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日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行为期两天的研讨会。研讨会的目的是就美国和中国机构之间的学术合作交流想法、方法、成功案例、警示故事和未来方向。研讨会的目标是促进调查的新途径，以鼓励和支持有意义的计算合作研究项目，以利用中国新发现的和预期的未来研究和教育能力的增长。研讨会的主要参与者将是美国的学术学者。研讨会还将邀请中国的学者，以及国家科学基金会和其他政府机构的官员。这个研讨会的学术价值是双重的。首先，通过经验交流，与会者将进一步深入了解中国的教育结构和研究计划，以及它们与美国的差异。第二，参与者将确定研究领域和方法，以吸引CISE研究人员对中国进行研究。最终，研讨会将使更多的CESE研究人员参与到中国的研究中来，并改进我们国内机构的教育和研究项目。研讨会的更广泛影响体现在希望美国和中国的CESE研究人员之间的更多合作将有利于CESE研究和教育的更快推进，并造福于两国的学术界。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强劲增长的潜力。研讨会还将把更多不同的团队聚集在一起，研究跨国界的关键研究问题。最后，美国与中国合作的增加将成为学者分享教育工具和经验的有效渠道，同时将研究成果纳入当地课程。

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.
