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.
Attached is a new DoD directive, reinforcing and clarifying the role of fundamental research at universities. Roughly speaking, the new DARPA policies governing fundamental research at universities are now being adopted across all of DoD. This means no pre-publication reviews, no export controls, and no issues with foreign researchers, except in “rare and exceptional circumstances.”
It’s remarkably how rapidly things are returning to a sane state!
The CCC’s official podcast, “Catalyzing Computing,” features interviews with researchers and policy makers about their background and experiences in the computing community.
