Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Spatiotemporal Thinking and Computing 1160979 George Mason University; Chaowei Yang 1160990 Harvard University; Peter Bol 1160959 University of California-Santa Barbara; Keith Clarke George Mason University (GMU), Harvard University (HU), and the University of CaliforniaSanta Barbara (UCSB) will conduct a planning meeting with industry, university, government agencies, and associations to a) determine the feasibility and viability of developing a center for spatiotemporal thinking and computing, and b) plan the research agenda for the proposed center. The proposal seeks to establish an I/UCRC for spatiotemporal thinking and computing as a collaboration platform among universities, industry, government agencies, and other organizations to enable research and education to 1) improve the US geospatial research infrastructure base; 2) enhance the intellectual capacity within the future engineering and science workforce; and 3) establish the US leadership in spatiotemporal thinking and computing. The proposed center will be established based upon the previous successes at each of the three sites including: a) the Center for Intelligent Spatial Computing (CISC) at GMU for spatiotemporal computing/software development; b) the Center for Spatial Studies (CSS) at UCSB for spatial thinking and analyses; and c) the Center for Geographic Analysis (CGA) at Harvard for spatiotemporal applications. The Planning Meeting will solicit input from potential Center members and develop projects and priorities for research. There are existing programs at the three campuses with potential overlap, but the mission of the new Center would be to integrate these technologies into a comprehensive spatiotemporal theory and applications. Research results and success stories will be disseminated through publications in relevant spatiotemporal venues as well as among the center member sites for adoption and outreach. The PIs plan to include leading relevant professional organizations to help broadcast the research results and recruit new members through their organizational channels. The PIs also intend to collaborate with complementary I/UCRCs to broaden the impact of the proposed center's research results.

规划资助项目：I/UCRC时空思维与计算研究基金1160979；杨朝伟1160990哈佛大学；加州大学圣巴巴拉分校；乔治梅森大学（GMU）、哈佛大学（HU）和加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（UCSB）将与工业界、大学、政府机构和协会举行规划会议，以a)确定开发时空思维和计算中心的可行性和可行性，b)计划拟议中心的研究议程。该提案旨在建立一个用于时空思维和计算的I/UCRC，作为大学、工业、政府机构和其他组织之间的协作平台，使研究和教育能够1)改善美国地理空间研究基础设施基础；2)提高未来工程和科学劳动力的智力能力；3)确立美国在时空思维和计算领域的领导地位。拟议的中心将在三个地点的成功基础上建立，包括：a) GMU的智能空间计算中心（CISC），用于时空计算/软件开发；b) UCSB空间研究中心（CSS），致力于空间思维与分析；c)哈佛大学地理分析中心（CGA）的时空应用研究。规划会议将征求潜在中心成员的意见，并制定研究项目和优先事项。三个校区现有的项目有可能重叠，但新中心的任务是将这些技术整合到一个全面的时空理论和应用中。研究成果和成功案例将通过相关时空场所以及中心成员网站的出版物传播，以供采用和推广。ppi计划将主要的相关专业组织纳入其中，帮助传播研究成果，并通过组织渠道招募新成员。pi还打算与互补的I/ ucrc合作，以扩大拟议中心研究成果的影响。
