Science Why I do CS Research 25 April 2014 Wim Vanderbauwhede
2.
I want to
talk about
3.
fiction
4.
(and CS).
5.
Iain Banks, Scottish writer, died
last year.
6.
He created “the Culture”.
7.
In the Culture,
8.
sentient machines run everything, everyone
has everything and everything is free.
9.
Banks envisaged that the
society of the Culture came about through
10.
the sheer availability of
information and computing power.
11.
In other words,
12.
in Banks’s vision,
13.
CS created
14.
Utopia.
15.
16.
Back in the present
…
17.
CS luckily still
has some unsolved questions ...
18.
of some problems
for your specialism
19.
• In my area,
e.g. exploiting parallelism and heterogeneous systems for energy-efficient computing. • So we need new languages, compilers, architectures, etc.
20.
21.
Back in the real
world …
22.
there are many problems:
23.
24.
• climate change • aging population • energy
security • the internet is broken
25.
• climate change • aging population • energy
security • the internet is broken
26.
I want to
think of ways of using my research to help address some of those problems.
27.
• e.g. helping weather
scientists to improve prediction of severe weather events. • or linking rainfall predictions to flooding simulations
28.
29.
That way, I
feel I’m part of the
30.
solution.
31.
Thank you!
