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.

Blue Sky ideas logoThe Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recently sponsored a Blue Sky Ideas Conference Track at the Thirty-Fourth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, February 7-12, 2020 in New York, NY.

The Blue Sky Ideas talk presentations were aimed at presenting ideas and visions that can stimulate the research community to pursue new directions, e.g., new problems, new application domains, or new methodologies that are likely to stimulate significant new research.

  • First Place- Back to the Future for Dialogue Research (Phil Cohen)
  • Second Place– AI for Explaining Decisions in Multi-Agent Environments (Sarit Kraus, Amos Azaria, Jelena Fiosina, Maike Greve, Noam Hazon, Lutz Kolbe, Tim-Benjamin Lembcke, Joerg P. Mueller, Soeren Schleibaum and Mark Vollrath)
  • Third Place– Unveiling Hidden Intentions (Gerardo Ocampo Diaz and Vincent Ng) 

CCC provides travel awards to the winners. We encourage you to apply for a Blue Sky Ideas track at your conference!

Requests need only include a brief description of the conference and a proposed list of program committee members for the track. For more information — including guidelines for conference program committees, recommendations for selecting winners, and logistics for issuing CCC-sponsored travel awards to the winners, as well as a sample call for papers for a Blue Sky Ideas track — visit our website.
