Information and decision systems are an essential part of many present-day systems in a vast array of domains, from engineering and operations to the social sciences and the life sciences. For example, communications and information technology is ever-present in many daily activities, while autonomous systems are also becoming ubiquitous. This two-day workshop will lay out the foundations for future research in the underlying information and decision sciences and will help identify critical open problems to be addressed by the community. Many of the spectacular recent advances in data science and machine intelligence are all about systems that process information, and then make inferences and decisions. Research in information and decision sciences provides much of the methodological core that underlies such developments, illustrating that despite tremendous changes in the technological landscape, many of the fundamental ideas and tools are timeless. This workshop will examine the past, present, and future of the field of Information and Decision Sciences, with focus on the following themes: Systems, Optimization, and Control; Communications, Information Theory, and Networks; Data, Inference, and Machine Learning; and Transitions from theory into practice or between fields. This intellectually significant event will act as a catalyst for opening new research directions along these themes.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.

信息和决策系统是当今许多领域系统的重要组成部分，从工程和运营到社会科学和生命科学。例如，通信和信息技术在许多日常活动中无处不在，而自主系统也变得无处不在。这个为期两天的研讨会将为潜在的信息和决策科学的未来研究奠定基础，并将帮助确定社区需要解决的关键开放问题。数据科学和机器智能领域最近取得的许多惊人进展都与处理信息、然后做出推断和决策的系统有关。信息和决策科学的研究为这些发展提供了许多方法论核心，说明尽管技术领域发生了巨大变化，但许多基本思想和工具是永恒的。本次研讨会将探讨信息与决策科学领域的过去、现在和未来，重点关注以下主题：系统、优化和控制；通信、信息理论和网络；数据、推理和机器学习；从理论到实践或领域之间的过渡。这一学术意义重大的事件将成为沿着这些主题开辟新的研究方向的催化剂。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
