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.

CCC @ AAAS 2020 – Detecting, Combating, and Identifying Dis and Mis-information

April 9th, 2020 / in AAAS, AI / by Khari Douglas

Over the last twenty years, the proliferation of Internet access, coupled with the explosion of online social networks, has allowed people around the world to share their ideas and experiences with the click of a button. Beauty vloggers craft YouTube tutorials, gamers stream their performances live over Twitch, and journalists share and source news from across the world through Twitter. This web of content is always expanding—much of the information within it is true, however, plenty of it is not. How can we determine fact from fiction in this rapidly shifting information landscape? In response to these emerging concerns the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) organized the Detecting, Combating, and Identifying […]

Call for Applications – CCC Leadership in Embedded Security Workshop

May 21st, 2018 / in Announcements / by Khari Douglas

The Cybersecurity Taskforce of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) will host a leadership workshop to envision the future of embedded security research on August 13th in Baltimore, Maryland. Embedded systems such as pacemakers, autonomous vehicles, and the Internet of Things often have real-time constraints and electromechanical components that lead to different vulnerabilities and solutions from traditional computing systems. Embedded security is the study of physical properties, computational properties, and human factors that protect embedded systems from attack. The workshop, co-chaired by Wayne Burleson (UMass Amherst), Kevin Fu (CCC Cybersecurity Taskforce Chair, University of Michigan), and Farinaz Koushanfar (UC San Diego), will be co-located with the 27th USENIX Security Symposium. It will begin with a reception on the evening of […]

Sociotechnical Cybersecurity Call for White Papers

September 19th, 2016 / in Announcements, CCC, research horizons / by Helen Wright

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) will be sponsoring a visioning activity on Sociotechnical Cybersecurity. As a part of this effort, the workshop organizing committee has released a call for white papers in order to both assist us in organizing the workshop and in selecting attendees. Authors of informative and well-crafted white papers may be invited to the Sociotechnical Cybersecurity workshop. Read the full call for proposals below: Sociotechnical Cybersecurity Workshop Call For White Papers We are holding two CCC-sponsored workshops, on December 12th-13th and in the first half of 2017, with the goal of developing a small set of grand challenges to set research directions for the discipline of cybersecurity, with the understanding that […]
