The very success of the industry sectors that produce information technology (IT) and the pervasivenessof IT products and services in daily life can obscure the interacting roles that industry, government, andacademia play in conducting IT research and translating results into new products, services, andindustries. This project will update earlier illustrations of such phenomena such as how much industrybuilds on government-funded university research, the long incubation periods sometimes needed forresearch to be translated into major industry activities, the steady work and funding required to get frominitial exploration to large-scale commercial deployment, the interdependencies between researchadvances in different subfields, and the complex nature of the IT research "ecosystem." This project willalso build on earlier work by adding updated examples of research investments and impacts.A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee will update the "tire tracks"figure published in CSTB's 2012 report Continuing Innovation in Information Technology. Drawing on aliterature review, input from experts, and suggestions solicited from the relevant communities, it willidentify emerging research areas and significant new industries, products, and firms. Using a graphicalapproach similar to that used in 2012, it will depict the interconnections across research areas and withthe creation and evolution of IT industry sectors. It will illustrate the roles of industry, academia, andgovernment in computing innovation and the development of IT products, services, and industries andconsider if and how these roles may have evolved since the last report. In addition to presentingestablished computing research areas and industry sectors, it will also consider emerging candidates inboth categories. A National Academies report will be prepared containing the figure together with areview of lessons learned about the structure and nature of information technology research and itsimpacts. Two derivative products will be prepared: (1) a brochure containing the figure and a summary ofthe report's analysis and (2) a Web interactive infographic that links the figure to more detail on selectedtopics and connections drawn from earlier Academies work and other sources.

生产信息技术（IT）的行业部门的成功，以及IT产品和服务在日常生活中的普及，可能会掩盖行业、政府和学术界在进行IT研究并将结果转化为新产品、服务和行业方面所扮演的相互作用。该项目将更新早期对诸如政府资助的大学研究在多大程度上建立工业基础、研究转化为主要工业活动有时需要很长的孵化期、从初步探索到大规模商业部署所需的稳定工作和资金、不同子领域研究进展之间的相互依赖关系以及IT研究“生态系统”的复杂性等现象的说明。该项目还将以早期工作为基础，增加最新的研究投资和影响实例。美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院的一个委员会将更新CSTB发布的2012年信息技术持续创新报告中的“轮胎轨迹”数据。根据文献综述、专家意见和相关社区的建议，它将确定新兴研究领域和重要的新行业、产品和公司。使用与2012年类似的图形方法，它将描述研究领域之间的相互联系以及it产业部门的创建和演变。它将说明工业、学术界和政府在计算创新和It产品、服务和行业发展中的角色，并考虑这些角色自上一份报告以来是否以及如何演变。除了展示已建立的计算研究领域和行业部门外，它还将考虑这两个类别中的新兴候选人。一份国家科学院的报告将包含这一数字，以及对信息技术研究的结构和性质及其影响的经验教训的回顾。将准备两种衍生产品：(1)包含该图表和报告分析摘要的小册子；(2)将该图表与从早期科学院工作和其他来源获得的选定主题和联系的更多细节链接起来的网络交互式信息图表。
