Workshops on Intelligent Information Systems

数以百万计的分散的信息/计算资源必须能够协同、高效和透明地使用。如果没有整合和更多的“智能”，在目前不相连的计算资源上的巨大收益和巨大投资可能会失去。所需的技术进步取决于技术集成，而不是任何一项技术。这样的整合需要一个共同的愿景，并确定研究、开发和应用方面的问题和机会。研讨会讨论了支持下一代信息系统先进功能的核心技术，我们将其称为智能和协作信息系统。核心技术包括信息/数据/知识/对象管理、操作系统、人工智能、分布式计算和互操作性。系统开发和合作、分散的工作将在不同但相关的研讨会上进行。研讨会通过学术和工业研究人员在关键技术方面的集体洞察和合作来应对这一挑战。技术目标是：(1)确定愿景；(2)确定关键技术和集成替代方案；(3)描述研究和开发状况；(4)概述技术挑战；以及(5)调查不相关技术的具体问题。将向研究和开发界广泛传播技术成果和建议。这次研讨会的独特之处在于对技术整合和国际合作的关注。

Millions of disjoint information / computing resources must be able to be used cooperatively, efficiently, and transparently. Without integration and increased "intelligence", the dramatic benefits and massive investments in currently disjoint computing resources may be lost. The required technical advances depend on technology integration rather than on any one technology. Such integration requires a shared vision and an identification of the research, development, and application problems and opportunities. The workshop addresses core technologies to support advanced features of next generation information systems, which we label intelligent and cooperative information systems. Core technologies include information/data/knowledge/object management, operating systems, artificial intelligence, distributed computing, and interoperability. Systems development and cooperative, distributed work are being addressed in separate but related workshops. The workshop addresses this challenge through the collective insight and collaboration of academic and industrial researchers in the key technologies. Technical objectives are to: (i) define the vision, (ii) identify the key technologies and integration alternatives; (iii) characterize the research and development status, (iv) outline technical challenges, and (v) investigate specific issues across disjoint technologies. Technical results and recommendations will be widely disseminated to the research and development communities. The unique aspects of this workshop are the focus on technology integration and international cooperation.
