"The state-of-the art is driven by industry and consultants, and research is lagging behind in synthesizing and systematizing

knowledge and helping to validate or dismiss the many claims made by proponents for various tools and

techniques"

COMPLEXITY + SCALE

17

Scaling: input, process, output;

Changing: roles;

structures; nature of work.

Redefining and Maximizing: user experience;

human ability to collaborate and be creative.

• Re-emerged in the 1990s

• Seeking solutions for new, highly complex, global concerns (e.g. climate change and sustainability)

• Focus on “wicked problems” that need creative solutions, its reliance on stakeholder involvement, and engaged, socially responsible science.

CONCEPT

TRANSDISCIPLINARITY

industry, academia & society collaboration

PURPOSE

32

"Universities that split computing research into small groups, isolated by

discipline boundaries, distance themselves from its multi-disciplinary

future. Until computing research becomes one, computing theory will remain as it is

now - decades behind computing practice."
