Fundamentals of Computer Science--Challenges and Opportunities

国家研究理事会将进行一项研究，探讨计算机科学的基本挑战，阐明研究的种类，其广度和深度，与该领域的活力。 该项目将通过以可访问的形式说明这些挑战，强调计算机科学的机遇，突出该领域未来研究的关键难题。 其目的是激励计算机科学家（当前和潜在的）进行更多的研究，并使广大科学界和决策者更好地了解计算机科学研究的机会。 广泛的投入和讨论将有助于专家集中精力，明确计算机科学的知识核心。 该项目最终将产生一份详细的报告和一份普遍可获得的摘要说明。

The National Research Council will conduct a study that will explore the fundamental challenges in computer science, illuminating the kinds of research, their breadth and depth, associated with the vitality of the field. The project will emphasize, by illustrating those challenges in accessible form, the opportunities in computer science, highlighting key hard problems for future research in the field. It is intended to motivate more research among computer scientists (current and potential) and to generate better understanding of computer science research opportunities among the scientific community at large and policy makers. Broad input and discussion will feed a process of expert focusing and articulation of the intellectual core of computer science. The project will culminate in a detailed report and a popularly accessible summary statement.
