Smart and Connected Communities - Visioning Workshop

网络信息系统、传感和通信设备、数据源、决策和物理基础设施有效整合方面的进展正在改变社会，使城市和社区能够克服物理、社会、行为、经济和基础设施方面的深刻连锁挑战。这些新颖的社会技术方法使人们更加了解如何智能有效地设计、适应和管理智能和互联社区（S&amp；CC）。成功的S&amp；CC解决方案需要展示利益相关者体验的显著改善（可量化的证据）——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。标准与控制研究必须通过长期研究议程寻求变革性的发现，其中也包括沿途的创新匝道。为了推进这一领域的研究，我们正在召开一个以智能和互联社区为重点的社区愿景研讨会。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就未来智能互联社区的研究差距、实际需求和优先事项进行详细讨论。最终目标是创建一个研究议程，以实现标准和标准中心的愿景。研讨会报告将包括主要的研究和实施挑战、有希望的方法和潜在的试点解决方案。该报告将提供给所有有关各方，不论其是否参与。研讨会主题涵盖了当今社区所面临的各种挑战，包括大小城市、大都市地区和农村地区。一个关键的重点是社会和技术观点的整合，以制定长期的研究议程，能够解决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.
