An I/UCRC Center for Visual Decision Informatics

0832420路易斯安那大学拉斐特分校路易斯安那大学拉斐特分校(UL Lafayette)寻求与俄勒冈州立大学合作，成立一个新的美国国家科学基金会工业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)，用于视觉决策信息学。该联盟的重点将是开发利用现代计算机硬件和软件的新的视觉和分析方法，并开发可应用于这一复杂的基于数据的决策过程的分析和发现工具。该方法利用高度身临其境的环境，灵活和实时地处理大量数据，其潜在的稳健性有可能在各种领域取得突破。拟议的综合/城市资源中心将提供一系列服务，与其他教育、研究和技术转让单位相辅相成。它将为学生和教职员工提供一个平台，进行与行业相关的研究，并获得宝贵的实践经验，否则这些经验无法从教科书和研究出版物中获得。拟建的中心将通过其正在进行的外展计划以及通过在该地区历史上的黑人学院和大学进行推广来招募女性和少数族裔。拟建的中心还将促进、催化和加速技术创新的商业化。

0832420 University of Louisiana at Lafayette Vijay RaghavanThe University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL Lafayette) seeks to partner with Oregon State University and form a new NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Visual Decision Informatics. The focus of this consortium will be to develop new visual and analytic methods that leverage modern computer hardware and software, and develop analysis and discovery tools that can be applied to this complex data-based decision-making process. The potential robustness of the approach utilizing highly immersive environments with flexible and real-time manipulation of large amounts of data has the potential to make breakthroughs in a variety of fields. The proposed I/UCRC will provide a series of services complementary to other education, research and technology transfer units. It will provide students and faculty a platform to conduct industry-relevant research and gain valuable practical experience that otherwise cannot be gained from textbooks and research publications. The proposed center will recruit women and minorities through its ongoing outreach programs and through promotions with historically black colleges and universities in the region. The proposed center will also promote, catalyze and accelerate the commercialization of technology innovations.
