The ACM/IEEE-CS/AAAI Task Force consists of:
- A Steering Committee of 17 members including an ACM co-chair and an IEEE-CS co-chair.
- A committee for each of the 18 knowledge areas
Steering Committee: ACM appointed a co-chair in January 2021. IEEE-CS appointed a co-chair in March 2021. The rest of the Steering Committee was put together as follows:
- Three members were nominated by IEEE-CS co-chair
- Two members were nominated by AAAI
- One member was nominated by ACM CCECC
- The remaining nine members were selected from among the individuals who nominated themselves in response to a Call for Participation posted to multiple ACM SIG mailing lists in February 2021.
The requirements for Steering Committee members were: 1) they were subject experts, 2) willing to work on a volunteer basis, 3) willing to commit at least ten hours a month to CS2023 activities, 4) commit to attending at least two in-person meetings a year; and 5) were aligned with the CS2023 vision. During the Steering Committee formation process in April 2021, the ACM and IEEE-CS co-chairs jointly interviewed each nominee who met the expertise requirements. The candidates who were aligned with the vision and were willing to meet the time commitments were appointed.
Knowledge Area Committees: In June 2021, each Steering Committee member took charge of a knowledge area, and assembled a committee of 5 – 10 subject experts, drawing members from:
- Individuals who had nominated themselves in response to the Call for Participation in February 2021;
- Industry experts; and
- Other Steering Committee members who shared interest in the knowledge area.
Knowledge Area committee members meet once a month to discuss curricular revision. Subject experts who wish to be considered for inclusion in a Knowledge Area committee should contact respective knowledge area chair with a brief description of their relevant expertise.
Curricular Practices articles: In addition to curricular content, CS2023 plans to produce articles written on curricular practices. A committee of experts is being set up for each topic. Suggestions of topics and nominations (including self-nominations) of experts welcome.
