This award supports a workshop on Distributed Information, Computation, and Process Management for Scientific and Engineering Environments, held in Herndon, VA on May 15-16, 1998. The workshop organizer is Professor Nicholas M. Patrikalakis from MIT. Workshop participants are researchers in the field of computer science and domain specialists from the sciences and engineering disciplines. Advances in the research on complex physical and man-made systems, especially those exhibiting interacting dynamic processes and disparate spatial and temporal scales, generate new requirements for information and computational environments and infrastructure. Towards the goal of satisfying these requirements, the primary topics of the workshop include the application of digital library technology for scientific simulation; the design and implementation of cross-domain simulation integration; metadata models and search/retrieval mechanisms for scientific software; networking issues for transparent access and sharing of data, including automatic generalized data translation and remote software invocation; and emerging standards for distributed simulations. The goal of the workshop is to stimulate research activities in fundamental technologies that will enable easy access to distributed computational, data and various information resources by scientists and researchers in diverse fields. The workshop will produce an advisory document outlining open problems and proposed avenues of research in distributed simulation, analysis, and information systems. The report will be widely disseminated and also available on-line. The application of further research efforts along these lines will help to increase the availability, effectiveness, and utilization of large-scale, cross-disciplinary distributed scientific systems, and facilitate research activities. http://deslab.mit.edu/DesignLab/dicpm/

该奖项支持1998年5月15-16日在弗吉尼亚州Herndon举行的科学和工程环境分布式信息、计算和过程管理研讨会。研讨会的组织者是麻省理工学院的Nicholas M. Patrikalakis教授。研讨会的参与者是计算机科学领域的研究人员和来自科学和工程学科的领域专家。复杂的物理和人为系统的研究进展，特别是那些表现出相互作用的动态过程和不同的空间和时间尺度，产生了对信息和计算环境和基础设施的新要求。为了满足这些需求，研讨会的主要议题包括数字图书馆技术在科学仿真中的应用；跨域仿真集成的设计与实现科学软件的元数据模型和检索机制数据透明访问和共享的网络问题，包括自动通用数据转换和远程软件调用；以及分布式模拟的新兴标准。讲习班的目标是促进基础技术方面的研究活动，使不同领域的科学家和研究人员能够容易地获得分布式计算、数据和各种信息资源。研讨会将产生一份咨询文件，概述分布式模拟、分析和信息系统的开放问题和建议的研究途径。该报告将广泛散发，也可在网上查阅。沿着这些方向进一步研究工作的应用将有助于增加大规模、跨学科分布式科学系统的可用性、有效性和利用率，并促进研究活动。http://deslab.mit.edu/DesignLab/dicpm/
