A Workshop on New Challenges and Directions for Systems Research; St. Louis, Missouri, July 31 - August 1, 1997

该奖项支持一个研讨会，以确定计算系统研究的新挑战和未来方向，该研讨会将于1997年7月31日和8月1日在圣路易斯举行。本次研讨会的目的是通过在系统的不同子领域（如操作系统、计算机体系结构、编译器、网络、多媒体和安全）之间建立协同作用，探索计算系统研究的新范式。本次研讨会的目标是汇集这些领域的顶尖专家，以确定系统研究中的重大挑战问题，并确定通过促进不同领域之间更密切和集中的合作可以实现的潜在飞跃。讲习班还计划解决为系统研究建立国家一级基础设施的问题。

This award supports a workshop to identify new challenges and future directions of research in computing systems, to be held in St. Louis on July 31 and August 1,1997. The objective of this workshop is to explore new paradigms in computing systems research by establishing synergy among different subareas of systems such as operating systems, computer architecture, compilers, networking, multimedia, and security. The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading experts from these areas to identify grand challenge problems in systems research, and identify potential quantum leaps that can be achieved by fostering a closer and focused collaboration among different areas. The workshop also plans to address the issue of building a national level infrastructure for systems research.
