The theme of this year's conference is A Diversity of Scholars A Tapestry of Discovery. In honor of Richard A. Tapia, this conference, the third event in a biennial conference series will highlight innovative and original research and applications in computing sciences. Researchers will present in a number of areas, and particularly in collaborative and emerging technologies, computational mathematics and science, and multidisciplinary activities in computer science. The conference presenters are leaders in their respective fields, representing academic, industrial and government communities. Current research on leading-edge topics will be presented by invited speakers, during technical talks, panel discussions and workshops, and during a poster session. In addition to its technical program, the conference includes talks and discussions on initiatives to increase the number of individuals from underrepresented groups successfully transitioning into computing-based careers. The conference aims to provide an educational and supportive networking environment for underrepresented groups across the broad range of computing and information technology, from science to business to the arts to infrastructure.
