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

这一奖项是为了资助一个研讨会，该研讨会由国家科学基金会的获奖者组成，这些获奖者是在协调理论和协作技术(CTCT)倡议下的两年比赛中获奖的，以及这些领域随后获奖的获奖者。涉及的助学金总数为三十三个，比去年增加了八个。今年，研究机器人协调的获奖者也将参加。这些来自机器人和机器智能计划的奖项是该领域发展到其他计划资助领域的证据。讲习班的目的是：第一，为这一年轻的跨学科领域提供一个以观点、结果、方法和理论的形式交流知识的论坛。第二，为油田提供联合和发展的机会。尽管研究人员群体中的某些群体在各种专业会议上混在一起，但作为一个整体，这些研究人员并没有定期联系。讲习班为确定工作领域的特性和规划后续活动提供了机会。第三，这为华盛顿的研究资助和政策界提供了一个机会，让这些项目的研究更容易被看到。此次研讨会为IT&A；O计划提供了一个规划机会。关于CTCT资助和社区建设的未来研究议程是研讨会计划的一个重要部分。研讨会将于1993年7月8日至10日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。将编写并提供一份研讨会报告。//

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. //
