Interdisciplinary.

One looks for new applications of Computer Science and pioneers in their development, usually working in collaboration with people who are experts in the application area. This may involve the development of entirely new CS technology inspired by the needs of a new application, but more frequently involves the transfer, adaptation, and improvement of technology from one area in order to apply it to another. Accepted standards of quality include:

• The techniques applied must be original, relative to the application area.
• The techniques must be technically sound, making use of the most up-to-date relevant CS theory and knowledge.
• There must be some utility to the work; it should advance the science or practice in the given application area.
• It is especially good if the application exposes questions that lead to new theoretical or experimental research in CS.
