An expanding and expansive view of computing, and the special role of pervasive computing

Summary form only given. Advances in computer and information science and engineering (CISE) are providing unprecedented opportunities for research and education often at the interfaces between these disciplines and many others. I will provide a general overview of CISE at the National Science Foundation and include a discussion of current trends that are shaping the future of our disciplines. I will also discuss the critical role that pervasive computing and sensing has played in shaping our disciplines current and future research directions, and focus on CISE programs that directly relate to these trends.
