What are some underdeveloped areas in computer science research right now (2018)? Generally, computer science research has been driven by one of the following factors:(1) New hardware: Moore's law always impacts the way we design algorithms and implement software systems. In the post-Moore's Law era, advances in cloud computing affected so many sub-areas of computer science like operating systems and database systems. In the future, advances in quantum computing computing research may drastically change the way we design and implement computer systems. Autonomous cars triggered AI and data science researchers to develop novel algorithms to enable effective, robust, and safe self-driving cars.
