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院校和不同学科的学生和初级教员。这些调查人员的基层参与将有助于定义领域、促进未来的合作、利用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方向。最后将发表一份报告，阐述研讨会的实质和合作团队的优势。计算机在各行各业、科学和社会中的大规模扩散的一个结果是产生了大量的多维数据。从如此庞大的数据集中提取可操作信息的挑战催生了领域计算与数据支持科学与工程(CDS&amp；E)的概念。为了让CDS&And；E成为一门可行的科学学科，人们设想了一种多学科和多国家的方法。有鉴于此，CDS&Amp；E的这一探索性研讨会旨在定义这一领域，解决它带来的主要问题，催化新的思维范式和实践，并总体上促进这一新兴研究领域的研究人员之间的合作。美国科学家参加研讨会将有助于将CDS&amp；E发展成为一门新的学术学科，并将作为开发新虚拟研究所架构的原型。会议网址：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.
