A Group Travel Proposal for the NSF/India CDS&E Workshop

该项目旨在支持美国科学家参加将于2011年12月21日至22日在印度班加罗尔举行的NSF/印度计算和数据支持科学与工程（CDS&amp；E）研讨会。参与者包括来自不同机构和不同学科的学生和初级教师。这些研究人员的基层参与将有助于确定领域，促进未来的合作，发挥优势，并探索联合工作的机制。美国团队将积极参加研讨会圆桌会议，介绍他们正在进行的研究，并为该领域的未来发展指明道路。最后的报告将阐明讲习班的实质和合作小组的优势。计算机在科学和社会的各行各业大量扩散的一个后果是产生了大量的多维数据。从如此大的数据集中提取可操作信息的挑战催生了计算和数据驱动科学与工程（CDS&amp；E）领域的概念。为了使CDS&amp；E成为一门可行的科学学科，设想了一种多学科和多国的方法。考虑到上述情况，CDS&amp；E的探索性研讨会旨在定义该领域，解决其带来的主要问题，促进新的思维范式和实践，并在总体上促进研究人员在这一新兴研究领域的合作。美国科学家的参与将有助于CDS&amp；E作为一门新的学术学科的发展，并将作为为新的虚拟学院开发架构的原型。会议网站：http://nsfcac.rutgers.edu/cdse/us-india-workshop/

This project is to support US-based scientists to attend the NSF/India Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (CDS&E) Workshop to be held in Bangalore, India, December 21-22, 2011. The participants include students and junior faculty from a cross-section of institutions and a cross-section of disciplines. The ground-floor participation of these investigators will help define the field, foster future collaborations, leverage strengths, and explore mechanisms for joint work. The US team will actively attend the workshop roundtables, describe their ongoing research, and point the way for future developments in the field. A final report articulating the essence of the workshop and the strengths of the collaborating teams will be made. A consequence of the massive proliferation of computers in all walks of life, scientific and social, has been the generation of large volumes of multi-dimensional data. The challenge of extracting actionable information from such large datasets has spawned the notion of the field Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (CDS&E). For CDS&E to emerge as a viable scientific discipline, a multi-disciplinary and multi-national approach is envisioned. With the above in mind, this exploratory workshop in CDS&E aims to define the field, to address the major problems that it poses, to catalyze new thinking paradigms and practices, and in general to nurture collaborations among researchers in this nascent research area. The participation of the US-based scientists in the workshop will contribute to the development of CDS&E as a new academic discipline and will serve as a prototype for developing architectures for new Virtual Institutes.
