Some Observations About Broader Societal Issues of Computing Research and Education

Опубликовано 7 сентября 2016, 16:09

Several things distinguish scholarship and education in computing. One is that computing is both a rich intellectual discipline in its own right and an infrastructure that supports scholarship in other fields. A second is that, although all technology is changing increasingly rapidly, none is moving nearly as quickly as computing and communication. These and other properties are more pronounced than in other fields, and they impose both responsibilities and opportunities for academics in Computer Science and Computer Engineering. This talk will try to raise some of these responsibilities and opportunities and suggest what we, as a community, ought to do about them.
