2023 Visioning Activities
Future of Pandemic Prevention and Response
In this workshop, participants discussed and summarized challenges and envisioned computational opportunities related to forecasting and disease spread; disease evolution; automated notification systems; logistics and supply allocation; interventions and vaccination proof; and genomic medicine to ensure we are more prepared for the next pandemic. Included in the workshop agenda was a pandemic emergency simulation designed to help participants determine what computational tools exist and are useful, and the gaps that researchers at the intersection of computing and health are in the unique position to fill.
Systems and Applications Challenges for the Emerging Bazaar of Accelerators
The slowing of Moore’s law and the end of Dennard scaling has reduced the dominance of general purpose processor architectures. Accelerators and other approaches optimized for specific operations and data structures have been developed as the go-to alternative. This CCC workshop focused on the opportunities, challenges, and questions which arises from this shift.
5 Year Update to the Next Steps in Quantum Computing Workshop
The CCC held the Next Steps in Quantum Computing Workshop in May of 2018. The 5 Year Update workshop addressed the innovations and technological strides that have taken place since then, and discussed what research needs to be done in the future.
Community-Driven Approaches to Research in Technology & Society
The focus of this visioning activity was to catalyze the research community by enabling conversations between computing researchers and those that are impacted by artificial intelligence systems. Through active participation, participants were given the opportunity to better understand the research opportunities that will create improved systems for the users who are impacted by the systems. Participatory research is a growing area in computing, leading to the creation of an outline of how community partners and researchers can effectively and ethically work together to conduct community-driven research.
