(Guest post from Richard Beigel, NSF Program Director for
Algorithmic Foundations)
In order that proposals from CDI PIs (See below for what
the CDI grants are) get a fair and knowledgeable
review it is important that we have experts available for all areas
covered by CISE to serve on these panels. To make this happen it is
important to have the CISE community volunteer in large numbers to serve
as reviewers for CDI. There is a webform available at
here
for anyone who wants to volunteer to review CDI proposals.
Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) is NSF's bold five-year
initiative to create revolutionary science and engineering research
outcomes made possible by innovations and advances in computational
thinking. Computational thinking is defined comprehensively to encompass
computational concepts, methods, models, algorithms, and tools. Applied
in challenging science and engineering research and education contexts,
computational thinking promises a profound impact on the Nation's
ability to generate and apply new knowledge. Collectively, CDI research
outcomes are expected to produce paradigm shifts in our understanding of
a wide range of science and engineering phenomena and socio-technical
innovations that create new wealth and enhance the national quality of
life.

ReplyDeleteI have to say that this kind of hype is what turns me off from CDI, even though I agree with the basic sentiment.
This is the true PARADIGM Shift

"Bi-Polarism Theory" - Bi-Polar 2009
Prof Rafee Kamouna's Research Results
12-13 April, 2009, Irbid National University , Jordan
Bi-Polarism theory has important claims (if they were true) of a wide scope:
A. Foundations of Computer Science:
1. "SAT is (NOT) NP-complete; HP is (NOT) c.e.-complete” - central to complexity and computability theories.
2. Descriptive Complexity Theory fundamental results such as Fagin's theorem as well as Immermann-Vardi's are also over-turned.
B. Foundations of Mathematics:
1. Continuum Hypothesis = "False".
2. Axiom of Choice = "False".
C. Foundations of Physics:
1. Reconciliation of Quantum Gravity & General Relativity.
Coupled with the quantum interpretation of computing, a gravitational interpretation of computing is obtained where the expansion of the universe from the Big Bang to black holes is a computational process.
2. The birth of Logical Physics.
The above results *prove* that ZFC is inconsistent inducing percussions in all of mathematics and mathematical disciplines. Those results were reached after the discovery of "Two Fuzzy Logic Programming Paradoxes":
[1]. FLP Paradox I Þ Bi-PolarComputation
[2]. FLP Paradox II Þ Bi-PolarMathematics
[3]. FLP Paradox II Þ Bi-PolarPhysics
It is obvious that these results (if they were true) are of importance to a broad audience of computer scientists, mathematicians and physicists. Active researchers from all of the above disciplines are invited to submit papers to disprove the results. The antecedents of [1], [2] & [3] have to be settled with the Fuzzy Logic Programming (truth constants) research community, A PRIORI. Only then, the consequents (of [1], [2] & [3]) could be settled within the relevant research communities, A POSTERIORI. However, FLP is nothing but Universal Prolog.
Important Dates:
Submission Deadline: 20th February 2009.
Notification Date: 20th March, 2009.
Papers disproving the results/sceptics/stereotyping MUST be submitted first on the http://ArXiv.org, together with a notification email to Prof Rafee Kamouna. Conference Program Committee will be announced later on the conference website: http://www.Chopin-Math.org (under construction).
