The purpose of these nuggets is to help the CCC and others argue for the importance of long-term, fundamental computing research to a variety of audiences. They are not intended to say which areas within theoretical computer science are most important or should be funded. Many central research areas are not represented here at all, and this is due only to the limited size of our effort. We invite members of the TCS community to propose new nuggets.

The goal of the workshop was to identify broad research themes within theoretical computer science (TCS) that have potential for a major impact in the future, and distill these research directions into compelling “nuggets” that can quickly convey their importance to a layperson.

On May 17, 2008 (the day before STOC 08 in Victoria, BC), there will be a "visioning" workshop at the University of Washington in Seattle. The workshop will be funded by the Computing Community Consortium, and is supported by the SIGACT Committee for the Advancement of Theoretical Computer Science. The goals of the visioning workshop will be to:
The main purpose of these nuggets will be to help the CCC and others argue for the importance of computing research, and TCS in particular, to a variety of audiences. Some may also inspire the development of new centers or large-scale research activities (as might be funded by the new NSF Expeditions in Computing program), and others may be broadened and inspire entirely new programs (similarly to the way the NSF CDI program was inspired by 06-07 workshops on CS as a Lens on the Sciences).
