Trust.   The report is the result of a year-long effort by the CCC and over 100 members of the research community, led by Ufuk Topcu (The University of Texas at Austin). Workshop organizers included Nadya Bliss (Arizona State University and CCC), Nancy Cooke (Arizona State University), Missy Cummings (Duke University), Ashley Llorens (Johns Hopkins University, Applied Physics Laboratory), Howard Shrobe (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and Lenore Zuck (University of Illinois at Chicago).  Given the immense interest and investment in autonomy, a series of […]

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recently released the Leadership in Embedded Security workshop report. The workshop was organized by former CCC Council Member Kevin Fu (University of Michigan), Wayne Burleson (UMass Amherst), and Farinaz Koushanfar (UC, San Diego). It brought together around fifty academics, industrial researchers, and government agency program managers who work close to the topic of embedded security. The workshop included deep dive group discussions as well as short visionary talks by several international speakers to lend perspectives on successful strategies for funding embedded security research overseas. The report, titled Grand Challenges for Embedded Security Research in a Connected World, focuses on the challenges and potential research opportunities across five […]

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is pleased to announce the release of a new CCC workshop report called Content Generation for Workforce Training. This report is based on presentations and discussions at the CCC workshop Content Generation for Workforce Training that was held March 14-15, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia, and a follow-up workshop by the same name held July 28, 2019 at the ACM SIGGRAPH conference in Los Angeles. The workshops brought together researchers in a variety of computer disciplines related to content creation and practitioners in workforce training. Efficient workforce training is needed in today’s world in which technology is continually changing the nature of work. Students need to […]
