Workshop and Forum on Technology Deployment for a National Information Infrastructure

这是国家研究委员会(NRC)物理科学、数学和应用委员会(NRC)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、企业界和工业界组织了一次多阶段的召集活动，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，它们与代表NII框架下的关键应用的关系，以及它们预期的互操作性程度。该项目下的活动包括：举办一次初步讲习班，以确定需要达成共识的各类信息的结构；征集白皮书，以根据初步讲习班的成果探讨行业、技术和应用前景；召开一个更大的论坛，宣传和讨论白皮书中提出的观点；将所有这些活动和其他机构编写的相关报告中的见解综合成一份简明摘要，以便为制定国家基础设施路线图的初始阶段提供信息。

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.
