By CCC Staff
As part of the rollout of the 2020 CRA Quadrennial Papers, the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is pleased to publish the first four papers around the “Core Computer Science” theme, including papers on post quantum cryptography, the foundations of our algorithmic world, opportunities with next generation wireless technologies and computing challenges in the post-Moore’s Law world. The Quadrennial Papers are intended to help inform the computing research community and those who craft science policy about opportunities in computing research to help address national priorities. As part of CCC’s contribution, in addition to the theme of Core Computer Science, we will be releasing three additional sets of Quadrennial Papers over the next several weeks, including ones organized around themes of Broad Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Socio-Technical Computing. The overall Computing Research Association effort includes contributions around the theme of Diversity and Education from our colleagues on CRA’s Committee on Widening Participation in Computing Research (CRA-WP) and CRA’s Committee on Education (CRA-E).
As a field, computer science is always on the cusp of what comes next. Before we can take this next step, it is critical to make sure the foundation is solid and that the hardware and software we have now will be able to sustain and support this next generation of technology. The series of papers, ‘Core Computer Science’, takes a look at what needs to be done as a field to prepare for the future of computing research in Post Quantum Cryptography, Theory, Wireless Networking and Post-Moore’s Law to ensure CS has a strong enough foundation to carry our visions to realization.

6 cra.org/crn November 2020 2020 Quadrennial Papers: Socio-Technical Computing and Diversity & Education
CRA released its third set of 2020 Quadrennial Papers, part of a series of white papers produced though its subcommittees, exploring areas and issues around computing research with the potential to address national priorities over the next four years. These Quadrennial Papers attempt to portray a broad picture of computing research detailing potential research directions, challenges, and recommendations for policymakers and the computing research community. This release focused on papers around the themes of Socio-Technical Computing and Diversity & Education. Previously, CRA has released papers in the Core Computer Science and Broad Computing themes.
The two Socio-Technical Computing white papers released in this set were organized by CRA’s Computing Community Consortium and focus on the intersection of computing technologies and society, in particular disinformation and data control. While the benefits of computing technologies are manifest, these papers highlight a call for increased understanding of how to avoid the myriad ways these technologies can also go wrong. From algorithmic mischief and disinformation, to the privacy cost of “big data,” these papers highlight challenges that need addressing if we are to move computing research in a more socially-responsible direction.
The three papers in the Diversity and Education theme, organized by CRA’s Committee on Widening Participation in Computing Research (CRA-WP) and Committee on Education (CRA-E), address “people” issues in computing. The three papers describe issues around and make recommendations to improve the production of domestic PhDs, the need to establish pathways for post-graduates in non-computing disciplines to obtain computing skill, and new approaches for diversifying the computing workforce through graduate education.
Brief descriptions, author details, and links to the Quadrennial Papers released in this set are included below. For a complete list and brief descriptions of upcoming and past releases, check the CRA Quadrennial Papers page.

8 cra.org/crn November 2020 Assured Autonomy Workshop Report Released
By CCC Staff
The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is pleased to announce the release of the Assured Autonomy report, titled Assured Autonomy: Path Toward Living With Autonomous Systems We Can Trust.
The report is the result of a year-long effort by the CCC and over 100 members of the research community, led by Ufuk Topcu (The University of Texas at Austin). Workshop organizers included Nadya Bliss (Arizona State University and CCC), Nancy Cooke (Arizona State University), Missy Cummings (Duke University), Ashley Llorens (Johns Hopkins University, Applied Physics Laboratory), Howard Shrobe (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and Lenore Zuck (University of Illinois at Chicago).
Given the immense interest and investment in autonomy, a series of three workshops, held in October 2019, February 2020, and July 2020, on Assured Autonomy was convened to facilitate Assured Autonomy: dialogs and increase awareness among the stakeholders in the Path Toward Living With academia, industry, and government. Autonomous Systems We Can Trust The following findings of this workshop series outline the challenges and shortcomings that need to be addressed so that autonomy can sustainably fuel a long-lasting transformation.
• No good can come from autonomy without proper assurance. • The goal of assured autonomy is human-centered — to amplify, augment, enhance, and empower humans. • Autonomy is a socio-economic opportunity and challenge. • Autonomous systems have a diverse set of vulnerabilities. • The public will perceive and be affected by autonomy unevenly. • Open operation environments amplify technical challenges. • The challenges in autonomy require interdisciplinary approaches. • Assurance is context-dependent and not once-and-for-all. • Strengthening connections between the stakeholders will accelerate progress. • Assurance for autonomous systems requires a major re-think. • A re-envisioning of education and workforce development must be • Means for measuring the progress and characterizing the gaps part of the path forward. are necessary. • A national research strategy for assurance is needed.

12 cra.org/crn November 2020 CRA-E Releases Report on Best Practices for Scaling Undergraduate CS Research Opportunities
Undergraduate enrollments in CS have grown considerably and continue to grow. Yet opportunities for undergraduates to engage in CS research have not grown proportionally. Engaging undergraduates in research has tremendous benefits for students, and is critical to the health of the North American CS PhD pipeline.
The CRA’s Education committee has released a new report documenting best practices and concrete suggestions for departments wishing to expand undergraduate research opportunities in CS (without overwhelming their faculty!). The report is based on a broad examination of existing structured research programs at universities across North America. It compiles the main challenges departments face in implementing undergraduate research programs, and provides best practices for addressing these challenges. A brief sample of some of these challenges and best practices are given below:

15 cra.org/crn November 2020 Expanding the Pipeline: The Status of Persons with Disabilities in the Computer Science Pipeline
By Richard E. Ladner Principal Investigator: AccessComputing
For the past fifteen years, I have led the NSF-funded broadening participation alliance AccessComputing that has the goal of increasing the participation and success of people with disabilities in computing fields. This has given me and my team the ability to help create positive change and to observe what others have done to do the same. No doubt, there are still significant barriers for some students with disabilities to enter our field, and as technology changes new barriers often arise.
Data on Disability to about 18% of all students in public schools. Most of these To understand the disparities and progress of students with students are perfectly capable of doing computer science with disabilities in the computer science education pipeline, having good the proper accommodations. data is an imperative. As described in our 2020 RESPECT Conference Computer science is rapidly becoming part of the standard K-12 paper, existing data on disability is often inconsistent and hard curriculum in the US. There is a wonderful report by Code.org to understand [1]. Further, collecting data on disability is difficult, Advocacy Coalition, CSTA, and ECEP that tracks the progress of because of how the questions are asked and how the answers are computer science in K-12 education. For the first time, in 2020, the interpreted can lead to wildly different numbers. A great example of report has data on students with disabilities. Eleven states reported this issue is in the Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) that surveys on the number of students under IDEA who have taken at least one all PhD recipients at US universities every year. For many years computer science course. In those states 12.9% of students are until 2009, PhD earners were asked about their disability status served under IDEA, while only 7.6% of students who took a computer with a result that 1-2% reported a disability. In 2012 the question science course are served under IDEA. Similarly, there are still changed and the percentage went up, reaching 7.5% in 2018 (SED, significant gaps for women, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Table 28). Indeed, in 2018, 3% of PhD earners reported a moderate or and English language learner students. worse “visual limitation” that could not be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. This 3% compares with the 0.1% of K-12 students Although block-based programming environments such as Alice, who have visual impairments served under Individuals with Scratch, App Inventor, and App Lab lack accessibility for students Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Part B (NCES Table 204.30). This is who use screen readers, switch access, and voice access, there is a factor of about 30. Please do not infer from this data that earning progress being made to create accessible block-based programming a PhD causes blindness. How the data is collected matters. Data environments [2.3]. In addition to accessible curricula and tools, on students with disabilities who are in computer science is even there is encouragement to CS teachers to use the principles of harder to find and understand because of the inconsistency in the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to reach students with learning way disability is defined and the way computer science is defined. differences [4]. At the more advanced level, AP Computer Science A still focuses on one programming language, Java, which may be an K-12 Education impediment to some students with disabilities because of its arcane In the US, students with disabilities who need additional syntax and use of special symbols.

In US public the College Board does not release any data about participation in schools there are about 7 million students covered under IDEA AP courses by students with disabilities, not even the number of and as many as 2 million served under Section 504.

Graduate students with disabilities have been well Undergraduate Education represented in this workshop. Unfortunately, the data on disability from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) suffers from the same problems as The Professions that was found in the Survey of Earned Doctorates. For example, There is little data on computer scientists in the professions, in 2015-16 the percentage of undergraduate students reporting a both academic and industry. One data point is the Stack Overflow disability was 19.4% (NCES Table 311.10, 2018), while in 2011-12 the Developer Survey. The 2020 survey which had 64,532 participants percentage was only 11.1% (NCES Table 311.10, 2013). This data was found that 14.8% reported an anxiety, mood, or emotional disorder obtained by sampling and, clearly, different questions were asked to or autism, and 2.0% reported a physical difference (blind / having obtain these numbers. By contrast, the K-12 data for students with difficulty seeing or being deaf / having difficulty hearing). Again, this documented disabilities under IDEA or Section 504 is at most 18%, is self-reported data so the percentages depend on the way the and some percentage of these students with intellectual disabilities disability question is asked. do not go to college. In addition, some students learn they have a One interesting phenomenon that has happened in the past few disability while attending college. Basically, the numbers reported in years is the interest in the tech industry in hiring qualified people K-12 are not consistent with numbers reported at the college level. with disabilities. Both Google and Microsoft have inclusive hiring I personally question whether these numbers from the 2018 NCES programs focused on hiring people with disabilities, and other large report really count students who have documented disabilities or companies have similar initiatives. The value of these employees receive disability related accommodations at the college level. comes from their expertise and their diverse perspectives. Although the CRA’s Taulbee Survey does not gather data on disability, the CRA-CERP Data Buddies project does. In a 2017 survey Discussion of 9,591 undergraduate students majoring in a computing field A major takeaway of this article is that data on disability is hard to 755 (7.9%) reported having a disability. In an article in Computing understand and gather, making it difficult to assess the participation Research News, February, 2019, 32% of students with disabilities of students with disabilities in the computer science education reported feeling like an outsider in their field. The percentage was pipeline. The US government has decided over the past ten years to even higher (45-46%) for students with disabilities who were women define disability in terms of the impact of an individual’s functional or in underrepresented minority groups. For men, regardless of limitations rather than on their disabling conditions. This has resulted disability, the percentage was only 17%. This result is an indicator in the large differences we have observed in data gathered by the that undergraduate students with disabilities are having difficulty Survey of Earned Doctorates and the National Center for Education feeling comfortable as computer science majors. Statistics. We will see how this affects disability data in the US Census next year. The functional definition of disability may be at Graduate Education odds with the disability rights movement that views disability through The same NCES Table 311.10, 2018 that reports undergraduate data a social lens.
