Computing Researech for Environmental and Societal Sustainability

计算具有许多潜在的“绿色”应用，包括改善节能、加强能源管理、减少碳排放和改善环境保护。国家研究理事会的计算机科学和电信委员会将任命一个特设研究委员会，计划和举办一个由大约40名专家参加的讲习班，探讨研究主题和具体的研究机会，以促进这些能源和环境目标，并促进计算机科学的发展，并考虑研究模式，重点是适用的计算技术和长期的研究机会。 在第二阶段，将准备一份共识报告，确定有前途的研究机会，目录适用的计算技术，制定了一个整体框架，为“绿色”计算研究，并建议长期的研究目标和方向。

Computing has many potential 'green' applications including improving energy conservation, enhancing energy management, reducing carbon emissions, and improving environmental protection. The Computer Science and Telecommunications Board of the National Research Council will appoint an ad hoc study committee to plan and conduct a workshop involving approximately 40 experts that will explore research themes and specific research opportunities that could advance these energy and environmental objectives and also result in advances in computer science and consider research modalities, with a focus on applicable computational techniques and long-term research opportunities. In phase 2, a consensus report will be prepared that identifies promising research opportunities, catalogs applicable computational techniques, lays out an overall framework for 'green' computing research, and recommends long-term research objectives and directions.
