CACM Sept. 2019 - Computational Sustainability
These are exciting times for computational sciences with the digital revolution permeating a variety of areas and radically transforming business, science, and our daily lives. The Internet and the World Wide Web, GPS, satellite communications, remote sensing, and smartphones are dramatically accelerating the pace of discovery, engendering globally connected networks of people and devices. Unfortunately, humanity is also facing tremendous challenges. Nearly a billion people still live below the international poverty line and human activities and climate change are threatening our planet and the livelihood of current and future generations. In this video, Carla Gomes discusses "Computational Sustainability" (cacm.acm.org/magazines/2019/9/238970), a Contributed Article in the September 2019 Communications of the ACM.
