学术报告摘要:


Changing Landscape of Information Technology and Its Implications in Research and Education

 

In the 21st Century economy, every industry has become a “technology and information industry”, where computing, information and communication are not only essential utility, but more importantly, the core driver for innovation. Information technology is integrated into every aspect of economy, government and society at large. The field has evolved and expanded from its focus on computation to data, information and knowledge. There is a fast increasing trend of integration between the information technology and other (existing and emerging) disciplines. All of these will have transformational effect on research and education and on the future of our institutions. I will discuss the trends and their implications to our students, faculty, programs and organizations, and how our college plan to deal with these changes.
