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 CISE Distinguished Lecture – Multiple Antenna Wireless – An Enduring Frontier

April 6th, 2015 / in Announcements, big science, NSF, Research News / by Helen Wright

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) is pleased to announce a Distinguished Lecture on Thursday, April 9, 2015 at 2:30 pm EST by Dr. Arogyaswami J. Paulraj titled Multiple Antenna Wireless – An Enduring Frontier. Dr. Paulraj is an Emeritus Professor (Research) at Stanford University. After a 25 year R&D career with the Indian Navy, Paulraj joined Stanford University in 1991. He proposed the MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) concept in 1992 which is the key to today’s 4G cellular and WiFi wireless networks. Abstract:    Multiple antenna (MIMO) wireless technology has been a spectacular success. MIMO is embedded both into 4G cellular and WiFi systems with many billions of devices […]

NSF Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation

April 6th, 2015 / in Announcements, NSF / by Helen Wright

The implementation proposal deadline for the National Science Foundation (NSF) CISE Directorate, in partnership with the Office of Cyberinfrastructure and other directorates at the Foundation, Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2-S2I2) program is June 03, 2015. The NSF Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2) is a long-term investment focused on realizing a portion of the Cyberinfrastructure Framework for 21st Century Science and Engineering (CIF21) vision and catalyzing new thinking, paradigms, and practices in science and engineering. The goal of the overall SI2 program is to create a software ecosystem that scales from individual or small groups of software innovators to large hubs of software excellence. The SI2 program includes three classes of awards Scientific Software Elements […]
