项目摘要

ABSTRACTThe US/New Zealand/Australia conference and workshop on the Future Security of Infrastructure is being held in Wellington, New Zealand on August 8-11, 2005. The main purpose of the conference is to provide an international expert forum to examine the linkages and failure implications between infrastructure vulnerability economic consequences and human social impacts. The identification and evaluation of cascading failure of infrastructure systems requires better understanding of the interactions and interdependencies within the physical infrastructure components and their relationships to the economic and social infrastructure of a region. The goals of the conference and workshop are to develop a set of recommendations for moving forward in this area, producing a significant publication on infrastructure, and beginning joint collaborations.This award provides support for United States participation in this important meeting. The funds will support a team of ten leading researchers from the fields of civil engineering, economics, and policy science. The team of six men and four women are esteemed infrastructure researchers. The proposal has strong intellectual merit in that New Zealand is one of the few countries where researchers can currently access information and study the implications of cascading failures across different infrastructure systems. Therefore, US participants will be able to learn from the New Zealand researchers and develop collaborative projects. The outcomes of the conference and workshop have the potential to make a significant impact upon understanding infrastructure system cascading failures. This award is co-funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering.

美国/新西兰/澳大利亚关于未来基础设施安全的会议和研讨会于2005年8月8-11日在新西兰的惠灵顿举行。会议的主要目的是提供一个国际专家论坛，审查基础设施脆弱性、经济后果和人类社会影响之间的联系和失败的影响。要查明和评价基础设施系统的连锁故障，就需要更好地了解有形基础设施各组成部分之间的相互作用和相互依存关系及其与区域经济和社会基础设施的关系。会议和讲习班的目标是为推进这一领域的工作提出一套建议，编写一份关于基础设施的重要出版物，并开始联合合作。这些资金将支持一个由土木工程、经济学和政策科学领域的10名顶尖研究人员组成的团队。这个由六名男性和四名女性组成的团队是受人尊敬的基础设施研究人员。该提案具有很强的学术价值，因为新西兰是研究人员目前能够获得信息并研究不同基础设施系统连锁故障影响的少数几个国家之一。因此，美国参与者将能够向新西兰研究人员学习并开发合作项目。会议和研讨会的成果有可能对理解基础设施系统级联故障产生重大影响。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。
