While it is important to society in this larger sense, experimental computer science has found an awkward fit in university environments. This volume examines what is special about experimental computer science and what can be done to achieve a better fit for its practitioners in the academic context. 606 $aComputer science$xVocational guidance 606 $aComputer engineering$xVocational guidance 615 0$aComputer science$xVocational guidance. 615 0$aComputer engineering$xVocational guidance. 676 $a004.2373 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970044003321 996 $aAcademic careers for experimental computer scientists and engineers$94366874 997 $aUNINA
