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.


NSF, OECD Partner to Explore Smart Health — and We’ll Try Live Blogging It

February 11th, 2011 / in research horizons, workshop reports / by Erwin Gianchandani

OECDNSFThe NSF’s CISE Directorate and the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) are co-sponsoring what promises to be a terrific workshop on Building a Smarter Health and Wellness Future outside Washington, DC, next Tuesday & Wednesday.  This invitation-only event will review how new technological developments — including high-speed and mobile applications, connected devices, social networks, etc. — can provide unique and unprecedented opportunities for addressing the health and wellness challenges of our aging society.  A specific objective will be to identify priorities for an international research and policy agenda in this space, all the while stimulating collaboration and innovation on a global scale.  Over 120 attendees are expected.

A complete agenda is available here.  And you can read much more about the workshop here and here.

We’ll be on hand — and will be trying live blogging throughout the day on Tuesday (and perhaps on Wednesday, too).  We’ll also post a complete summary of the key themes that emerge from the workshop by Thursday or Friday of next week.

Stay tuned!  (And please take just a couple minutes to let us know on Tuesday what you think about the live blogging by commenting in the space below.)
