Bringing Information Technology to Infrastructure: A Workshop to Develop a Research Agenda to be held in Washington, DC, in the Fall of 2000

信息技术继续以惊人的速度增长，并越来越多地用于民用基础设施系统，以规划这些系统和管理业务。需要确定综合信息技术和民用基础设施系统的研究领域，以确保这些系统是为它们提供的服务而设计的。这个项目是一个讲习班，目的是制订一项综合信息技术和基础设施领域的研究议程。讲习班将由纽约大学罗伯特·f·瓦格纳公共事务研究生院的民用基础设施系统研究所（ICIS）主持。ICIS是由四所大学组成的多学科合作伙伴关系，专注于为社区、用户和基础设施管理者提供基础设施服务。研讨会将于2000年秋季举行，为期2-5天。将准备一份白皮书草案，集中讨论研讨会的讨论。它将汇集各领域的专业人员，他们将在研讨会之前编写总结文件。会议地点将设在华盛顿特区，以便最大限度地吸引全国范围内的政府机构和组织的观察员参加。最终结果将以论文和电子报告的形式传播，以帮助形成将基础设施和信息技术联系起来的研究议程。

Information technologies continue to grow at an enormous rate and are used for civil infrastructure systems to an increasing extent to plan these systems and manage operations. Areas of research need to be identified that integrate information technologies and civil infrastructure systems to ensure these systems are designed for the services they provide. This project is a workshop to develop a research agenda for integrating the areas of information technology and infrastructure.The workshop will be conducted by the Institute for Civil Infrastructure Systems (ICIS) at New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. ICIS is a multidisciplinary partnership of four universities that focuses on infrastructure services for communities, users, and infrastructure managers. The workshop will be held in the fall of 2000 over a 2-5 day period. A draft white paper will be prepared to focus the workshop discussion. It will bring together professionals in various fields who will prepare summary papers prior to the workshop. The location will be in Washington, DC in order to maximize attendance by observers from government agencies and organizations that are national to scope. Final results will be disseminated in the form of a paper and electronic report to help shape research agendas that link infrastructure and information technology.
