Collaborative Projects: EAGER: A virtual eXchange to support networks of creativity and innovation amongst Science, Engineering, Arts and Design (XSEAD)Intellectual MeritOne of the greatest challenges facing the United States in research and education is how to fundamentally encourage innovation across all sectors and spawn new solutions to address global challenges. Increasing research evidence and industrial innovations (i.e. mobile computing, social media) confirm that broad interdisciplinary collaborations that include both science and art fields have great potential for spawning creativity and innovation in computer science, engineering and the sciences. An emerging hybrid community of scientists, engineers, artists and designers is producing innovative and entrepreneurial research that advances new knowledge and proposes holistic solutions to societal challenges including health, education and environmental change. Yet, this burgeoning interdisciplinary community continues to face problems in its efforts to self-organize among constraints imposed by academic systems and historical biases; it continues to seek a dynamic and synergizing research and outreach exchange.Building upon lessons-learned, a new Virtual eXchange to support networks of creativity and innovation amongst Science, Engineering, Art and Design (XSEAD) will be developed. The XSEAD project will address the following urgent needs of the interdisciplinary science-art community: establish a cohesive view of the field and provide a mechanism to attract entrepreneurs and industry; create a venue for multimodal documentation of research outcomes; provide extensive databases of prior and current research; allow rapid dissemination of research outcomes; facilitate forming of collaborations and specialized sub-communities; document and help evolve science-art curricula efforts and evaluation approaches; provide context and support mechanisms for science-arts careers; establish evidence of the societal impact of interdisciplinary science-art integration. The software engineering development components of XSEAD will contribute further knowledge in three technical areas: Content organization (improve the effectiveness of algorithms for dynamic, usage based, organization of large multimedia databases); Recommendation algorithms (promote the use of multi-relational structures for providing effective recommendations); Community dynamics (develop novel algorithms to extract structures that encode meaningful interactions in online social networks).Broader ImpactXSEAD will expose general non-expert audiences to the evolution and potential of collaborative research across science and arts. It will attract the interest of young people searching for careers that combine the rigor of science and engineering with the creativity and reflection of arts and design. It will serve teachers and informal learning communities seeking exemplars for curricular development, active practitioners looking for further institutional opportunities to present and support their ongoing work, academics developing related interdisciplinary efforts and commercial companies seeking cross-trained expertise. XSEAD will enable rapid research exchange and in-depth peer-reviewed scholarship between the worlds of science and art and provide a unique and deeply engaging inroad to a vast and creative repository. XSEAD will help promote new paradigms for developing human centric solutions to complex societal problems (i.e. cost effective health and wellness, globalization and conflict, adaptive K-12 learning, electronic communication and security). These paradigms will combine knowledge across broad and diverse areas of human knowledge.

合作项目：EAGER：支持科学、工程、艺术和设计（XSEAD）知识精英之间的创造力和创新网络的虚拟交流。美国在研究和教育方面面临的最大挑战之一是如何从根本上鼓励所有领域的创新，并产生应对全球挑战的新解决方案。越来越多的研究证据和工业创新（即移动计算，社交媒体）证实，包括科学和艺术领域在内的广泛跨学科合作在计算机科学，工程和科学领域具有巨大的创造力和创新潜力。一个由科学家、工程师、艺术家和设计师组成的新兴混合社区正在进行创新和创业研究，推动新知识的发展，并为包括健康、教育和环境变化在内的社会挑战提出整体解决方案。然而，在学术体系和历史偏见的约束下，这个新兴的跨学科社区在努力自我组织方面继续面临问题；它继续寻求动态和协同的研究和外展交流。在吸取经验教训的基础上，将建立一个新的虚拟交流平台，以支持科学、工程、艺术和设计（XSEAD）之间的创意和创新网络。XSEAD项目将解决跨学科科学-艺术界的以下迫切需要：建立该领域的凝聚力，并提供吸引企业家和工业界的机制；创建一个多模式记录研究成果的场所；提供以前和当前研究的广泛数据库；允许快速传播研究成果；促进形成合作和专门的分社区；记录和帮助发展科学-艺术课程的努力和评估方法；为科学艺术职业提供背景和支持机制；建立跨学科科学-艺术整合的社会影响的证据。XSEAD的软件工程开发组件将在三个技术领域提供进一步的知识：内容组织（提高动态、基于使用的大型多媒体数据库组织的算法的有效性）；推荐算法（促进使用多关系结构提供有效的推荐）；社区动态（开发新的算法来提取在线社交网络中编码有意义的互动的结构）。更广泛的影响xsead将使普通非专业观众了解科学和艺术领域合作研究的发展和潜力。它将吸引那些寻求将科学和工程的严谨与艺术和设计的创造力和反思相结合的职业的年轻人的兴趣。它将为教师和非正式学习社区寻找课程发展的范例，积极的实践者寻找进一步的机构机会来展示和支持他们正在进行的工作，学者发展相关的跨学科努力，商业公司寻求交叉培训的专业知识。XSEAD将使科学和艺术世界之间的快速研究交流和深入的同行评审奖学金成为可能，并提供一个独特而深入的途径，进入一个巨大而富有创造力的知识库。XSEAD将有助于促进制定以人为本解决复杂社会问题的新范例（即具有成本效益的保健和保健、全球化和冲突、适应性K-12学习、电子通信和安全）。这些范例将结合人类知识的广泛和不同领域的知识。
