WORKSHOP: Advances in Computers and Computational Sciences.

学术成就本项目旨在资助美国教师和研究人员参加2005年在北京举行的首届中美计算机与计算科学研讨会（WCCS）。研讨会的目的是加强计算机科学领域的研究交流，促进该领域专家之间的成功合作。WCCS提供了一个论坛来展示计算机和计算科学、工程和技术的最新进展。它还提供了一个平台，讨论所遇到的实际挑战和迄今为止所采取的解决办法。更广泛的影响WCCS的一个特殊目标是弥合研究界和应用领域之间的差距，并促进两个地理区域（美国和亚洲）内这两个社区之间的讨论和技术交流。因此，我们邀请了计算机科学界的顶尖研究人员加入技术计划委员会。我们相信，通过为选定的美国科学家提供资金（否则他们将无法参加由于资金障碍），这些个人和整体研讨会的目标将受益。出席会议的旅费资助将在全国范围内刊登广告;将特别鼓励妇女、少数民族和残疾教职员工和研究人员申请赞助。首要目标是为未来的合作建立联系，并允许交流想法和解决方案。

Intellectual MeritThis proposal seeks to sponsor U.S. faculty and researchers to attend the first SINO-USWorkshop on Computer and Computational Sciences (WCCS) to be held in Beijing 2005. Thepurpose of the workshop is to strengthen research exchange in computer sciences, and topromote successful collaborations between experts in the field. WCCS provides a forum forpresenting the latest advances in computer and computational sciences, engineering, andtechnologies. It also provides a platform for discussing the practical challengesencountered and the solutions adopted thus far. Broader ImpactA particular aim of WCCS is to bridge the gap between the research community and theapplication domains, and to foster discussion and technology exchange between these twocommunities within the two geographic regions (US and Asia). As such, we have invitedtop-notch researchers in the computer science community to serve on the TechnicalProgram Committee. We believe that by offering funding for selected U.S. scientists (who would not otherwisebe able to attend due to monetary obstacle), these individuals and the overall workshop goals will benefit. Travel support for attendance will be advertised nationwide; women,minorities and disabled faculty and researchers will be especially encouraged to apply forsponsorship.The foremost goal is to establish contacts for future collaborations and to allow for ideasand solutions to be exchanged.
