Support for the First Federated Computing Research Conference May 15-22, 1993 in San Diego, CA.

计算机科学是一个非常年轻的研究领域。 在 在过去的几年里，很明显，计算正在加入 实验和数学分析，提供了一个基本的新的 科学如何完成的科学范式。 在这样一个新的， 快速变化的领域，研究人员之间的沟通是 尤其重要。 然而，会议结构 计算机科学和工程是高度分散的， 这样的沟通。 重要的新研究成果是 很少在基础广泛的国家会议上提出。 因此，委员会认为， 积极的研究人员很少参加基础广泛的会议。 联合计算研究会议将解决这一问题 问题. 本次会议将保留规模较小的优势 专门会议，同时促进 不同领域研究人员之间的交流。 本次会议的其他好处包括：（1） 规模，（2）为公众提供教育功能，（3） 刺激新的研究。

Computing Research is a very young research area. In the past few years it has become clear that computation is joining experimentation and mathematical analysis, providing a basic new scientific paradigm for how science gets done. In such a new and rapidly changing field, communication among researchers is particularly important. However, the conference structure in computer science and engineering is highly fragmented and works against such communication. Important new research results are seldom presented at broad based national meetings. Consequently, broad based meetings are seldom attended by active researchers. The Federated Computing Research Conference will address this problem. This conference will retain the advantages of smaller specialized meetings while at the same time facilitating communication among researchers in different subfields. Additional benefits of this meeting include: (1) economies of scale, (2) providing an educational function for the public, (3) stimulating new research.
