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.\"\r\n\r\nView the <a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msra.cn\/zh-cn\/um\/events\/21ccc\/2012\/flash\/hyap_en.html\" target=\"_new\">agenda<\/a> for more conference details.\r\n<h4>Related Links<\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msra.cn\/zh-cn\/um\/events\/21ccc\/2012\/flash\/xsjs_en.html\" target=\"_new\">Computing in the 21st Century 2012 Conference website (English and Chinese Language)<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/event\/asia-faculty-summit-2012\/\">Asia Faculty Summit 2012<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/b\/inside_microsoft_research\/archive\/2012\/11\/02\/microsoft-research-asia-wows-asia-pacific-academics.aspx\" target=\"_self\">\"Microsoft Research Asia Wows Asia Pacific Academics,\" Inside Microsoft Research blog<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/lab\/microsoft-research-asia\/\" target=\"_self\">Microsoft Research Asia<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>"},{"id":1,"name":"Keynote Speakers","content":"<h2>Keynote Speakers<span id=\"f8655c69-e148-43df-8a61-2a40d0379faa\" class=\"ImageBlock fl\"><span id=\"ImageCaptionf8655c69-e148-43df-8a61-2a40d0379faa\" class=\"ImageCaptionCoreCss ImageCaption\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-259413 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/p1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Hsiao-Wuen Hon\" width=\"93\" height=\"94\" \/><strong><a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msra.cn\/zh-cn\/um\/events\/21ccc\/2012\/flash\/hyjs01_en.html\" target=\"_new\"><strong>Hsiao-Wuen Hon<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Managing Director, Microsoft Research Asia<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Fellow of IEEE<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Topic:<\/strong> Transforming the Impossible to the Natural\r\n\r\n<a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msra.cn\/zh-cn\/um\/events\/21ccc\/2012\/flash\/ztyj01_en.html\" target=\"_new\">Abstract<\/a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-259431 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/p7-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rick Rashid\" width=\"93\" height=\"93\" \/><strong><a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msra.cn\/zh-cn\/um\/events\/21ccc\/2012\/flash\/hyjs07_en.html\" target=\"_new\"><strong>Rick Rashid<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Chief Research Officer, Microsoft Corporation<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Members of NAE and AAAS<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Topic:<\/strong> Microsoft Research and the Evolution of Computing\r\n\r\n<a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msra.cn\/zh-cn\/um\/events\/21ccc\/2012\/flash\/ztyj05_en.html\" target=\"_new\">Abstract<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/video\/microsoft-research-and-the-evolution-of-computing-3\/\">Video and transcript<\/a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-259422 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/p4-1.jpg\" alt=\"John Hopcroft \" width=\"93\" height=\"93\" \/><strong><a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msra.cn\/zh-cn\/um\/events\/21ccc\/2012\/flash\/hyjs04_en.html\" target=\"_self\"><strong>John Hopcroft<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>IBM Professor of Engineering and Applied Mathematics, Computer Science Department, Cornell University<\/li>\r\n \t<li>1986 Turing Award Recipient<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Topic:<\/strong> New Directions on Computer Science\r\n\r\n<a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msra.cn\/zh-cn\/um\/events\/21ccc\/2012\/flash\/ztyj02_en.html\" target=\"_new\">Abstract<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/video\/new-directions-in-computer-science-2\/\">Video and transcript<\/a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-259416 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/p2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Daniela Rus \" width=\"92\" height=\"92\" \/><strong><a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msra.cn\/zh-cn\/um\/events\/21ccc\/2012\/flash\/hyjs02_en.html\" target=\"_new\"><strong>Daniela Rus<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, MIT<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Fellows of AAAI and IEEE<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Topic:<\/strong> Computation Challenges for Creating Autonomous Systems\r\n\r\n<a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msra.cn\/zh-cn\/um\/events\/21ccc\/2012\/flash\/hyjs02_en.html\" target=\"_new\">Abstract<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/video\/computation-challenges-for-creating-autonomous-systems-2\/\">Video and transcript<\/a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-259419 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/p3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Michael I.
