Our Grand Challenge for computer science is: to journey through the gateway event obtained by breaking our current classical computational assumptions, and thereby develop a mature science of Non-Classical Computation.
The background and rationale of the challenge is discussed in the first part of this paper: I: A Grand Challenge for Computing Research (IJPEDS 20(1) 2005). In this second part we give a collection of suggested journeys that could be brought under the umbrella of Non-Classical Computation. It is assumed that these journeys would be conducted not in isolation, but in the context of the overall challenge, informing it, and being informed by it.
