Resumo:

Over  the last 40  years the  computer science  research was
focused   on  making   computers  useful.    Areas  included
programming  languages, compilers,  operating  systems, data
structures and algorithms.  These are still important topics
but  with the  merging of  computing and  communication, the
emergence  of  social  networks,  and the  large  amount  of
information   in  digital   form,  focus   is   shifting  to
applications   such  as  the   structure  of   networks  and
extracting information from large data sets.  This talk will
give a brief  vision of the future and  then an introduction
to the science base that needs to be formed to support these
new directions.
