Establishment of an Industry/University Cooperative ResearchCenter in Information Management (Planning Phase)

缺乏有效管理信息的知识和工具和技术，对企业的管理和控制产生了严重的负面影响。工业界开始认识到需要研究信息的创建、存储/检索、显示、传输、管理和使用，以及如何通过整体系统方法集成所有这些过程。工业界支持解决他们的问题的必要研究的方法之一是通过工业/大学合作研究中心。这项规划赠款正在研究佐治亚理工学院与亚利桑那大学合作设立的信息管理工业/大学合作研究中心的可行性和可行性。这项研究正在处理研究兴趣和工业、备选组织、政策和中心业务的需要，以及该中心实现自给自足的潜力。联合首席研究员及其同事是各自领域的知名研究人员，具有开展这项研究所需的专业知识和行业联系。该计划拨款由美国陆军管理信息通信和计算机科学研究所共同资助。项目经理建议佐治亚理工学院与亚利桑那大学合作，为这项研究提供10万美元的资助，为期一年。

The lack of knowledge and the inadequacy of tools and techniques for effective management of information has serious negative impact on the management and control of enterprises. Industry is beginning to recognize the need for research about the creation, storage/retrieval, display, transmission, management, and use of information, as well as how to integrate all of these processes through a total systems approach. One of the ways industry can support the research necessary to address their problems is through an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center. This planning grant is studying the feasibility and viability of an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center in Information Management at the Georgia Institute of Technology in collaboration with the University of Arizona. The study is addressing the research interests and needs of industry, alternative organizations, policies and operations of a Center, and the potential for such a Center to become self-sufficient. The Co-Principal Investigators and their colleagues are noted researchers in their fields and have the necessary expertise and industry contacts to perform this study. The planning grant is being co-funded by the U.S. Army Institute for Research in Management Information Communication and Computer Science. The Program Manager recommends that the Georgia Institute of Technology in collaboration with the University of Arizona be awarded a $100,000 grant for one (1) year to fund this study.
