Workshop on Modeling Sustainable, Resilient, and Robust Infrastructure Systems

摘要为了支持NSF/ENG的新兴前沿研究创新（EFRI）弹性和可持续性可持续性结构（RESIN）项目组合，所有八个RESIN项目团队以及来自全国各地的其他受邀者将于2011年11月17-18日在伊利诺伊州香槟尚潘召开会议，以便（i）最终确定关键基础设施系统的可持续性、弹性和鲁棒性（SRR）的总体指标，以及（ii）促进在跨各种应用上下文的基础设施系统建模中实现这些综合度量。另一个主要目标是制定战略，以克服树脂项目中常见的关键概念和计算障碍。 次要目标是协调树脂教育和推广活动，并讨论未来的机会和前进的道路树脂社区。 在研讨会上，每个树脂团队将做演讲，总结他们迄今为止的建模工作。 应邀专家将提出新的概念和更广泛的定义，使讨论更有广度和深度。 将就具体专题举行分组会议（即，SRR的度量、建模和工程影响，以及教育、推广和未来的研究机会）。 本次研讨会通过推进新的工程标准和指导方针，以实现基础设施系统的可持续性，弹性和鲁棒性，旨在对跨多个工程学科的基础设施系统建模产生重大影响。 将记录研讨会材料（例如，通过录像、录音），并可在会议网站上永久下载。可交付成果包括：（i）向NSF提交的研讨会报告，包括分组会议的摘要;（ii）SRR跨学科定义的最终摘要文件;以及（iii）技术报告和/或汇编的书籍章节，总结了SRR概念/定义在各种基础设施环境中的定量应用。

ABSTRACTIn support of NSF/ENG's Emerging Frontiers in Research Innovation (EFRI) Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructures (RESIN) portfolio of projects, all eight RESIN project teams as well as other invitees from across the nation will convene at Champaign, Illinois on November 17-18, 2011 in order to (i) finalize overarching metrics for sustainability, resilience, and robustness (SRR) of critical infrastructure systems, and (ii) promote implementation of these synthesized metrics in infrastructure system modeling across various application contexts. Another principal objective is to strategize on means to overcome critical conceptual and computational barriers that are common across RESIN projects. Secondary objectives are to coordinate RESIN educational and outreach activities, and to discuss future opportunities and a path forward for the RESIN community. At the workshop, each RESIN team will make presentations summarizing their modeling efforts to date. New concepts and broader definitions will be provided by invited experts to provide additional breadth and depth to the discussion. Breakout sessions will be held on specific topics (i.e., metrics, modeling, and engineering implications of SRR, and education, outreach and future research opportunities). This workshop, via the advancement of new engineering standards and guidelines for achieving sustainability, resilience and robustness in infrastructure systems, is targeted to have a significant impact on infrastructure system modeling across multiple engineering disciplines. The workshop materials will be documented (e.g., via videotaping, voice recording) and will be available for downloading permanently at the conference website. The deliverables include (i) a workshop report to NSF including a summary of breakout sessions, (ii) a finalized summary paper of interdisciplinary definitions of SRR, and (iii) a technical report and/or compiled book chapters that summarize the quantitative applications of SRR concepts/definitions in various infrastructure contexts.
