Promoting Distributed Knowledge Systems

该项目将发起一个进程，将与若干以国家科学基金为基础的倡议有关的新观点结合起来，这些倡议围绕着以网络为基础的信息系统的开发和广泛应用。 NAS/CSTB将组织一次圆桌会议，将来自NSF和其他联邦机构、私人基金会和其他私营部门研究支持来源的高管聚集在一起，以促进互动和可能的合作。 其近期目标是促进信息交流，并促进更广泛和更有效地发展对关键公共和私营部门组织的相关研究计划的支持。 在某种程度上，这项活动是为了最大限度地发挥潜力和新的国家科学基金会知识和分布式智能倡议，包括知识网络，学习和智能系统，以及多机构下一代互联网，数字图书馆和普遍访问倡议。 许多植根于信息技术的相关研究项目也包含各种科学和工程学科，这些学科补充了计算机科学和工程，深入了解人们如何使用或可能使用信息技术。

This project will initiative a process for integrating emerging perspectives relevant to several NSF-based initiatives that revolve around the development and broad application of network-based information systems. The NAS/CSTB will organize a roundtable to bring togehter executives from NSF and other federal agencies, private foundations, and other sources of private sector research support to facilitate interactions and possible collaboration. Its near-term goal is to foster information exchange and promote broader and more effective development of support for relevant research programs across key public and private sector organizations. In part this activity is convened to maximize the potential and new National Science Foundation Knowledge And Distributed Intelligence initiatives including knowledge networking, learning and intelligent systems, as well as the multi-agency Next Generation Internet, digital libraries, and universal access initiatives. Many relevant research programs rooted in information technology also embrace a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines, which complement computer science and engineering with insight into how people do or might use information technology.
