Workshop on Effective Engagement and Collaboration of US CISE Researchers with Their Counterparts in China

该项目将于2011年5月23日至24日在弗吉尼亚州的阿灵顿举行为期两天的研讨会。研讨会的目的是交流中美学术合作的思想、方法、成功案例、警示故事和未来方向。研讨会的目标是促进研究新的途径，以鼓励和实现有意义的合作研究项目，以利用新发现的和预期的未来增长的研究和教育能力在中国的计算。研讨会的主要参与者将是美国的学术学者。研讨会还将邀请在中国的学者，以及NSF和其他政府机构的官员。这次研讨会的学术价值是双重的。首先，通过交流经验，与会者将进一步深入了解中国的教育结构和研究项目，以及它们与美国的差异。第二，与会者将确定研究领域和方法，使CISE研究人员在中国。最终，研讨会将导致更多的CISE研究人员在中国的参与，并改善我们在国内机构的教育和研究计划。研讨会的更广泛的影响反映在希望美国和中国的CISE研究人员之间的更多合作将有利于CISE研究和教育的更快发展，并使两国的学术界受益。更具体地说，研讨会的更广泛影响包括美国和中国研究人员之间合作项目的数量和规模有可能强劲增长。研讨会还将汇集更多不同的团队，以跨越国际边界的关键研究问题。最后，美中合作的增加将成为学术界分享教育工具和经验的有效渠道，同时将研究成果融入当地课程。

This project is to hold a two-day workshop in Arlington, Virginia on May 23-24, 2011. The purpose of the workshop is to exchange ideas, methods, success stories, cautionary tales, and future directions regarding academic collaboration between US and China institutions. The goal of the workshop is to foster investigating new avenues to encourage and enable meaningful collaborative research projects in computing to leverage the newly found and expected future growth of research and education capabilities in China. The main participants of the workshop will be US-based academic scholars. The workshop will also invite scholars based in China, as well as officials of NSF and other government agencies. The intellectual merit of this workshop is twofold. First, the workshop, through exchange of experiences, participants will gain further insightful understanding of the Chinese education structures and research programs, and their differences from those of the US. Second, the participants will identify research fields and methods to engage CISE researchers in China. Ultimately, the workshop will lead to more engagement of CISE researchers in China and improve our education and research programs at our home institutions. The broader impacts of the workshop are reflected in the hope that more collaborations between US-based and China-based CISE researchers will benefit the faster advancement of CISE research and education, and benefit the academic communities of both countries. More specifically, the broader impacts of the workshop include potential for strong growth in the number and scale of collaborative projects between US and Chinese researchers. The workshop will also bring together more diverse teams to bear on critical research problems across International borders. Finally, the increase in US-China collaborations will serve as an effective channel for academics to share educational tools and experiences while integrating research results into local curricula.
