在本文中，我们介绍了社会相关计算作为一种新的方式来重新激发人们对计算机科学的兴趣。社会相关计算的中心是使用计算来解决学生最感兴趣的问题。它吸引了当代学生的唯我论和利他主义的一面。它将计算机科学呈现为一门尖端的技术学科，使他们能够解决个人感兴趣的问题（与社会相关的小s），以及对整个社会重要的问题（与社会相关的大写s）。我们相信，社会相关计算提供了一个计算机科学的愿景，有可能提高我们学科学生的数量、质量和多样性。我们描述了纽约州立大学布法罗分校和莱斯大学正在进行的两个课程实验的初步结果，这些实验实现了我们对社会相关计算的愿景。
In this paper, we introduce socially relevant computing as a new way to reinvigorate interest in computer science. Socially relevant computing centers on the use of computation to solve problems that students are most passionate about. It draws on both the solipsistic and altruistic side of the current generation of students. It presents computer science as a cutting-edge technological discipline that empowers them to solve problems of personal interest (socially relevant with a little s), as well as problems that are important to society at large (socially relevant with a capital s). We believe that socially relevant computing offers a vision of computer science that has the potential to improve the quantity, quality and diversity of students in our discipline. We describe preliminary results from two on-going curricular experiments at SUNY Buffalo and at Rice University that implement our vision of socially relevant computing.
