Computing in the 21st Century Conference is an annual academic conference founded and organized by Microsoft Research Asia since its inception, which has become one of the biggest and most influential conferences in computing science education and research in China and Asia-Pacific region. The previous 13 annual conferences have been successfully held in many Asian countries and regions including, China, Japan, Korea and Singapore, and have attracted a total of more than 36,000 attendees. They have welcomed numerous Turing Award winners and top scholars and researchers from all over the world to give keynote speeches, share their mind, and have face to face dialogues with students. Well received by the faculty members and students, the Conference is honored by the media as the “Most Significant Academic Exchange in the Computing Science Research Area.”<\/p>\n View the agenda (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> for more conference details.<\/p>\n Opens in a new tab<\/span><\/p>\n Topic:<\/strong> Transforming the Impossible to the Natural<\/p>\n Abstract (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Topic:<\/strong> Microsoft Research and the Evolution of Computing<\/p>\n Abstract (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> | Video and transcript<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Topic:<\/strong> New Directions on Computer Science<\/p>\n Abstract (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> | Video and transcript<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Topic:<\/strong> Computation Challenges for Creating Autonomous Systems<\/p>\n Abstract (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> | Video and transcript<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Topic:<\/strong> Divide-and-Conquer and Statistical Inference for Big Data<\/p>\n Abstract (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> | Video and transcript<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Topic:<\/strong> Towards a Theory of Trust in Networks of Humans and Computers<\/p>\n Abstract (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> | Video and transcript<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Topic:<\/strong> The Pipeline from Computing Research to Surprising Inventions<\/p>\n Abstract (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> | Video and transcript<\/a>Opens in a new tab<\/span><\/p>\n Moderator:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Panelists:<\/b><\/p>\n Vice Chairman of the University Council, Peking University<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Distinguished Scientist, Microsoft Research, Redmond<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Professor and Dean, School of Information Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Senior Researcher and Research Manager, Human Computer Interaction Group, Microsoft Research Asia<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Opens in a new tab<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Co-hosted by Microsoft Research Asia, Nankai University and Tianjin University, the 14th Computing in the 21st Century Conference was held in Tianjin on October 25, 2012.
