Smart and Connected Communities - Visioning Workshop

在网络信息系统、传感和通信设备、数据源、决策制定和物理基础设施的有效集成方面取得的进展正在改变社会，使城市和社区能够克服深度连锁的物理、社会、行为、经济和基础设施挑战。这些新颖的社会技术方法使人们能够更好地理解如何智能有效地设计、调整和管理智能互联社区(S和CC)。成功的S和CC解决方案需要利益相关者体验的显著改善(可量化证据)--无论是在个人生活质量、社区和环境健康、社会福祉、教育成就，还是整体经济增长和稳定方面。S与CC的研究必须通过长期研究议程追求变革性发现，其中还包括沿途的创新。为了推进这一领域的研究，我们将召开一次社区愿景研讨会，重点关注智能和互联社区。研讨会的目的是让学术研究人员、行业合作伙伴和市政领导详细讨论研究差距、实际需求和优先事项，以支持未来的智能互联社区。最终目标是创建一个研究议程，以实现S与CC的愿景。研讨会报告将介绍主要的研究和实施挑战、前景看好的方法和潜在的试验性解决方案。该报告将向所有感兴趣的各方提供，无论他们是否参加。研讨会的主题涵盖了当今大小城市、大都市地区和农村地区社区面临的广泛挑战。一个关键的重点是整合社会和技术观点，以制定长期研究议程，以满足社会和经济上不同的社区的需要。

Advances in the effective integration of networked information systems, sensing and communication devices, data sources, decision making, and physical infrastructure are transforming society, allowing cities and communities to surmount deeply interlocking physical, social, behavioral, economic, and infrastructural challenges. These novel socio-technical approaches enable increased understanding of how to intelligently and effectively design, adapt, and manage Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC). Successful S&CC solutions demand demonstration of marked improvement (quantifiable evidence) of the stakeholder experience - whether in personal quality of life, community and environmental health, social well-being, educational achievement, or overall economic growth and stability. Research in S&CC must pursue transformative discoveries through a long-term research agenda that also includes innovation off-ramps along the way. In order to advance research in this area, we are convening a community visioning workshop focused on Smart and Connected Communities. The purpose of the workshop is to engage academic researchers, industry partners, and municipal leaders in detailed discussions on research gaps, practical needs, and priorities for enabling the smart and connected communities of the future. The ultimate goal is to create a research agenda to achieve the S&CC vision. A workshop report will capture major research and implementation challenges, promising approaches, and potential pilot solutions. The report will be made available to all interested parties regardless of their participation. Workshop topics cover a broad waterfront of challenges faced by communities today spanning large and small cities, metropolitan areas, and rural regions. A key emphasis is the integration of social and technical perspectives to develop long term research agenda that can address the needs of communities that are socially and economically heterogeneous.
