EAGER: Operations and Systems Engineering Extreme Events Research (OSEER)

这一探索性研究早期概念拨款（EAGER）将支持建立一个业务研究人员网络和一个科学计划，以解决灾害和灾害研究中的交叉方法挑战。在危险和灾害的情况下，决策面临的一个持久挑战是，需要在有时极不确定和危险的动态条件下提供说明性（决策）指导。要解决这些挑战，需要重新关注识别潜在的高影响力研究问题，这些问题超出了现有学科和跨学科方法的范围。在更广泛的政策和社会背景下，涉及大规模、有时持续的人机系统相互作用和与危险有关的现象的问题尤其如此。该项目将建立运营和系统工程极端事件研究（OSEEER）网络，旨在整合传统和非传统的专业知识来源，以实现三个主要目标：第一，创建并维持一个由研究人员、合作者和其他分支机构组成的网络，这些研究人员在运营工程中心领域内和跨领域工作；第二，通过讲习班和早期研究活动来促进这一网络，以便在灾害和灾害领域确定影响大、在方法上具有挑战性的问题；第三，制定出版物和其他产出，确立初步研究成果和未来工作议程，以应对新出现的挑战，这些挑战将有助于社会减轻、应对灾害和灾害并从中吸取教训的能力。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。

This EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) award will support the establishment of a network of operations researchers and a science plan to address cross-cutting methodological challenges in hazards and disaster research. An abiding challenge for decision making in the context of hazards and disasters derives from the need to provide prescriptive (decisional) guidance under dynamic conditions of sometimes profound uncertainty and risk. Addressing these challenge requires a renewed focus on identifying potentially high-impact research problems that lie beyond the boundary of existing disciplinary and interdisciplinary methods to address. This is particularly true for problems that involve large-scale, sometimes sustained interaction between human-machine systems and hazard-related phenomena within a broader policy and social context. This project will establish the Operations and Systems Engineering Extreme Event Research (OSEEER) network, designed to marshal both traditional and non-traditional sources of expertise in order to accomplish three main objectives: first, to create and sustain a network of researchers, collaborators and other affiliates working within and across operations engineering-centered areas; second, to stimulate this network through workshops and early-stage research activities in order to define high-impact, methodologically challenging problems in the field in the domain of hazards and disasters; and third, to develop publications and other outputs that establish preliminary research results and an agenda for future work to address emerging challenges that will contribute to society's ability to mitigate, respond to and learn from hazards and disasters.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.
