CC2020-What It Is and Why You Should Care

Published: 14 September 2018 Publication History

Abstract

In 2005, the ACM, in collaboration with the Association for Information Systems (AIS) and the Computer Society (IEEE-CS), published "Computing Curricula 2005: The Overview Report" (CC2005)1, which was a "Guide to Undergraduate Degree Programs in Computing", including undergraduate degree programs in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Information Technology, and Software Engineering. This document has been widely distributed, and has been reported to be very helpful in its goal to "provide perspective for those in academia who need to understand what the major computing disciplines are and how the respective undergraduate degree programs compare and complement each other." In 2015, the ACM recognized the need to update this document, and formed a task force for CC2020, intended to be a forward-looking update of the original CC2005 document. All relevant bodies of computing professionals (see Table 1) were included in a multi-national endeavor. This task force has been underway for several months, and a timeline has been set that will allow this update to be completed in 2020.
