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: Pete Beckman on Artificial Intelligence and the Digital Continuum
May 4th, 2022 / in AI, CCC, NSF / by Maddy HunterPete Beckman will give a talk “Artificial Intelligence and the Digital Continuum: The Future of Linking Scientific Instruments and Edge Computing to Advanced Computation” as a part of the National Science Foundation CISE Distinguished Lecture Series. The lecture will be held on May 19th, 2022 at 11AM ET. Current technology, particularly artificial intelligence, enables huge amounts of data to be immediately collected, processed and archived. Beckman’s lecture will dive into SAGE, a new edge computing programming framework, how it will transform the digital continuum and upcoming developments in intelligent scientific infrastructure. Talk Abstract: No longer does a chasm exist between scientific instrumentation and advanced computation. From the sensor to the […]
NSF Announces New Investment RINGS
April 26th, 2022 / in Announcements, awards, NSF, research horizons, Research News / by Maddy HunterModern communication devices are becoming an increasingly vital part of society and everyday life. These technologies provide users with the ability to conveniently and instantaneously perform vital services and tasks. To meet this growing area of development, the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced a new investment of over $37 million to catalyze research pertaining to the development of intelligent, resilient, and reliable next generation — or NextG — networks. The public-private investment, Resilient and Intelligent Next-Generation Systems (RINGS) seeks to increase the competitiveness of the U.S. NextG networking and computing technologies to ensure the security and resilience of our systems. Partnered with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense […]
