This study was commissioned by CISE’s Division of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (ACI) in 2013 to examine priorities and trade-offs for advanced computing in support of NSF-supported science and engineering research. An interim report was published in Fall 2014 identifying key issues and catalyzing input from the community. The final report, which was issued in late April, considered contributions from multiple stakeholders, including more than 60 submitted comments from individuals, research groups, and organizations. The recommendations within the report aim to: (1) position the United States for continued leadership in science and engineering; (2) ensure that computing resources meet community needs; (3) aid the scientific community in keeping up with the revolution in computing, and (4) sustain the infrastructure for advanced computing. We are enthusiastic about the study’s helpful observations and recommendations. The timing of the report is excellent, syncing with planning for NSF’s future research cyberinfrastructure (CI) investments. It also nicely complements the National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI)<https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/07/29/executive-order-crea…> that was announced last summer and some of our internal planning with respect to data infrastructure as the NSF-wide Cyberinfrastructure for 21st-Century Science, Engineering, and Education (CIF21) effort transitions. Please join us in thanking the study committee for all their work, especially the study co-chairs, Bill Gropp and Robert Harrison. We also want to thank the community for thoughtful input and review. We invite you to a webcast<https://nsfevents.webex.com/mw0401lsp13/mywebex/default.do?nomenu=true&site…> on this new report with Bill and Robert during the next meeting of the Advisory Committee for Cyberinfrastructure (ACCI)<https://www.nsf.gov/events/event_summ.jsp?cntn_id=138596&org=null> on Monday, May 23rd at 10:45 AM ET.

RE:TRACE 2017: Call for Papers The 7th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology titled RE:TRACE focuses on an evaluation of the status of the meta-discipline MediaArtHistories today. More than a decade after the first conference founded the field now recognized worldwide as a significant historical inquiry at the intersection of art, science, and technology, Media Art Histories is now firmly established as a dynamic area of study guided by changing media and research priorities, drawing a growing community of scholars, artists and artist-researchers. Immersed in both contemporary and historiographical aspects of the digital world, we explore the most immediate socio-cultural questions of our time: from body futures, information society, and media (r)evolutions, to environmental interference, financial virtualization, and surveillance. And we do so through a fractal lens of inter- and trans-disciplinarity, bridging art history, media studies, neuroscience, psychology, sociology, and beyond. MediaArtHistories is a field whose theory, methods, and objects of study interweave with and overlay other disciplines. The organizing committee invites researchers of different areas, disciplines and practices to submit individual papers, posters and full panels with new and original research preferably in the following themes: • MediaArtHistories – historiographies and futures of an ever-emerging field • Institutional histories of Media Art • Media Art & Politics (surveillance, climate, visualizations, etc.) • Collecting media art / Media Art market • Archiving, preserving and representing Media Art • Re-Use of cultural heritage data, including education, learning and research • Methodologies and research tools for MediaArtHistories with a focus on Digital Humanities • International and local histories and practices of media art • (Post-)Colonial experiences and non-Western histories of media art, science and technology • Paradigm shift – Digital vs. Post-Digital Theory • Alternative histories for Media Art in relation to newly evolving or unexpected fields. • Models and perspectives of research fields adapted across traditional disciplinary lines. • New symbolic architecture of digital super companies (Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, FB, Google) The conference program will include competitively selected, peer-reviewed individual papers, panel presentations and posters, as well as a small number of invited speakers. Presentations will be delivered in a range of formats, from panel discussions to a poster session. We particularly encourage submissions by researchers from international contexts outside of Europe and North America. Keynote lectures by internationally renowned, outstanding leaders in the field, will deliberate on the central themes of the conference series, its histories and futures. Submission Deadline: March 26, 2017 Notification of acceptance will be announced by April 30, 2017. Individual proposals for papers should consist of a max. 250-word abstract with title. Proposals for full panels should consist of a max. 500-word abstract outlining the panel and individual topics of confirmed speakers. Submission language is English. Submitters should upload a short bio file (Word), no longer than ½ page per person. The short bios will be used on the conference website together with your abstracts.
