A couple months ago, I blogged about David Ferrucci’s excellent keynote at this year’s Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC) in San Jose, CA — noting how Ferrucci stepped through the creation of Watson, from conception of the “Jeopardy!” challenge in 2004 to the supercomputer’s nationally televised victory earlier this year.

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.
