NSF IDM PI Workshop 2003

信息和数据管理首席调查人员研讨会(IDM03)于2003年9月14日至16日在华盛顿州西雅图举行。年度研讨会的目的是聚集研究人员和从业人员讨论重点议题，并确定和阐述未来活动的特别重点。IDM03研讨会的重点是将国际数据管理研究人员作为两个社区的代表聚集在一起；即信息管理(通常称为数据库管理)，以及选定的行业和政府受邀者，以：(1)合作分析和集中于对这一新挑战取得进展至关重要的问题的研究和开发问题；(2)具体说明可能出现重大突破的领域；(3)确定需要的合作(例如，跨学科、学术和行业)；和(4)确定应对当前和未来挑战所需的研究举措和设施；(2)就国际疾病管理计划资助的主要研究活动的目标、贡献和挑战进行交流、示范和相互交流，并探索富有成效的合作和协同；(3)为国家科学基金会项目官员、其他资助机构和行业代表提供机会，以更多地了解国家科学基金会资助的项目的当前研究努力和成功，并让这些官员分享他们的计划亮点和关注事项。IDM03研讨会网站(http://www2.cs.washington.edu/nsf2003/)将包含关于当前由国际疾病管理计划资助的所有项目的报告，提供可按不同标准搜索的最新项目信息，包括与国家科学基金会的政府绩效和结果法案目标相关的信息(例如，发现与其在社会服务中的使用之间的联系)。IDM03讲习班的讨论将产生一份报告，该报告将有助于制定国际数据管理和相关领域未来的研究方向，并将提出学术界和工业界有希望的研究模式，目的是促进创新和技术转让。该网站还将包括指向其他相关材料的链接。

The Information and Data Management Principal Investigators' Workshop (IDM03) is held September 14 - 16, 2003 in Seattle, Washington. The objective of the annual workshops is bringing together researchers and practitioners to discuss the focus topics as well as to identify and elaborate on particular emphases for future activities.The IDM03 Workshop is focusing on bringing together IDM researchers as representatives of two communities; that is, information management (often referred to as database management), along with selected industry and government invitees, to: (1) cooperatively (i) analyze and focus on the research and development issues of problems that are fundamental in making progress towards this new challenge; (ii) specify areas where major breakthroughs appear possible; (iii) identify needed collaborations (e.g., inter-disciplinary, academic-industry); and (iv) 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 Program and explore fruitful collaboration and synergism; (3) provide an opportunity to NSF program officers, other funding agencies, and industry representatives to learn more about the current research efforts and successes of projects funded by IDM, and for such officers to share their program highlights and concerns.The IDM03 Workshop Web site (http://www2.cs.washington.edu/nsf2003/) will contain reports on all projects currently funded by the IDM Program, providing up-to-date project information searchable by different criteria, including information relevant to NSF's Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) goals (e.g., connections between discoveries and their use in service to society). The IDM03 Workshop discussions will result in a report that will help in formulating future directions of research in IDM and related areas and will suggest promising modalities of research in academia and industry with an aim to foster innovation as well as technology transfer. The Web site will also include links to other relevant material.
