The initiative must be designed to attract the best researchers from both the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) community and, crucially, the other scientific and engineering disciplines in which the ideas are to be applied. In preparing a detailed initiative, it is essential to incorporate the advice and cooperation of leading researchers in all these fields. For this purpose it is proposed to hold two two-day planning workshops, with thirty to forty participants in each. About a third of the participants will be invited speakers, a third will beinvited discussants, and a third will be selected from the TCS community. The distinguishing feature of these workshops will be their multidisciplinary nature; experts from different areas will be invited and asked to focus on the computational lens and its use in solving problems from their field. The first workshop is tentatively planned for early December, 2006 at Princeton University, and the second for mid-March, 2007 at Caltech. Because of the wideranging nature of the scientific disciplines involved, the first workshop will focus on Biological and Earth Sciences, and the second on Physical and Mathematical Sciences. A report for the NSF based on the workshops will be completed by Summer, 2007.The intellectual merit of this proposal is the development of viable, promising courses of future interaction between CS and other disciplines. The broader impact will be that upon follow-on research: both directly by participants in the workshops, but ultimately much more widely if the workshops lead to an NSFcross-cutting initiative.

该倡议的设计必须吸引来自理论计算机科学界(TCS)的最优秀的研究人员，更重要的是，吸引将这些想法应用于其中的其他科学和工程学科的最好研究人员。在制定一项详细的倡议时，至关重要的是纳入所有这些领域的主要研究人员的建议和合作。为此目的，拟举办两个为期两天的规划讲习班，每个讲习班有30至40人参加。约三分之一的参与者将被邀请发言，三分之一的参与者将被邀请讨论，三分之一的参与者将从塔塔咨询服务社区中挑选出来。这些讲习班的特点将是其多学科性质；将邀请来自不同领域的专家，并请他们重点讲解计算透镜及其在解决各自领域的问题中的用途。第一次研讨会暂定于2006年12月初在普林斯顿大学举行，第二次研讨会将于2007年3月中旬在加州理工大学举行。由于所涉及的科学学科性质广泛，第一个讲习班将侧重于生物和地球科学，第二个讲习班将侧重于物理和数学科学。一份以研讨会为基础的国家科学基金会报告将于2007年夏天完成。这项提议的学术价值是开发出可行的、有前途的课程，未来CS与其他学科之间的互动。更广泛的影响将是对后续研究的影响：这两种影响都是由讲习班的参与者直接进行的，但如果讲习班导致了一项跨领域倡议，则最终将产生更广泛的影响。
