The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) “facilitates the development of a bold, multi-themed vision for computing research”, normally through its series workshops, each of which leads to a white paper. The CCC was formed by the Computing Research Association (CRA), of which SIAM is a member, through a cooperative agreement between the CRA and the National Science Foundation. The reports from the workshop are intended to inform the computing community and the NSF of research opportunities and challenges.
The workshop on Uncertainty in Computation attempted to define grand research challenges in understanding and communicating uncertainty inherent in computational processes. According to the workshop website, the presentations from the workshop can be found via links on the workshop agenda. A full workshop report will be produced soon.
SIAM, in cooperation with the American Statistical Association (ASA), holds a biennial conference on Uncertainty Quantification. SIAM’s Activity Group on Uncertainty Quantification, along with ASA, organizes this conference.
