Advances in computing
• change the way we live, work, learn, and
communicate
• drive advances in nearly all other fields
• power our economy
• are the cornerstone of our national
security
CASC May 3, 2007
from NRC, Innovation in Information Technology, 2003.
Computing is a field of tremendous intellectual
excitement.
Computing is where the jobs are.
CASC May 3, 2007
But ...
CASC May 3, 2007
and we have been on a bit of a downer lately
•
•
•
•
•
The tech bust of 2001-03
Widespread misunderstanding of the nature of offshoring
Decreasing undergraduate enrollments
• Partly cyclical, partly image, partly the preceding two points
Decreasing research support from DARPA
• Has affected all fields, but DARPA has been more central to
computer science than to many other fields
Decreasing proposal success rates at NSF
• Budget increases have not kept pace with the size of the field, the
diversity of the field, and the increased focus on NSF (which now
supports 87% of academic computer science research)
Bluntly, a decrease in our vision as a field
CASC May 3, 2007
We Need to Return to
Thinking Lofty Thoughts
What questions shape our intellectual future? What attracts the best and
brightest minds of a new generation?
What are the next big computing ideas, the ones that will define the
future of computing, galvanize the very best students, and catalyze
research investment and public support?
CASC May 3, 2007
The challenge is to do this without harming the research
environment that has created the computing world of today.

Who Is the CCC?
•
•
•
The CCC is broadly inclusive of the computing
research community.
Any computing researcher who wishes to be involved
will be encouraged to be involved.
The CCC Council’s role is to stimulate and facilitate
visioning.
The Council is responsible not for doing the visioning, but
for putting processes into place that stimulate and
facilitate visioning by the computing research community.
CASC May 3, 2007
Role of the CCC
•
•
•
•
Mobilization
• Shaping the voice of the community
Brokerage
• Strengthening the marketplace of ideas
Advocacy
• Promoting research support
Performance
• Proactive position on the field's value

Connection of CCC and GENI
•
•
Not interdependent
• GENI was impetus for CCC
• But CCC’s mission and impact much broader
CCC serves as a proxy organization
• Create the GENI Science Council to
• Work with GENI Planning Group to evolve GENI
Science Plan
• Work with GENI Project Office to ensure design
meets science needs
• Communicate with the computing community on GENI
• Expand community understanding of GENI
• Maximize community participation

permanent Council - July 1, 2007
CASC May 3, 2007
CCC Goals
•
Create within the computing research community more
audacious thinking
•
Bring the computing research community together to discuss,
prioritize and envision our future research needs and thrusts
•
See the ideas developed become funded research programs and/
or instruments
•
Communicate these challenges, needs and thrusts to the
broader national community
•
Increase the excitement within computing research and use that
excitement to attract students representative of our diversity
into computing research careers
CASC May 3, 2007
Requirements for Success
• Community involvement
• Computing community must believe in the mission &
operation of the CCC
• Support from funding agencies
• Funding agencies must be open to the directions identified
by the visioning processes
• Effective leadership
• Dedicated and visionary people must be willing to serve as
chair & council members

Dream, Strategize, Realize
“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things
you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bow lines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream.” CASC May 3, 2007
