Grand Challenges in Computing Research for 2010 and beyond
The call for submissions are now up on the UKCRC website.
See http://www.ukcrc.org.uk/grand-challenge/2010-gccr.cfm
There is also a discussion forum to allow comments on each submission which can be accessed through the above web page
The meeting forms part of the ACM-BCS Visions of Computer Science conference 2010.
We want the whole community to be involved in this debate so please encourage all your colleagues and research students to consider using the discussion forum and attend the meeting. The new challenges will drive the discipline forward this year as well as reviewing the progress of existing grand challenges. Also for the first time we are including discussion of the role computing research plays in the major societal grand challenges. We plan the meeting itself to be very interactive so that every who attends will be able to take part in the discussion.
The costs of attendance for the Visions conference have been kept very low. We hope most people will attend the whole event but you have the option just to attend the Grand Challenge day. Registration is now open on the BCS website. Follow the link above
ACM-BCS Visions of Computer Science 2010 - 13-16 April 2010, Edinburgh University
The programme committee, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, are delighted to invite you to the joint ACM-BCS 2010 “Visions of Computer Science” conference, to be held at the Informatics Forum, Edinburgh University, between April 13-16 2010.
This flagship event aims to energise the computing community and bring it together around some positive and inspiring visions of our discipline and follows the highly successful “Visions of Computer Science” conference in 2008.
Computing in Schools: the state of the nation
Digital technology is everywhere. Our young people should be educated not only in the application and use of digital technology, but also in how it works, and its foundational principles. Lacking such knowledge renders them powerless in the face of complex and opaque technology, disenfranchises them from making informed decisions about the digital society, and deprives the UK of a well-qualified stream of students enthusiastic and able to envision and design new digital systems.
