NSF PI Meeting - Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC)

智能互联社区(S和CC)的愿景是通过智能技术将居民彼此连接起来，并将他们的环境连接起来，从而改善不同社区的福祉和繁荣。实现这一愿景将需要解决复杂且相互关联的物理、社会、行为、经济和基础设施挑战，只有通过与社区利益相关者的密切接触来了解社区需求并制定可行的解决方案，才能实现这一目标。本提案是为S及CC项目PI第一次会议而提出的。会议将允许来自国家科学基金会S CC项目的首席研究员(PI)和跨越多个技术和社会学科的研究生与NSF项目主任、社区合作伙伴和利益相关者以及其他联邦机构的代表进行互动，以传播项目目标和成果，并促进新的和新兴的合作。PI会议的计划会议将讨论S CC的横向主题，包括改善服务不足的社区的结果，以及在开发和原型阶段之后支持S CC的技术。这些讨论将通过NSF PIs和参与的社区合作伙伴的网络活动得到加强。此外，S与合作伙伴国际会议将与智慧城市连接年会一起举行，该会议聚集了致力于解决S与合作伙伴问题并有兴趣与包括学术研究人员在内的其他人建立合作伙伴关系的城市和市政领导人。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC) vision is to improve the well-being and prosperity of diverse communities by connecting residents to each other and their environments through smart technologies. Achieving this vision will require solving complex and interlocking physical, social, behavioral, economic, and infrastructure challenges, which will only be possible through close engagement with community stakeholders to understand the community needs and develop actionable solutions. This proposal is for the first S&CC Program PI meeting. The meeting will allow Principal Investigators (PIs) from NSF's S&CC Program and graduate students spanning multiple technological and social disciplines to interact with NSF Program Directors, community partners and stakeholders, and representatives from other Federal Agencies in order to disseminate project objectives and accomplishments and foster new and emerging collaborations.Planned sessions of the PI meeting will address cross-cutting themes of S&CC, including improving outcomes in under-served communities and sustaining S&CC technologies beyond the development and prototyping stages. These discussions will be enhanced through networking activities for NSF PIs and participating community partners. In addition, the S&CC PI meeting will be held in conjunction with the Smart Cities Connect annual meeting, which brings together city and municipality leaders who are working on S&CC problems and are interested in forming partnerships with others including academic researchers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
