Computer Science is a vast research field that is continuously evolving. It is acknowledged that scientific research depends on grants. This type of funding often comes from an external source. All areas of research; whether it be medical, financial, or meteorological use trend analysis to study the relationships on publication papers and the development of “x” field. Furthermore, the authors of this article propose that scientific research in the field of Computer Science is greatly influenced by funding opportunities. Apirak Hoonlor, Boleslaw K. Szymanski, and Mohammed J. Zaki wrote an article entitled “Trends in Computer Science Research” which appeared in the article Communications of the ACM. The authors back up their arguments with three key points of observation: new keywords that appear in grants result in new publications using those same keywords, Computer Science is continuing to go through changes, and lastly scientists are required to switch their focus of study roughly every 10 years due to evolving technology. This article examines the evolution of trends in Computer Science research and analyzes how funding correlates to publication topics.
The first observation that Hoonlor, Szymanski, and Mohammed make is that generally, whenever new keywords appear in grants, the same keywords subsequently receive a “burst” or increase in publications. The authors gathered data from the datasets ACM, IEEE, and NSF from 1990-2010 on proposals for grants and on Computer Science publications. They analyzed the relationship between awarded grants and research topics. The authors found that if a keyword in a publication had a high frequency, funding usually increased. For this, the authors used a data mining technique that used the...

...innovations, while sometimes leaving behind outdated ideas. As a result of all the rapid changes, Computer Science depends largely on funding in order for it to continue to grow. The authors of this article support this statement with three elements: new keywords that appear in grants result in new publications using those same keywords, Computer Science is continuing to go through changes, and scientists are often required to switch their focus of study roughly every 10 years due to evolving technology. Hoonlor et al, went through great lengths to demonstrate every one of their assertions so that there might be no room for uncertainty on any of their points. All of this is to say that the analysis of trends in Computer Science allows researchers to continue to acquire funding. Funding is essential for the field of Computer Science to be able continue to thrive.
The senior year of high school can be the most stressful, yet most important year in a student’s life. A few contributing factors to the stress of the senior year have to do with major life decisions. Choosing a career that a person can enjoy for their entire life is a huge responsibility. Choosing the correct college and major can affect the success of an individual’s career path. Another huge stress is figuring out a way to pay for college. Studies show that the average college graduate has approximately $37,000 in student loans (“US Student Loan Debt”). It is also overwhelming to keep grades up and get an acceptable score on the ACT to qualify for scholarships and admittance to colleges. Ohio University and Bowling Green State University are both excellent college choices; however, Bowling Green State University is a better choice for me mainly due to the location, and it offers an excellent program for my career path.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s video announcement that city schools were starting a new program that will bring computer science education to all students is late. America is dragging where it should be exceling. Less than 10 percent of the city’s schools offer computer science education and only one percent receive that education. New Yorkers should still applaud their mayor for taking on this monumental task that states should have addressed years before this announcement because New York City isn’t alone in this failure, only one in four U.S. middle and high school principals report offering any computer science education in their schools.
the breadth of computer science as I believe an initial holistic approach can prove a solid foundation for
My ardor for computers combined with my inner desire to reach a degree of excellence in every piece of work I perform, enabled me to acquire significant knowledge on various aspects of computers and its allied technologies. In this Ever-changing world of Computer Technology, where each new day sees a spate of new concepts and emerging trends, I want to stay on fast track and get exposed to newest of the technologies. My innate characteristic of being diligent and learn new ideas quickly made me through a successful educational career. And my strong desire to obtain an in-depth understanding and specialized knowledge in my areas of interest has made me apply for graduate study.
Computer technology will, no doubt, continue to evolve and will continue to affect the character of the world we live in. Computer scientists and engineers will play an important role in shaping the technology. The technologies we use shape how we live and who we are. They make every difference in the moral environment in which we live. Hence, it seems of utmost importance that computer scientists and engineers understand just how their work affects humans and human values.
I have always been interested and intrigued by computers, ever since using a BBC when I was very young. Since then I have become fluent in writing BASIC and more recently I have learnt HTML, the language of the World Wide Web on which I have my own wesite. I use computers for most of my exam coursework such as Solving Equations Using Numerical Methods for Pure Maths 2 and also for recreation.
The internet has exploded within the last fifteen years tagging along the necessity of computers and computing related devices. Everything from social media sites, to televisions, smartphones, and even microwave ovens are made operational by source codes. Because of the expansion of technology I have chosen to go down the path of Computer Science. Computer Science is the scientific and practical approach to computers and their applications. Although I don’t exactly know what I want to do in the future, I know that there will always be a need for people that are “tech-savvy”.
A quote I heard many times when I was in high school and which I now know traces back to Sir Francis Bacon, one of our earliest scientist or philosophers as they were then called, is the statement "Knowledge Is Power." Today, I believe that the fuller, more correct statement is to say, "the application of knowledge is power." The study of science, and technology subjects will broader our opportunities in life. As we continue to advance through the 21st century we are well aware that technology is possibly the hottest industrial commodity around the world today. In the years ahead, it will be an increasingly critical factor in determining the success or failure of businesses. It is the fuel many of us are looking at to help us win this race to the 21st century. To do that, we should make technology matter. In this paper I am going to share my technology forecasts. I try to focus on my new forecasts a decade into the future - the first decade of the 21st century, because that is how far most businesses need to be looking ahead.
Once an Internet technology becomes mainstream, the roots of the next great idea to supplant it are already growing.
Connections between science and technology (S&T henceforth) have baffled many historians and economists. One of the explanations of the relationship between S&T is the simple linear model set out by the economist Schumpeter. In his view the relationship is going from science to technology then to the economy. The simplicity of the model made it well liked with policy makers suggesting that it is best to expand the budget to support science and basic research and development. However, this model might be well suited to the late nineteenth century industries than the twentieth century industries and therefore no longer accepted as representation of the relationship between S&T. Bush report, Science, the Endless Frontier as cited in (Brooks, 1994) further supports this view. He basically encourage that policy makers should support science because scientists will know automatically what is important to the world and technology will develop and follow.
"In the 1970s, the Internet began to be interconnected with large universities and research organizations" (Banta 2). The type of information going across the Internet began to change from that of being primarily government oriented to that of research oriented. During the 1980s, more universities and government contractors began u...
If the nineteenth century was an era of the Industrial revolution in Europe, I would say that computers and Information Technology have dominated since the twentieth century. The world today is a void without computers, be it healthcare, commerce or any other field, the industry won’t thrive without Information Technology and Computer Science. This ever-growing field of technology has aroused interest in me since my childhood. After my twelfth grade, the inherent ardor I held for Computer Science motivated me to do a bachelors degree in Information Technology. Programming and Math, a paragon of logic and reasoning, have always been my favorite subjects since childhood.
Nowadays research is one of the major uses of the internet. The internet has vast amounts of information and is faster than most research methods, with access to articles & databases from multiple libraries. Search engines use association to help locate sources you may not even know about. It saves paper, time and money. Businesses can make use of this information to evaluate current market trends or keep check on similar products and services from competitors. The internet benefits employees of organisations such as IT support technician to find out how to fix problems relating to computers and their networks (Campbell)
As in other areas, progress is based on number of clever and innovative ideas, an abstraction of mathematical nature, and relative distancing with respect to the technology of the moment. It 's the kind that could hatch most of the major innovations that have shaped the computer landscape. It should be noted that the fact that several branches 'unnecessary ' long considered pure mathematics but at least recognised as having some "depth", found unexpected applications in computer science. A historical source consists of very theoretical needs of understanding of formal calculations underlying mathematical analysis. It is thanks to these achievements that the public can now have the Internet, the Web, DVD, mobile phone,
