I/UCRC: Collaborative Research: Center for Spatiotemporal Thinking Computing and Applications

项目主任建议1338925乔治梅森大学；杨超伟1338914哈佛大学；彼得·波尔1338902加州大学圣巴巴拉分校；基思·克拉克乔治梅森大学(GMU)作为牵头机构，哈佛大学(HU)和加州大学圣巴巴拉分校(UCSB)提议建立一个时空思维、计算和应用中心。该提案旨在建立一个时空思维、计算和应用的I/UCRC，作为产业、大学、政府机构和其他组织之间的合作平台，以促进这一知识领域的发展。拟建的中心将根据以前在以下三个地点取得的成功建立：a)位于格拉斯哥大学的智能空间计算中心，用于时空计算/软件开发；b)位于加州大学伯克利分校的空间研究中心，用于空间思维和分析；c)位于哈佛大学的地理分析中心，用于时空应用。新中心的任务将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的出版物以及中心成员场所的出版物进行传播，以供采用和推广。私人投资机构计划利用他们与主要组织建立的关系来广播研究结果，并通过组织渠道招募新成员。PIS计划在三个地点现有的学位课程中开发新的课程，并继续他们的多样性传统，将少数族裔和其他代表性不足的群体纳入中心活动

PROGRAM DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION 1338925 George Mason University; Chaowei Yang 1338914 Harvard University; Peter Bol 1338902 University of California-Santa Barbara; Keith Clarke George Mason University (GMU) as the lead institution, Harvard University (HU), and the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) are proposing to establish a center for spatiotemporal thinking, computing and applications. The proposal seeks to establish an I/UCRC for spatiotemporal thinking, computing and applications as a collaborative platform among industry, university, government agencies, and other organizations to advance this domain of knowledge. 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 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 use their established relationship with leading organizations to broadcast the research results and recruit new members through the organization channels. The PIs plan to develop new curriculum within existing degree programs at the three sites, and to continue their diversity traditions to include minorities and other underrepresented groups in center activities
