The proposed workshop will provide a forum to stimulate creative thought and?@productive interactions among scientists whose research interests lie at the interface between two diverse and vibrant fields, Computing Science and Biology.?@?@These two scientific communities have a history of mutual influence whereby the?@transfer of ideas, approaches, and technologies has significantly advanced both?@fields. Recently, it has become apparent that a similar set of scientific questions?@are being asked by computer scientists and biologists. The identification and?@articulation of shared organizing principles is the next logical step in the ongoing?@dialogue, and a workshop that brings together leading researchers whose?@research bridges the two fields is an ideal venue to achieve these goals. The?@proposed workshop will include both informational and ?gbrainstorming?h sessions?@in which participants will discuss the current state of the art, key challenges and?@mechanisms to catalyze advances in this important emerging research area.?@?@The specific topics to be covered are (1) information representation and?@processing; (2) networks and communication; (3) system synthesis and design;?@(4) control systems; and (5) learning and adaptation.Intellectual merit: The proposed workshop is an outgrowth of the activities of?@the CISE-BIO Working Group, which is comprised of NSF Program Directors who?@have been meeting for over a year to discuss strategies to promote research at?@the interface between these two Directorates. Through an exploration of the?@above mentioned areas, the proposed workshop seeks to enhance existing?@programs and identify new directions, with the ultimate goal of creating an?@integrated discipline in which shared organizing principles from the Biological and?@Computing Sciences will give rise to new paradigms that are distinct from, yet?@related to, those that drive research in the parent fields.Broader impacts: The proposed workshop will be a true ?gmeeting of minds?h by?@virtue of bringing together a diverse group of scientists who do not normally?@attend the same conferences. In addition to developing a clearer vision for future?@research at the interface between Computing and Biological Science, it is?@expected that specific new collaborations will be forged at the workshop. The?@discussion topics, identified challenges and proposed future directions will be?@disseminated online after the workshop to enhance awareness of these initiatives?@among a broad and diverse audience. This is expected to attract students as?@well as more established scientists to undertake research at the CISE-BIO?@interface.

拟议中的研讨会将提供一个论坛，激发科学家之间的创造性思维和富有成效的互动，他们的研究兴趣位于计算科学和生物学这两个不同和充满活力的领域之间的交界处。这两个科学界有着相互影响的历史，思想、方法和技术的转移极大地促进了这两个领域的发展。最近，很明显，计算机科学家和生物学家正在提出一组类似的科学问题。确定和阐明共同的组织原则是正在进行的？@对话的下一个合乎逻辑的步骤，一个将领先研究人员聚集在一起的研讨会是实现这些目标的理想场所，他们的？@研究将这两个领域联系在一起。拟议的研讨会将包括信息会议和头脑风暴会议，在这些会议上，与会者将讨论当前的技术水平、关键挑战和促进这一重要新兴研究领域进展的机制。将涵盖的具体主题包括：(1)信息表示和处理；(2)网络和通信；(3)系统综合和设计；(4)控制系统；以及(5)学习和适应。智力优势：拟议的研讨会是CEISE-BIO工作组活动的产物，该工作组由NSF计划主任组成，他们已经会面一年多，讨论在这两个理事会之间的接口促进研究的战略。通过对上述领域的探索，拟议的研讨会试图加强现有的计划并确定新的方向，最终目标是创建一个整合的学科，其中来自生物和计算科学的共同组织原则将产生与推动母领域研究的那些截然不同但又相关的新范式。广泛影响：拟议的研讨会将是一次真正的思想聚会，因为它将一群不同的科学家聚集在一起，他们通常不会参加相同的会议。除了在计算和生物科学之间的界面上制定更清晰的未来愿景？@研究之外，预计研讨会上还将形成具体的新合作。讨论主题、确定的挑战和提出的未来方向将在讲习班结束后在网上传播，以提高广大不同受众对这些举措的认识。预计这将吸引学生以及更多的资深科学家在CEISE-BIO？@界面上进行研究。
