This proposal seeks to further a network of sociotechnical researchers in academia and industry capable of developing innovative applications that leverage next-generation gigabit networking infrastructure. This will foster new multidisciplinary partnerships between the social and computing sciences that will challenge established researchers and develop a new generation of students capable and confident in working in this area. The complex domains addressed by these applications, for example city-wide, media-rich socialinformation spaces for homeless citizens, will necessitate fundamental advances in network science. The emergent co-evolutionary properties will also likely drive research in human-centered computing. The urban government partnerships enable a scale of deployment typically impractical for academic research labs. This will enable at-scale experimentation with a critical mass of users in authentic usage environments, which is essential for advancing our understanding of social computing.The project proposes a culminating two-day proto-proposal development workshop. The projects that emerge from this workshop will help envision a new future in which high-bandwidth connectivity coupled with a reengineered Internet enables new forms of social interaction and digital citizenship.

该提案旨在进一步发展学术界和工业界的社会技术研究人员网络，使其能够开发利用下一代千兆位网络基础设施的创新应用程序。这将促进社会科学和计算科学之间新的多学科伙伴关系，这将挑战现有的研究人员，并培养有能力并有信心在该领域工作的新一代学生。这些应用程序解决的复杂领域，例如无家可归公民的全市范围、媒体丰富的社交信息空间，将需要网络科学的根本进步。新兴的共同进化特性也可能推动以人为中心的计算研究。城市政府的合作伙伴关系实现了学术研究实验室通常不切实际的部署规模。这将使在真实使用环境中对大量用户进行大规模实验成为可能，这对于增进我们对社交计算的理解至关重要。该项目提出了为期两天的最终提案开发研讨会。 本次研讨会上出现的项目将有助于构想一个新的未来，其中高带宽连接与重新设计的互联网相结合，可实现新形式的社会互动和数字公民。
