Computing Innovations in the Social Sciences - Conference/ Workshop, October 1987, Ithaca, NY

这是一份社会科学家会议的提案，主题是社会科学中的计算创新。会议将于1987年10月初在康奈尔大学举行，为期两天半。它由康奈尔社会经济研究所(CSER)组织和主办，由社会学教授兼CSER主任罗伯特·麦金尼斯领导。会议将集中讨论a)为社会科学研究建立地方和区域通信网络；b)将超级微型计算机整合到网络中；c)在超级计算机上进行社会科学计算；d)统计资料包和图表的创新；e)数据存档、检索和网络分配。新技术和软件的大量涌现使计算机技能的不断更新变得格外重要。会议将为社会科学家提供创新的硬件和软件演示，并将促进尖端群体之间的技术转移，以及从他们到较小的学术研究小组的技术转移。

This is a proposal for a conference of social scientists on the topic of computing innovations in the social sciences. The conference will be held for two and a half days in early October 1987 at Cornell University. It is organized and hosted by the Cornell Institute of Social and Economic Research (CISER), under the direction of Robert McGinnis, Professor of Sociology and Director of CISER. The conference will center on a) establishing local and regional communication networks for social science research; b)integrating superminicomputers into the networks; c) social science computation on supercomputers; d) innovations in statistical packages and graphics; e) data archiving, retrieval and network distribution. The profusion of new technologies and software places a premium on the continuous updating of computer skills. The conference will provide demonstrations of innovative hardware and software for use by social scientists and will promote technology transfer both among leading edge groups and from them to smaller academic research groups.
