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.

Game-Changing Advances from Computing Research

November 4th, 2008 / in Uncategorized / by Peter Lee

We’d like your help with a brainstorming exercise: Identify about a dozen game-changing advances from computing research conducted in the past 20 years. Here’s what we mean: The advance needs to be “game changing,” in the sense of dramatically altering how we think about computing and its applications. The importance of the advance needs to be obvious and easily appreciated by a wide audience. There needs to be a clear tie to computing research (or to infrastructure initiatives that build upon research and were sponsored by computing research organizations). We’re particularly interested in highlighting the impact of federally-funded university-based research. We’re focusing on work carried out in the past 20 […]
