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.

Three-dimensional interfaces will let us interact with 3-D holograms of our friends. – Batteries will breathe air to power our devices. Advances in transistors and battery technology will yield devices capable of lasting ~10 times longer than they do today before requiring re-charging. – You won’t need to be […]
