...Abbreviated version of this report is published as "Trends in Computer Science Research" Apirak Hoonlor, Boleslaw K. Szymanski and M. Zaki, Communications of the ACM, 56(10), Oct. 2013, pp.74-83 An Evolution of Computer Science Research∗ Apirak Hoonlor, Boleslaw K. Szymanski, Mohammed J. Zaki, and James Thompson Abstract Over the past two decades, Computer Science (CS) has continued to grow as a research field. There are several studies that examine trends and emerging topics in CS research or the impact of papers on the field. In contrast, in this article, we take a closer look at the entire CS research in the past two decades by analyzing the data on publications in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore, and the grants awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). We identify trends, bursty topics, and interesting inter-relationships between NSF awards and CS publications, finding, for example, that if an uncommonly high frequency of a specific topic is observed in publications, the funding for this topic is usually increased. We also analyze CS researchers and communities, finding that only a small fraction of authors attribute their work to the same research area for a long period of time, reflecting for instance the emphasis on novelty (use of new keywords) and typical academic research teams (with core faculty and more rapid turnover of students and postdocs). Finally, our work highlights the dynamic research landscape in CS, with its focus constantly ...

...the health care system to attain the proper treatment necessary for the patient, thus integrating a complex multidisciplinary health care system. Preparing new nurse case managers in this specialized field requires an advanced professional background based on education and experience. Keywords: case management, case manager, health care system The Growing Need for Case Managers The 65 years and older cohort in the United States will reach 20% of the population, reaching an estimated number of 80 million by the year 2050; while by the year 2020, a severe professional nursing shortage of two hundred and eight hundred thousand nurses is projected to occur. The discrepancy between the supply of nurses and the demand of health care services for an aging population is driving much emphasis on issues related to health care coverage, health promotion and prevention, and treatment of escalating chronic diseases that afflict this country, such as diabetes and dementia. The underlying message of this emphasis is the containment of health care cost, a burden patients will have to face when undertaking medical services, and revisions in health care places case management as an essential element for cost-efficiency and effectiveness of identifying health services for the client (Catalano, 2009).
