A major change is occurring in computer science as the field focuses on extracting information from the enormous amount of data that is currently available. The emergence of social networks, the merging of computing and communication, and the scale of data requires a new science base to support the opportunities opened up by this unprecedented access to information. This talk will give a vision of the future along with an introduction to the science base that needs to be created to support the new directions of the field.
