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.

Cyber Physical Systems: A Perspective from Keith Marzullo

November 6th, 2014 / in NSF, research horizons / by Ann Drobnis

The following is a special contribution to this blog by Keith Marzullo, division director for the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS).    Starting in 2008, the National Science Foundation (NSF) established a program called Cyber-Physical Systems, or CPS for short. What are CPS, and why did we establish this program? To answer these questions, I’d like you to imagine a world in which our physical environment interacts seamlessly and intelligently with us. Where our homes and offices respond to our needs while conserving our use of resources such as energy and water. Where we have access to autonomous vehicles that provide transportation while reducing congestion, fuel […]
