The Computing Research Association (see www.cra.org) has recently released a series of clear, brief and fairly non-technical white papers on key areas in computer science. I have not read all of these (yet) but the ones that I have read are excellent, and point to more technical sources for those who want to go into more detail. I think that these will be very helpful to the CNI community.
These came out at the end of October, but for some reason I missed them. My great thanks to the amazing Gary Price for the pointer to these.
