The Visions 2025 initiative was intended to inspire the computing community to envision future trends and opportunities in computing research. Where is the computing field going over the next 10-15 years? What are 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?
In this roundtable, we discussed research themes that emerged from the first two 2025 workshops and pull insights from a number of relevant CCC workshops (Extensible Distributed Systems, Aging in Place, Uncertainty in Computing). The output from the roundtable will be a report that summarizes the Visions 2025 initiative that can inform (and perhaps inspire) efforts by agencies and the computing computing in identifying the next generation of visions that will collectively motivate tremendous research by our community and by our community in collaboration with many other disciplines.
Graphic Recorder, Joe Azar, was in attendance during the roundtable and captured the conversation in the following three pictures.
