The Computing Community Consortium II

计算社区联盟(CCC)是计算研究社区的催化剂和推动者。它的各种活动努力团结社区，为塑造该领域的未来做出贡献；为社区提供领导，促进革命性、高影响力的研究；鼓励计算机研究与紧迫的国家优先事项和国家挑战(其中许多是跨学科的)保持一致；向社区发出声音，向广大受众传播计算领域的进步将创造更光明未来的各种方式；并为整个领域培养新的领导者。CCC在美国国家科学基金会和计算研究协会(CRA)之间的合作协议下运作，CRA是一个由学术界、工业界和政府的200多个计算研究实体组成的成员组织。在其存在的几年里，CCC的活动对计算研究社区的地位、方向和前景产生了重大影响，催化了一些新的联邦机器人和大数据倡议。在CCC的第二阶段，机遇也同样巨大。CCC是一项投资，承诺将以重要方式为油田和国家带来回报。

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is a catalyst and enabler for the computing research community. Its various activities strive to unite the community to contribute to shaping the future of the field; provide leadership for the community, facilitating revolutionary, high-impact research; encourage the alignment of computing research with pressing national priorities and national challenges (many of which cross disciplines); give voice to the community, communicating to a broad audience the myriad ways in which advances in computing will create a brighter future; and grow new leaders for the field as a whole. The CCC operates under a Cooperative Agreement between the National Science Foundation and the Computing Research Association (CRA), a membership organization of over 200 computing research entities in academia, industry, and government.During the founding years of its existence, the activities of the CCC had a significant impact on the status, direction, and prospects of the computing research community, catalyzing new Federal initiatives in robotics and big data to name a few. Opportunities during this second phase of the CCC are every bit as great. The CCC is an investment that promises to pay off in important ways for the field and for the nation.
