Workshop and Forum on Technology Deployment for a National Information Infrastructure

这是由美国国家研究委员会（NRC）物理科学、数学和应用委员会的计算机科学和电信委员会（CSTB）提交的一个项目的初始资金。CSTB为学术界、商界和工业界组织了一个多阶段的召集活动，以考虑近期国家信息基础设施（NII）预期的技术和服务的部署，它们与NII框架下具有代表性的关键应用的关系，以及它们预期的互操作性程度。本项目下的活动包括：举办一次初步研讨会，整理需要达成共识的各类信息；根据初步研讨会的成果征集白皮书，探索工业、技术和应用方面的观点；召开一次更大的论坛，发布和讨论白皮书中提出的观点；并将所有这些活动和其他人生成的相关报告的见解综合为简洁的摘要，以告知NII路线图开发的初始阶段的发展。

This is the initial funding of a project submitted by the Computer Sciences and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) of the Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications of the National Research Council (NRC). The CSTB organizes a multi-stage convening activity for academia, business, and industry to consider the deployment of technologies and services expected for the near- term national information infrastructure (NII), their relationships to key applications which are representative of those under the NII umbrella, and their anticipated degree of interoperability. Activities under this project include an initial workshop to structure the kinds of information on which common understanding is desired, a solicitation of white papers to explore industry, technology, and applications perspectives based on the outcome of the initial workshop, convening of a larger forum to air and discuss perspectives presented in the white papers, and a synthesis of the insights from all these activities and from related reports generated by others into a succinct summary to inform the development of the initial phase of the NII roadmap development.
