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.

Reminder: Call for White Papers on Mid-Scale Infrastructure Investments for Computing Research

April 11th, 2013 / in CCC, research horizons, resources / by Kenneth Hines

As we’ve previously blogged, The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is turning to the Computing Research community for their input on the needs and potential payoff for further investment in mid-scale infrastructure, investments over $4 million but under $100 million. Examples include GENI, PlanetLab, Orbit, FutureGrid, and Emulab, all of which have transformed computing. The CCC is looking to answer the following question. What sort of investment in mid-scale infrastructure can you envision that would drive computing forward? It is our intention to host a workshop where the white papers would be presented, and approach NSF and other funding agencies to act on the (pending) demand for mid-scale infrastructure research funding. White […]

CISE AD Issues Letter to the Community on FY14 Budget

April 11th, 2013 / in Uncategorized / by Ann Drobnis

Yesterday, the President submitted his FY14 budget request to Congress.  This request included an 8.4% increase over 2012 levels for NSF, with a 9.8% increase in funding over 2012 for the Computer & Information Science & Engineering  Directorate. “The CISE FY 2014 Request is shaped by investments in core research, education and infrastructure programs as well as investments in a cross-cutting portfolio that aligns closely with national priorities and societal challenges.” – Farnam Jahanian, CISE AD You can read Farnam Jahanian’s letter to the CISE community about the FY14 Budget here.
