  • The Changing Shape of the Computing World
    Outside the Box — The Changing Shape of the Computing World Steve Cunningham Computer Science California State University Stanislaus Turlock, CA 95382 [email protected] http://www.cs.csustan.edu/~rsc Something happened to computing while many of us were busy practicing or teaching our craft, and computing is not quite the same thing we learned. We can ignore this change and others will take our place and teach about it, but they will not have the context and the skill to understand the technology behind it and to carry it forward to the success it should have. And if others carry that torch, computer science will be stunted because we didn't recognize and respond to the opportunity. What happened? Simply this—that Xerox and Apple and, yes, Microsoft opened up the box labeled “CAUTION: Computer Inside” and let the user into the computing picture. Users responded hesitantly but increasingly eagerly and now expect the computer to work for them instead of their working for the computer. Every application now in wide use, and any system that supports a general market, has evolved to meet that expectation. Any computing education that does not pay attention to the user’s role in computing is missing the most vibrant and exciting part of computing today. As it says at the top of this page, you are reading an editorial, not an academic paper. As an editorial, this note represents my personal passion and commitment to the user communication part of computing that the “official” computing establishment has long discounted, and I appreciate John Impagliazzo’s offer of this forum to make my case that computer science is missing the boat in not understanding the need to reshape computer science education to fill this void.

  • THE AMERICAN AI STRATEGY 16 September 2019
    INSIDERS DINNER: THE AMERICAN AI STRATEGY 16 September 2019 The American AI Initiative has – at least on the surface – made government agencies put artificial intelligence on the priorities radar in their immediate and extended work. Important challenges include: the lack of a centralized platform to “hold people together”; help form a suite of best practices; ensure agencies advance in a strategically aligned fashion; hiring top AI talent into government roles; and the broader need for AI education across agencies to debunk myths, facilitate feasibility assessments and troubleshoot. At the national level, the U.S. has to consider the urgency of the competition with other nations, particularly China, whose capacity to innovate is increasing. To stay competitive, there is a call for concrete goals from the White House to advance AI and for concrete funding to achieve these goals. Deeper public-private- academic collaboration is proposed for developing a responsible regulatory structure or enabling the vast troves of government data to serve the general public. As to the growing need for workers skilled in new technologies – is this achieved through incentivizing computer science studies, perhaps ensuring immigration policies allow American companies to brain gain global talent? On workforce and broader society questions, the balancing act between infusing technology into the national culture via “computational or algorithmic thinking” and orienting toward broader sociotechnological priorities is shifting. Introducing computer science foundational curriculum in K-12 education could increase technological accessibility across all socio-economic layers of our society – and so could gaming – but we need a clear path for converting that fundamental knowledge into economically productive applications.

  • A National Research Agenda for Intelligent Infrastructure
    A National Research Agenda for Intelligent Infrastructure Elizabeth Mynatt Jennifer Clark Greg Hager Georgia Tech Georgia Tech Johns Hopkins University Computing Community Consortium Dan Lopresti Greg Morrisett Klara Nahrstedt Lehigh Univeristy Cornell University University of Illinois George Pappas Shwetak Patel Jennifer Rexford University of Pennsylvania University of Washington Princeton University Helen Wright Ben Zorn Computing Community Consortium Microsoft Research Our infrastructure touches the day-to-day life of each of our fellow citizens, and its capabilities, integrity and sustainability are crucial to the overall competitiveness and prosperity of our country. Unfortunately, the current state of U.S. infrastructure is not good: the American Society of Civil Engineers’ latest report on America’s infrastructure ranked it at a D+ — in need of $3.9 trillion in new investments. This dire situation constrains the growth of our economy, threatens our quality of life, and puts our global leadership at risk. The ASCE report called out three actions that need to be taken to address our infrastructure problem: 1) investment and planning in the system; 2) bold leadership by elected officials at the local and federal state; and 3) planning sustainability and resiliency in our infrastructure1. While our immediate infrastructure needs are critical, it would be shortsighted to simply replicate more of what we have today. By doing so, we miss the opportunity to create Intelligent Infrastructure that will provide the foundation for increased safety and resilience, improved efficiencies and civic services, and broader economic opportunities and job growth. Indeed, our challenge is to proactively engage the declining, incumbent national infrastructure system and not merely repair it, but to enhance it; to create an internationally competitive cyber-physical system that provides an immediate opportunity for better services for citizens and that acts as a platform for a 21st century, high-tech economy and beyond.

  • Bridging the Digital Divide with Universal Usability
    Bridging the Digital Divide with Universal Usability Ben Shneiderman, University of Maryland for ACM Interactions (March/April 2001) Draft: December 31, 2000 How do you explain a trashcan to a culture that doesn’t have one? How do you describe a “stop loss limit order” to retirees managing their funds? Can you design a text-only interface that conveys the contents and experience of an animated Flash presentation? These puzzles emerged during the first ACM Conference on Universal Usability (http://www.acm.org/sigchi/cuu/), held on November 15-17, 2000 near Washington, DC. The international group of organizers, presenters, and attendees of this conference shared an unusual commitment and passion for making information and communications services accessible, usable, and useful. They want to see effective healthcare services and appealing distance education. They want to create successful e-commerce and accessible government services for all. Realizing these possibilities requires more than low-cost hardware or broadband networks. These mass-market services are often too complex, unusable, or irrelevant for too many users [1]; usability and design become the keys to success. The source of these problems was often attributed to designers who make incorrect assumptions about user knowledge. This leads to difficulties with technical terminology and advanced concepts that are not balanced by adequate online help or live assistance. Unfortunately, most designers never see the pain they inflict on novice and even expert users. These problems have contributed to the growing digital divide in internet technology adoption levels between low- income poorly-educated and high-income well-educated users [2].
