Collaborative Projects: EAGER: A virtual eXchange to support networks of creativity and innovation amongst Science, Engineering, Arts and Design (XSEAD)Intellectual MeritOne of the greatest challenges facing the United States in research and education is how to fundamentally encourage innovation across all sectors and spawn new solutions to address global challenges. Increasing research evidence and industrial innovations (i.e. mobile computing, social media) confirm that broad interdisciplinary collaborations that include both science and art fields have great potential for spawning creativity and innovation in computer science, engineering and the sciences. An emerging hybrid community of scientists, engineers, artists and designers is producing innovative and entrepreneurial research that advances new knowledge and proposes holistic solutions to societal challenges including health, education and environmental change. Yet, this burgeoning interdisciplinary community continues to face problems in its efforts to self-organize among constraints imposed by academic systems and historical biases; it continues to seek a dynamic and synergizing research and outreach exchange.Building upon lessons-learned, a new Virtual eXchange to support networks of creativity and innovation amongst Science, Engineering, Art and Design (XSEAD) will be developed. The XSEAD project will address the following urgent needs of the interdisciplinary science-art community: establish a cohesive view of the field and provide a mechanism to attract entrepreneurs and industry; create a venue for multimodal documentation of research outcomes; provide extensive databases of prior and current research; allow rapid dissemination of research outcomes; facilitate forming of collaborations and specialized sub-communities; document and help evolve science-art curricula efforts and evaluation approaches; provide context and support mechanisms for science-arts careers; establish evidence of the societal impact of interdisciplinary science-art integration. The software engineering development components of XSEAD will contribute further knowledge in three technical areas: Content organization (improve the effectiveness of algorithms for dynamic, usage based, organization of large multimedia databases); Recommendation algorithms (promote the use of multi-relational structures for providing effective recommendations); Community dynamics (develop novel algorithms to extract structures that encode meaningful interactions in online social networks).Broader ImpactXSEAD will expose general non-expert audiences to the evolution and potential of collaborative research across science and arts. It will attract the interest of young people searching for careers that combine the rigor of science and engineering with the creativity and reflection of arts and design. It will serve teachers and informal learning communities seeking exemplars for curricular development, active practitioners looking for further institutional opportunities to present and support their ongoing work, academics developing related interdisciplinary efforts and commercial companies seeking cross-trained expertise. XSEAD will enable rapid research exchange and in-depth peer-reviewed scholarship between the worlds of science and art and provide a unique and deeply engaging inroad to a vast and creative repository. XSEAD will help promote new paradigms for developing human centric solutions to complex societal problems (i.e. cost effective health and wellness, globalization and conflict, adaptive K-12 learning, electronic communication and security). These paradigms will combine knowledge across broad and diverse areas of human knowledge.

协作项目：渴望：支持科学，工程，艺术与设计（XSead）知识分子的虚拟交流，即研究和教育领域面临的最大挑战的知识分子，是如何基础地鼓励所有领域的创新，并产生新的解决方案，以应对全球挑战的新解决方案。越来越多的研究证据和工业创新（即移动计算，社交媒体）证实，包括科学和艺术领域在内的广泛的跨学科合作具有在计算机科学，工程和科学领域产生创造力和创新的巨大潜力。一个新兴的科学家，工程师，艺术家和设计师的混合社区正在生产创新和企业家研究，该研究促进新知识，并提出了针对健康，教育和环境变革在内的社会挑战的整体解决方案。然而，这个新兴的跨学科社区继续遇到问题，以在学术系统和历史偏见施加的约束之间进行自我组织。它将继续寻求动态和协同的研究和宣传交流。建立课程学习，这是一种新的虚拟交流，以支持科学，工程，艺术和设计（XSead）之间的创造力和创新网络（XSEAD）。 Xsead项目将满足跨学科科学 - 艺术社区的以下紧急需求：建立对该领域的凝聚力观点，并提供一种吸引企业家和行业的机制；创建一个用于研究结果的多模式文档的场所；提供先验和当前研究的广泛数据库；允许快速传播研究结果；促进建立合作和专业的子社区；记录并帮助发展科学课程的工作和评估方法；为科学艺术职业提供背景和支持机制；建立跨学科科学融合的社会影响的证据。 Xsead的软件工程开发组件将在三个技术领域中贡献进一步的知识：内容组织（提高算法基于动态，用法，大型多媒体数据库的组织的有效性）；建议算法（促进使用多关系结构来提供有效建议）；社区动态（开发新的算法来提取在在线社交网络中编码有意义的交互的结构）。BoaderImpactxsead将使一般的非专家受众群体对跨科学和艺术的协作研究的发展和潜力。这将吸引年轻人寻找将科学和工程的严谨性与艺术和设计的创造力和反思相结合的职业的兴趣。它将为寻求课程发展的典范的教师和非正式学习社区提供服务，积极的从业者寻求进一步的机构机会来展示和支持其正在进行的工作，发展相关的跨学科工作和寻求交叉培训专业知识的商业公司。 Xsead将在科学和艺术世界之间实现快速的研究交流和深入的同行评审奖学金，并为广阔而创造性的存储库提供独特而深入的参与度。 Xsead将有助于促进新的范式，以开发以人类为中心的解决方案来解决复杂的社会问题（即成本有效的健康和健康，全球化和冲突，自适应K-12学习，电子通信和安全性）。这些范式将结合跨人类知识领域的知识。
