Grand Challenges for Computing Research
Note that the above initiative by the UK Computing Research Committee
is currently in a discussion phase regarding six proposed "Grand
Challenges" for CS research. As this is likely to impact on the outside
world's view of the field of computer science, computer vision ought to
be represented, as one of the vibrant and successful fields.
Please look at the proposals on
http://umbriel.dcs.gla.ac.uk/NeSC/general/esi/events/Grand_Challenges/pr
oposals/index.html
and the "next steps" on
http://umbriel.dcs.gla.ac.uk/NeSC/general/esi/events/Grand_Challenges/do
cuments/Next_Steps011102.pdf
to see how you can contribute to a project which will undoubtedly
influence
the UK research agenda for the next several years.
In particular, note that the discussion period for the first-draft
proposals finishes soon. Now is the best time to make your opinions
known,
so do devote 30 minutes to scanning the proposals and contributing to
the discussion lists.
