This workshop uses recognized experts in information technologies to improve our understanding of the appropriate use of information technology in sustainable development. We intend to look particularly closely at remote environments recently affected by conflict and natural disasters. Attention will be directed toward methods of collecting and relaying information between a remote local population and their environment, and we intend to evaluate both the methods and metrics of collection and the capability for remote, high-dimensional visualization of those complex local systems. The hypothesis is that collecting health information locally with the capability of remote visualization can offer a quantitative and predictive method for community analysis. With careful attention to design, and iterative feedback for the community, we expect to offer earlier recognition of a spectrum of possible threats. Information collected, analyzed, and iterated may improve health while guiding local development sustainability, thereby improving regional stability. Better understanding the ecology and epidemiology of locations distant in geography and in culture broadens our global insight and benefits national security.

这个讲习班利用公认的信息技术专家来提高我们对在可持续发展中适当利用信息技术的理解。我们打算特别仔细地研究最近受冲突和自然灾害影响的偏远环境。重点将放在收集和传递偏远地区人口及其环境之间的信息的方法上，我们打算评估收集的方法和指标以及对这些复杂的当地系统进行远程、高维可视化的能力。假设在本地收集健康信息并具有远程可视化能力，可以为社区分析提供定量和预测的方法。通过对设计的仔细关注，以及对社区的迭代反馈，我们希望能够更早地识别出一系列可能的威胁。收集、分析和迭代的信息可以改善健康，同时指导地方发展的可持续性，从而改善区域稳定。更好地了解地理和文化上遥远地区的生态和流行病学，拓宽了我们的全球视野，有利于国家安全。
