About This Special Issue
Innovations in computing serve as key drivers of competitiveness and sustainable economic growth. Since 1995, networking and information technology industries accounted for 25 percent of U.S. economic development. In 2010 alone, information technology industries grew 16 percent and contributed 5 percent to the overall domestic product. Beyond contributing to economic growth, computing accelerates the pace of discovery and innovation in nearly all fields of S&E inquiry, opening new windows into phenomena as vast as the universe and as small as nanoparticles. Further, computing provides solutions to some of society’s most pressing challenges—from improving human health and well-being to mitigating natural disasters.
