Workshop: Western Hemisphere Collaboration in Computer Science and Engineering

这是一个为期一年的标准奖。 该提案要求资金支持一个讲习班，以促进西半球在计算机科学和工程方面的合作，以解决区域和全球问题。 这次会议是由美国国家科学基金会和美洲国家组织联合主办的，将于1999年8月10日至12日在墨西哥科利马州曼萨尼约举行。该讲习班将汇集来自34个西半球国家（加拿大、美国和拉丁美洲及加勒比国家）的主要计算机科学和工程研究人员以及联邦机构的代表。 与会者将讨论西半球合作的好处和障碍，确定将作为解决区域和全球问题的研究试验台的项目，并提出成功的合作模式。拟议的研讨会预计将产生具体的建议，建立一个新的多国计划，以支持西半球在计算机科学和工程的合作。

This is a one-year standard award. This proposal requests funds to support a workshop to promote Western Hemisphere collaboration in computer science and engineering to solve regional and global problems. The meeting, to be jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Organization of the American States, will be held in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico between August 10-12, 1999. The workshop will bring together leading computer science and engineering researchers and representatives of federal agencies from 34 Western Hemisphere countries (Canada, United States and Latin American and Caribbean nations). The participants will discuss benefits and barriers to Western Hemisphere collaboration, identify projects that will serve as research testbeds for solving regional and global problems, and propose collaboration models to their success. The proposed workshop is expected to produce specific recommendations to establish a new multinational program to support Western Hemisphere collaboration in computer science and engineering.
