Fundamentals of Computer Science--Challenges and Opportunities

国家研究委员会将进行一项研究，探索计算机科学中的根本挑战，阐明与该领域活力相关的研究类型、广度和深度。该项目将以无障碍形式说明这些挑战，强调计算机科学领域的机遇，突出该领域未来研究的关键难题。它的目的是鼓励计算机科学家(现有的和潜在的)进行更多的研究，并在整个科学界和政策制定者中更好地了解计算机科学的研究机会。广泛的投入和讨论将促进专家聚焦和阐明计算机科学的智力核心的过程。该项目的最终结果将是一份详细的报告和一份广为人知的摘要说明。

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.
