1762212 (Dong). The workshop on "Urban Infrastructures: Approaches for the Modeling and Study of Interdependent Systems and Processes," to be held in New York City in November 2017, will convene participants from the United States and Europe, all key actors in the study of urban interconnected critical infrastructure (ICI) systems and processes, including food, energy, and water (FEW) distribution systems and processes. The overarching goal of the workshop is to stimulate research on the optimization of interrelated urban infrastructure systems and processes for the resilient and sustainable provision of FEW. The workshop will also identify technical, socio-economic and policy obstacles for this optimization. Specific objectives are to: 1) build a research agenda that supports active engagement and joint approaches to resilient urban interdependent critical infrastructure systems and processes; 2) explore solutions for innovative urban infrastructure synergies for sustainable, green and livable cities, and the optimal provision of goods and services and 3) form a global research and education community, with links to local stakeholders, and share actionable agendas for change. The workshop's programming team is led by New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) in collaboration with City College of New York at the City University of New York, as well as University of Applied Sciences at the Hochschule fur Technik (HFT) in Stuttgart, Germany and the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT). Team members have started to collaborate on the identification of a research agenda for the study of urban systems, related data and modeling frameworks, and for improved understanding and sustainable development of evolving urban food, energy, and water systems. NYIT will be leading the effort to engage additional academic, government, and private entities in planning and participating in the workshop, including representatives from Con Edison, NYC Dept. of Environmental Protection, Mayor's Office of Sustainability, the U.S. EPA, the USDA, and other stakeholders. The workshop os targeted to enhance scientific cooperation between scholars and educators in the United States, Europe, as well as industry and government agency representatives, urban planners and policymakers. The workshop's white paper, defining scientific, engineering and information systems and data challenges for optimal urban infrastructural systems and processes, will be widely disseminated, thus broadening the impact of workshop findings.

1762212（董）。2017年11月在纽约市举行的“城市互联结构：相互依赖的系统和过程的建模和研究方法”研讨会将召集来自美国和欧洲的参与者，他们都是城市互联关键基础设施（ICI）系统和过程研究的关键参与者，包括食品，能源和水（FEW）分配系统和过程。该研讨会的总体目标是促进研究优化相互关联的城市基础设施系统和流程，以提供具有复原力和可持续性的少量水。研讨会还将确定这种优化的技术、社会经济和政策障碍。具体目标是：1）建立一个研究议程，支持积极参与和联合方法，以适应城市相互依存的关键基础设施系统和流程; 2）探索创新城市基础设施协同增效的解决方案，以实现可持续、绿色和宜居城市，并优化商品和服务的提供; 3）形成一个全球研究和教育社区，与当地利益攸关方建立联系，并分享可采取行动的变革议程。讲习班的方案编制小组由纽约理工学院领导，并与纽约城市大学的纽约城市学院、德国斯图加特技术学院应用科学大学和奥地利理工学院合作。团队成员已开始合作确定研究议程，以研究城市系统、相关数据和建模框架，并提高对不断变化的城市粮食、能源和水系统的理解和可持续发展。NYIT将领导更多的学术、政府和私人实体参与规划和参与研讨会，包括来自纽约市爱迪生公司的代表。环境保护局、市长可持续发展办公室、美国环保署、美国农业部和其他利益相关者。研讨会旨在加强美国、欧洲学者和教育工作者以及工业和政府机构代表、城市规划者和决策者之间的科学合作。讲习班的白色文件界定了科学、工程和信息系统以及优化城市基础设施系统和进程的数据挑战，将广泛传播，从而扩大讲习班结论的影响。
