The Computing Research Association (CRA) is an association of more than 200 North American academic departments of computer science, computer engineering, and related fields; laboratories and centers in industry, government, and academia engaging in basic computing research; and affiliated professional societies. View a list of our members.

CRA's mission is to strengthen research and advanced education in the computing fields, expand opportunities for women and minorities, and improve public and policymaker understanding of the importance of computing and computing research in our society.

The CRA Board of Directors and its Executive Officers are a distinguished group of leaders in computing research from academia and industry. The board is elected by CRA's member organizations. Representatives from each of our affiliated professional societies are also appointed to serve on the board.

CRA relies on the volunteers that serve on its committees, as well as its professional staff, to carry out its programs.

COMPUTING RESEARCH THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

LoC Symposium IconThis invitation only symposium, "Computing Research that Changed the World: Reflections and Perspectives," was organized by the Computing Community Consortium in collaboration with Congressman Bart Gordon (D-TN), Congressman Ralph Hall (R-TX), Congressman Daniel Lipinski (D-IL), Congressman Vern Ehlers (R-MI), Congressman Rush Holt (D-NJ) and Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV). It was held in the Library of Congress on March 25, 2009.

The overall message of the symposium is that computing research has made game-changing advances in the last two decades, from which we can extract lessons for structuring future programs to sustain that track record.

"One Keypad per Child" Lets School Children Share Screen to Learn Math
University of Washington computer science undergraduates have developed a system that lets up to four students share a single computer to do interactive math problems. Early tests show that students using the tool are able to share a single screen while working on problems at their own pace, effectively quadrupling the number of computers available for math exercises.
