Workshop on Computation and Social Systems: Synthesis and Directions

它为计算和社会系统（CSS）计划的受助人研讨会提供资金，该计划支持团体，组织，社会社区，市场和社会中的计算和通信研究。 该计划的受资助者专注于两个研究领域。 一个是关于信息技术的整合，可持续利用和影响;另一个是关于推理，决策，整合，沟通和协作的理论和技术。研讨会探讨了与CSS研究社区的发展以及CSS计划在NSF和更大的研究世界中的地位有关的问题，问题和机会。 它召集来自CSS相关学科的活跃研究人员，专注于CSS社区面临的重大问题，通过建立以前的CSS和相关研讨会来帮助CSS研究制度化，并传达CSS社区的研究目标，结果和关键活动。 研讨会采用小组形式制定具体目标，并召开全体会议提交小组报告并就小组处理的问题达成共识。规划委员会和选定的与会者编写最后报告的各章，以电子方式分发供审查，然后连同执行摘要和执行演示幻灯片一起沿着印发。 http://www.ics.uci.edu/~king/css.html

It funds a Grantees' Workshop for the Computation and Social Systems (CSS) program, which supports research on computing and communications in groups, organizations, social communities, markets and society. The program's grantees have focused on two streams of research. One is on the integration, sustainable use, and impacts of information technology; the other is on theories and technologies for reasoning, decisionmaking, integration, communication and collaboration. The workshop examines problems, issues and opportunities related to the evolution of CSS research community and the CSS Program's place in NSF and in the larger research world. It convenes active researchers from CSS-related disciplines to focus on significant issues facing the CSS community, help institutionalize CSS research by building on previous CSS and related workshops, and communicate the research goals, results and key activities of the CSS community. The workshop uses small groups to develop specific objectives, and plenary sessions for delivering group reports and reaching consensus on issues dealt with by the small groups. The planning committee and selected participants prepare individual chapters of the final report to be circulated electronically for review, and then published for distribution along with an executive summary and executive presentation slides. http://www.ics.uci.edu/~king/css.html
