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.

National Academies Workshop: Training Students to Extract Value from Big Data

deps_headerv2_rightThe National Academies Board on Mathematical Sciences and their Applications is sponsoring a workshop on Training Students to Extract Value from Big Data, hosted by the Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics of the National Research Council of the National Academies.

What are the key principles of a big data curriculum?
How can big data courses serve an interdisciplinary audience?
What are the best resources for students?

 

These and other questions will be addressed in a series of presentations and discussions.

You can view the proposed workshop agenda here.  The workshop will be held April 11-12, 2014 in Washington, DC and is free and open to the public, both in person and online.  Please register here, for either option by Friday, April 4, 2014.
