ABSTRACT
Computing research has made remarkable advances, but there's much more to be accomplished. The next few decades of advances should be even more significant, and even more interesting, than the past few.
The National Science Foundation has created the Computing Community Consortium to engage computing researchers in an ongoing process of visioning - of imagining what we might contribute to the world, in terms that we and the world might both appreciate.
This process is just beginning, and I'd like to take this opportunity to engage you. I will review the progress that our field has made, and I'll present a number of "grand challenge" problems that we should be prepared to tackle in the coming decade. I'll invite your contributions.

Computer Science And Numerical Analysis
ACM '78: Proceedings of the 1978 annual conferenceUntil the advent of computers, numerical analysis was not considered an attractive area of study. The early computers, designed as they were to attack some of the nation's pressing engineering and scientific problems, sparked an enormous interest in the ...
Computer science and bioinformatics
The disappearing computerIn barely half a century computer science has grown from infancy to maturity. Employment in computer science was assured until a few years ago. Today, however, like in the 1960s, when demand for physicists waned, computer scientists are eager to explore ...
