Computing Professionals: Changing Needs for the 1990’s

A Workshop Prepared by the Steering Committee on Human Resources in Computer Science and Technology,Computer Science and Telecommunications Board,Office of Scientific and Engineering Personnel,National Research Council,National Academy of Sciences

Surprisingly little is known about the people responsible for advancing the science, technology, and application of computing systems, despite their critical roles in the U.S. economy. As a group, they can be referred to as computing professionals. But, that label masks an unusually wide range of occupations. To add to the confusion, the nature of these occupations is changing rapidly in response to dramatic advances in technology. Building from discussions at a workshop, this book explores the number, composition, demand, and supply of computing professionals in the United States. It identifies key issues and sources of data and illuminates options for improving our understanding of these important occupational groups.
