This award supports a workshop marking the inaugural year of MIT's Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS) that aims to advance education and research at the intersection of engineering systems with statistics, information and decision systems with social and behavioral sciences. Our lives are shaped by complex, interconnected systems that generate increasingly vast amounts of data -a proliferation that is redefining various domains of engineering. IDSS is at the forefront of this development and this workshop will showcase the recent advances in studying such systems and pave the way for the future. This award will support and fund the sessions focused on smart services, smart cities, smart grid, and graduate education. Bringing together researchers from all five MIT schools as well as distinguished speakers from across the nation, including engineers in various disciplines, together with statisticians and social and behavioral scientists, the workshop will show how rigorous analytical methods can be used to better model, understand, and improve society's most complex systems. The research presented in the workshop takes a holistic, data-driven approach to solving critical societal problems across a range of application domains. Within the broad scope of this research, this NSF-funded workshop will help showcase research across several key areas: smart services and operations in energy systems (the smart grid), urbanization and smart cities, and generally smart services. The research highlighted in the workshop paves the way for new interdisciplinary research in all of these areas. The workshop will showcase the state of the art of research in these domains through a series of panel discussions led by top thinkers in their fields. These discussions will foster dialogue about new directions for research and create opportunities for collaboration, while strengthening IDSS?s multidisciplinary research community. The 2-day workshop will be open to the public with free registration and will involve researchers from government, industry, and academia, as well as graduate students in the relevant areas. The Launch Event will also feature a student session that explores IDSS's new programs in Social and Engineering Systems and also in Statistics, and what impact these new programs might have on the future of interdisciplinary, data-driven research for solving society's biggest challenges. There will also be a student Q&A session in which the students get to ask questions and exchange ideas with the distinguished panelists.As part of its research efforts, IDSS is not only advancing new technologies and new smart services in energy, health, transportation and urban science,, but it is also looking at the powerful implications of these innovations for individuals, larger systems, and society as a whole. There will be a report issued that will present the major findings of the event.

该奖项支持麻省理工学院数据、系统和社会研究所（IDSS）成立一年的研讨会，旨在推进工程系统与统计、信息和决策系统与社会和行为科学交叉的教育和研究。我们的生活是由复杂的、相互关联的系统所塑造的，这些系统产生了越来越多的数据——这种激增正在重新定义各种工程领域。IDSS处于这一发展的前沿，本次讲习班将展示研究这类系统的最新进展，并为未来铺平道路。该奖项将支持和资助以智能服务、智能城市、智能电网和研究生教育为重点的会议。来自麻省理工学院所有五所学院的研究人员以及来自全国各地的杰出演讲者，包括不同学科的工程师，统计学家，社会和行为科学家，研讨会将展示如何使用严格的分析方法来更好地建模，理解和改善社会最复杂的系统。研讨会上提出的研究采用了一种整体的、数据驱动的方法来解决一系列应用领域的关键社会问题。在这项研究的广泛范围内，这个由nsf资助的研讨会将有助于展示几个关键领域的研究：能源系统（智能电网）中的智能服务和运营，城市化和智能城市，以及一般的智能服务。研讨会强调的研究为所有这些领域的新的跨学科研究铺平了道路。研讨会将通过由各自领域的顶尖思想家领导的一系列小组讨论，展示这些领域的研究现状。这些讨论将促进关于研究新方向的对话，并创造合作机会，同时加强IDSS？美国多学科研究界。为期两天的研讨会将向公众开放，免费注册，将有来自政府、行业和学术界的研究人员以及相关领域的研究生参加。启动活动还将以学生会议为特色，探讨IDSS在社会和工程系统以及统计学方面的新项目，以及这些新项目对解决社会最大挑战的跨学科、数据驱动研究的未来可能产生的影响。还将有一个学生问答环节，学生可以在其中提问并与杰出的小组成员交换意见。作为其研究工作的一部分，IDSS不仅在能源、卫生、交通和城市科学方面推进新技术和新的智能服务，而且还在研究这些创新对个人、更大的系统和整个社会的强大影响。将发表一份报告，介绍这次活动的主要发现。
