NSF Coordination Theory and Collaboration Technology Grantee Workshop; Arlington, VA.; July 8-10, 1993

这是一个由NSF受助者组成的研讨会，这些受助者的奖项是在协调理论和协作技术（CTCT）倡议下的两年竞赛中获得的，以及这些领域后续奖项的受助者。涉及的赠款总数为33项，比去年增加了8项。今年，研究机器人协调的获奖者也将参加。机器人和机器智能项目获得的这些奖项证明了该领域正在向其他项目资助领域发展。研讨会的目的是：首先，为这个年轻的跨学科领域提供一个以观点、发现、方法和理论的形式交流知识的论坛。第二，为该领域的整合和发展提供机会。虽然研究人员群体的某些子集在各种专业会议上混杂在一起，但作为一个整体，这些研究人员并不经常联系。讲习班为确立工作领域的特性和规划后续活动提供了机会。第三，这为这些项目的研究提供了一个机会，让华盛顿的研究资助和政策团体更容易看到这些项目。本次研讨会为IT&amp；O计划提供了一个规划机会。CTCT资助和社区建设的未来研究议程是研讨会计划的重要组成部分。讲习班将于1993年7月8日至10日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。将编写并提供一份讲习班报告。//

This is an award to fund a workshop composed of NSF grantees whose awards were made in the two years of competitions under the Coordination Theory and Collaboration Technology (CTCT) Initiative and grantees of subsequent awards in these fields. The total number of grants involved is thirty-three, an increase of eight from last year. This year, awardees whose research is in robotic coordination will also participate. Those awards made from the Robotics and Machine Intelligence Program constitute evidence of the growth of the field into other program funding domains. The purposes of the workshop are: First, to provide a forum for the exchange of knowledge in the form of perspectives, findings, methods and theory for this young, interdisciplinary field. Second, to provide an opportunity for the field to coalesce and grow. While certain subsets of the community of researchers mingle at various professional meetings, as a whole, these investigators do not have regular contact. The workshop provides an opportunity to establish an identity for the area of work and to plan subsequent activities. Third, this provides an opportunity for the research from these projects to be made more visible to the Washington-based research funding and policy community. This workshop represents a planning opportunity for the IT&O Program. The future research agenda for CTCT funding and community-building is an important part of the workshop program. The workshop will be held on July 8-10, 1993 in Arlington, Virginia. A workshop report will be prepared and made available. //
