Advances in computing change the way we live, work, learn, and communicate
Advances in computing drive advances in nearly all other fields
Advances in computing power our economy Not just through the growth of the IT industry – through
productivity growth across the entire economy
Computing has changed the world

Timesharing Computer graphics Networking (LANs and the Internet) Personal workstation computing Windows and the graphical user interface RISC architectures Modern integrated circuit design RAID storage Parallel computing
Research has built the foundation

Entertainment technology Data mining Portable communication The World Wide Web Speech recognition Broadband last mile
Much of the impact is recent

The future is full of opportunity
Creating the future of networking
Driving advances in all fields of science and engineering
Wreckless driving Personalized education Predictive, preventive,
personalized medicine Quantum computing Empowerment for the
developing world Personalized health monitoring
=> quality of life Harnessing parallelism: many-

The challenges that will shape the intellectual future of the field
The challenges that will catalyze research investment and public support
The challenges that will attract the best and brightest minds of a new generation
We must work together to establish, articulate, and pursue visions for the field
![Page 8: The Computing Community Consortium: Stimulating Bigger Thinking](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813191550346895d980320/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
To catalyze the computing research community to consider such questions To envision long-range, more audacious research
challenges To build momentum around such visions To state them in compelling ways To move them towards funded initiatives To ensure “science oversight” of large-scale initiatives
A “cooperative agreement” with NSF Close coordination
To this end, NSF asked CRA to create the Computing Community Consortium
![Page 9: The Computing Community Consortium: Stimulating Bigger Thinking](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813191550346895d980320/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CCC is all of us! This process must succeed, and it can’t succeed without
broad community engagement
There is a CCC Council to guide the effort The Council stimulates and facilitates – it doesn’t “own” Inaugural Council appointed through an open process
led by Randy Bryant
The Council is led by a Chair Ed Lazowska, University of Washington
Susan Graham, UC Berkeley, serves as Vice Chair 50% effort – not titular
The CCC is staffed by CRA Andy Bernat serves as Executive Director
The structure

Definition and execution of a bootstrapping procedure for the CCC (late 2006 and early 2007) Not straightforward, because community ownership was
essential
Five plenary talks at the Federated Computing Research Conference (June 2007) to introduce CCC to the computing research community CCC overview – Ed Lazowska The algorithmic lens – Christos Papadimitriou The future of computer architecture – Bob Colwell Data-Intensive Scalable Computing – Randy Bryant Exploring radical network designs – Scott Shenker
Activities to date

Countless additional talks at universities, conferences, and workshops
![Page 13: The Computing Community Consortium: Stimulating Bigger Thinking](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813191550346895d980320/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Definition and execution of an ongoing RFP process to support visioning by the computing research community Quarterly deadlines, but a
rolling process Five efforts launched thus far:
Big Data Computing Study Group
Cyber-Physical Systems Visions for Theoretical
Computer Science From Internet to Robotics:
The Next Transformative Technology
Network Science and Engineering

One more about to launch Global Resources for Online Education
Two others highly likely to launch Free and Open Source Software Information and Communication Technologies for
Development Several others in gestation

Computing research “Highlight of the Week”
![Page 18: The Computing Community Consortium: Stimulating Bigger Thinking](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813191550346895d980320/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“Computer Science Outside the Box” November 10th in Washington DC; CCC, CRA, and NSF CISE Topics:
Go Outside Your Box (stimulating trans-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research)
The World Needs Us (tackling societal grand challenges) Breaking the Cycle (the cycle of research incrementalism) Serving the Community
“Advances in Computing Research: Reflections and Perspectives” (probably) March 25th in Washington DC A 20-year retrospective and look forward
![Page 19: The Computing Community Consortium: Stimulating Bigger Thinking](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813191550346895d980320/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Broad community engagement in establishing more audacious and inspiring research visions for our field Some may require significant research infrastructure
(e.g., NetSE); some will be new programs (e.g., CDI)
Better public appreciation of the potential of the field
Attraction of a new generation of students Greater impact!
The desired outcomes
![Page 20: The Computing Community Consortium: Stimulating Bigger Thinking](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813191550346895d980320/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CCC, GENI, and NetSE
There is a long history that we won’t discuss here
NSF asked CCC to charter a “Council” to establish “broad research community ownership” of the GENI -> NetSE effort NetSE Council, chaired by Ellen Zegura
From the CCC perspective, this is one of our “community visioning” activities All of these activities depend upon the engagement
of the research community
![Page 21: The Computing Community Consortium: Stimulating Bigger Thinking](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813191550346895d980320/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Objectives of NetSE Define a broad research agenda encompassing network
science and engineering Identify supporting experimental research infrastructure
needs Recognize that there may be research involved in the creation of research infrastructure
Admit the possibility of multiple experimental platforms and/or potential for integration of existing/new experimental platforms
