The Community Driven Approaches to Research in Technology & Society visioning workshop was held in the Spring of 2023, bringing together a diverse group of 53 civil society representatives, activists, non-profit leaders, and computing researchers together. The workshop was sponsored by CCC and the MacArthur Foundation. The workshop organizers, Timnit Gebru (Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute), Ufuk Topcu (University of Texas at Austin), and Suresh Venkatasubramanian (Brown University), along with support from Haley Griffin (CCC), Nasim Sonboli (Brown University), and Leah Namisa Rosenbloom (Brown University), have written a workshop report that synthesizes the amazing ideas discussed throughout the visioning workshop. This report is a result of the ideas, experiences, recommendations, […]
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.

Visioning Workshop Report Released: Community Driven Approaches to Research in Technology & Society
March 12th, 2024 / in CCC, workshop reports / by Haley GriffinCCC Releases “Meta Hybrid” Report Out
March 23rd, 2022 / in CCC, workshop reports / by Catherine GillThe Computing Community Consortium (CCC) sponsored a hybrid workshop “Best Practices for Hybrid Workshops” where around 30 participants from the fields of academia, industry, and government were given the opportunity to discuss the costs, benefits, and risks of Hybrid conferences, which have become increasingly prevalent since the beginning of Covid-19. Organized by Sujata Banerjee (VMware), Maria Gini (University of Minnesota), Daniel P. Lopresti (Lehigh University), and Holly Yanco (University of Massachusetts Lowell), this workshop focused on discussing the increased inequities introduced by hybrid conferences, such as difficulties for visually and verbally impaired individuals to follow presentations, the loss of social interaction between conference participants, and problems with incompatible technologies, such […]
Big Data Computing Group Kicks Off
May 2nd, 2008 / in workshop reports / by Peter LeeThe CCC “Big Data Computing Study Group” helped organize two adjacent events in Sunnyvale in March: the “Hadoop Summit” and the “Data-Intensive Scalable Computing (DISC) Symposium”. The Hadoop Summit was an open event, hosted by Yahoo! Research. Its goal was to build a community among users of the open-source Hadoop software suite for distributed programming in the map-reduce style. About 350 people attended, a much larger crowd than originally expected. The DISC Symposium was an invitation-only event (~125 attendees) whose goal was to build a community among DISC researchers. The presentations at the Hadoop Summit were fascinating. While they varied greatly in technical depth, in total they gave a sense […]
