1999 NSF Information and Data Management Workshop: Research Agenda for the 21st Century -- IDM 99

IDM 99研讨会得到了机构间赠款IIS-9904998，阿方索卡德纳斯，加州大学洛杉矶分校和IIS-9905026，爱德华福克斯，弗吉尼亚理工学院的支持。研讨会于1999年3月7日至9日在洛杉矶的加州大学举行。最近计算机和网络技术及存储方面的进步、出版业的爆炸式增长以及从卫星等来源获得的数据的大量增加，使得出现了数量空前的新的计算机应用程序，对数据和信息的使用和管理方式提出了新的挑战。这一挑战将塑造研究议程以及为21世纪世纪开发的技术。研讨会的目的是汇集目前由国家科学基金会信息和数据管理计划（IDM）资助的PI和Co-PI，作为两个社区的代表，即信息管理（通常称为信息检索）和数据管理（通常称为数据库管理），沿着选定的行业和政府受邀者，以便：（1）以合作方式（a）确定在应对这一新挑战方面取得进展的根本问题;（B）具体说明可能取得重大突破的领域;（c）确定所需的合作（例如，（2）就IDM资助的主要研究活动的目标、贡献和挑战进行分享、提供示范和互动，并探讨富有成效的合作和协同作用;和（3）为NSF、其他资助机构和行业代表提供机会，以了解更多关于IDM资助项目的当前研究工作和成功，并分享他们的重点和关注点。讲习班将产生会议记录，其中包括关于目前由工业发展基金资助的所有项目的报告，这些记录将以硬拷贝和电子形式在网上广泛传播。项目报告可以通过不同的标准进行搜索，并提供与NSF的GPRA绩效计划成果目标相关的信息（例如，发现与其服务于社会之间的联系）。此外，讲习班的结果将在一份报告中提出，这份报告将有助于制定信息和数据管理研究的未来方向，并将建议学术界和工业界有希望的研究模式，以促进创新和技术转让。讲习班的网址（http：//www.cs.ucla.edu/csd/IDM 99）还将包括其他有关材料的链接。

The IDM99 Workshop is supported by the interinstitutional grants IIS-9904998, Alfonso Cardenas, UCLA and IIS-9905026, Edward Fox, Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The workshop is held March 7-9, 1999 at the University of California, Los Angeles. The recent advances in computer and network technologies and storage, the explosion of publishing, and the vast increase in data availability from such sources as satellites, that have enabled the emergence of an unprecedented number of new computer applications, present a new challenge to the ways data and information are used and managed. This challenge will shape both the research agenda as well as the technology to be developed for the 21st century. The objective of the workshop is to bring together the PIs and Co-PIs currently funded by the Information and Data Management Program (IDM) of the National Science Foundation as representatives of two communities, that is, information management (often referred to as information retrieval) and data management (often referred to as database management), along with selected industry and government invitees, to: (1) cooperatively (a) identify the problems that are fundamental in making progress toward this new challenge; (b) specify areas where major breakthroughs appear possible; (c) identify needed collaborations (e.g., inter-disciplinary, academic-industry); and (d) identify research initiatives and facilities needed to meet this and future challenges; (2) share, provide demonstrations and interact with each other on the objectives, contributions and challenges of major research activities funded by the IDM and explore fruitful collaboration and synergism; and (3) provide an opportunity to NSF, other funding agencies, and industry representatives to learn more about the current research efforts and successes of projects funded by IDM, and as well as to share their highlights and concerns. The workshop will generate proceedings, that include reports on all projects currently funded by IDM, which will be widely disseminated in both hard copy and electronic form on the Web. The project reports are searchable by different criteria and provide information relevant to NSF's GPRA Performance Plan Outcome Goals (e.g., connections between discoveries and their use in service to society). Further, the findings of the workshop will be presented in a report that will help in formulating future directions of research in information and data management and will suggest promising modalities of research in academia and industry with an aim to foster innovation as well as technology transfer.
