Promoting Distributed Knowledge Systems

该项目将启动一个进程，以整合与若干以国家科学基金会为基础的倡议有关的新观点，这些倡议围绕开发和广泛应用基于网络的信息系统展开。NAS/CSTB将组织一次圆桌会议，将来自NSF和其他联邦机构、私人基金会和其他私营部门研究支助来源的高管聚集在一起，以促进互动和可能的合作。其近期目标是促进信息交流，并促进在关键的公共和私营部门组织中更广泛和更有效地发展对相关研究项目的支持。在一定程度上，召开这项活动是为了最大限度地发挥国家科学基金会潜在的和新的知识和分布式智能倡议，包括知识联网、学习和智能系统，以及多机构的下一代互联网、数字图书馆和普遍获取倡议。许多植根于信息技术的相关研究项目也涵盖了各种科学和工程学科，这些学科为计算机科学和工程提供了补充，使人们能够洞察人们如何使用或可能使用信息技术。

This project will initiative a process for integrating emerging perspectives relevant to several NSF-based initiatives that revolve around the development and broad application of network-based information systems. The NAS/CSTB will organize a roundtable to bring togehter executives from NSF and other federal agencies, private foundations, and other sources of private sector research support to facilitate interactions and possible collaboration. Its near-term goal is to foster information exchange and promote broader and more effective development of support for relevant research programs across key public and private sector organizations. In part this activity is convened to maximize the potential and new National Science Foundation Knowledge And Distributed Intelligence initiatives including knowledge networking, learning and intelligent systems, as well as the multi-agency Next Generation Internet, digital libraries, and universal access initiatives. Many relevant research programs rooted in information technology also embrace a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines, which complement computer science and engineering with insight into how people do or might use information technology.
