REU Site: Incentive-Centered Design for Cyberinfrastructure

智力价值：该REU网站奖授予密歇根大学信息学院，致力于促进本科生的智力发展，并为他们在以激励为中心的网络基础设施设计中从事社会科学和信息技术交叉领域的职业做好准备。他们将在国内一些领先的信息实验室进行研究。分布式和协作系统的性能严重依赖于交互，然而这种交互通常是无效的和低效的。这种培训将解决这些效率低下的问题。更广泛的影响：与各种组织和韦恩州立大学的合作将有助于招收妇女、代表性不足的少数民族和来自研究项目有限的机构的学生。

Intellectual Merit:This REU Site award to the University of Michigan's School of Information is dedicated to furthering undergraduate intellectual growth and preparing them for careers at the intersection of the social sciences and information technology in incentive-centered design for cyberinfrastructure. They will conduct research in some of the country's leading information laboratories. Performance of distributed and collaborative systems critically depends on interactions, yet such interactions are often ineffective and inefficient. this training will address these inefficiencies.Broader Impact:Partnerships with various organizations and with Wayne State will assist in recruitment of women, underrepresented minorities and students from institutions with limited research programs.
