The New Making Renaissance: Programmable Matter and Things
/2014 Events, Workshop/CCC/Harvest InnThe goal of this workshop was to inspire the computing community to envision future trends and opportunities within this critical emerging landscape. Where are the potential opportunities, disruptive trends, and blind spots? Are there new questions and directions that deserve greater attention by the research community and new investments in computing research?
Leadership in Science Policy Institute
/2015 Events, Workshop/CCC, CRA, Government Affairs/Hotel Sofitel, Washington, DCThe CCC will provide funds for hotel accommodations for two nights of local expenses (hotel, meals) for the April 27-28 workshops. Nominees are expected to pay their own travel expenses, though there will be a limited fund available for participants who cannot attend unless their travel is provided.
Privacy by Design – State of Research and Practice
/2015 Events, 2015 Visioning Activities, Visioning Activities, Workshop/CCC/Berkeley, CARegulators, academics and industry have called for privacy-by-design as a way to address growing privacy concerns with rapidly developing technology. The public and private sector are responding — hiring privacy engineers to join the ranks of privacy-oriented professionals, often working under the guidance of a chief privacy officer. Yet, implementing concepts of privacy through design is an open challenge and research area. There is a limited, disparate, and fragmented body of research affirmatively positioned as privacy-by-design. The first workshop of the series, highlighting the key insights, questions, themes, disagreements, and further barriers to actionable progress.

Extensible Distributed Systems Workshop
/2015 Events, 2015 Visioning Activities, Visioning Activities, Workshop/CCC/Le Méridien in Arlington, VAA Distributed System is a system consisting of multiple computers communicating through message passing. In the past 50 years, distributed systems have evolved from being a novelty to a fact of life---a very large fraction of computers today are part of a distributed system.
Through five sessions, the workshop will (a) discuss the gap between the current foundations that the distributed systems community has developed and the challenges and opportunities offered by today’s applications and infrastructure, and (b) identify possible solutions.

Brain Workshop
/2014 Events, 2014 Visioning Activities, Visioning Activities, Workshop/CCC/Hotel SofitelComputer science and brain science share deep intellectual roots – after all, computer science sprang out Alan Turing’s musings about the brain in the spring of 1936. Today, understanding the structure and function of the human brain is one of the greatest scientific challenges of our generation.
Uncertainty in Computation Workshop
/2014 Events, 2014 Visioning Activities, Visioning Activities, Workshop/CCC/Omni Shoreham HotelModern science, technology, and politics are all permeated by data that comes from people, measurements, or computational processes. However, data is often incomplete, corrupt, or lacking in sufficient accuracy and precision. While concern for these uncertainties would seem essential to rational decision making, explicit consideration of uncertainty is rarely part of the computational and decision making pipeline. Now is the appropriate time to hold a discussion about future research directions related to the modeling of uncertainty in computations and the ways in which the uncertainty inherent in many computational processes can be communicated to those tasked with making decisions based on such data.
Aging In Place
/2014 Events, 2014 Visioning Activities, Visioning Activities, Workshop/CCC/National Institutes of HealthThis workshop will bring together needed interdisciplinary expertise, assess the state of the science at the human, medical, and technology levels, and articulate a research vision for a systems engineering approach to the development of technologies and solutions to support the home management of persons with significant chronic diseases and their family care providers.
Human Computation Roadmap Summit
/2014 Events, 2014 Visioning Activities, Visioning Activities, Workshop/CCC/The Woodrow Wilson International Center for ScholarsHuman Computation entails the design and analysis of information processing systems in which humans participate as computational elements. This visioning activity seeks community input to map a path from interdisciplinary research to human computation applications with the greatest societal benefit and impact.
Extreme Scale Design Automation Workshop
/2013 Events, 2013 Visioning Activities, Visioning Activities, Workshop/CCC/University Club at University of PittsburghA series of three workshops identifying critical directions for electronic design automation in support of extreme scale design. Each of the workshops will feature keynote speakers to frame the key issues, followed by breakout group sessions in which participants will engage in open discussion. Participants will have opportunities to present their views and observations. Prior to each workshop, a set of survey questions will be provided, to further focus the discussions.
