Workshop: Distributed Collective Practices

这是一项为期24个月的标准奖励，旨在支持关于分布式集体实践(DCP)的技术、认知和社会过程和基础设施的计算机调解的扩展研讨会。DCP是按照社会组织、认知过程和技术基础设施的维度进行概念化的。第四个新出现的相当重要的交叉领域是开发非常大的分布式、可共享的信息库、社区记忆项目和数据仓库，它们创建了以计算机为媒介的集体记忆做法。这次研讨会汇集了计算机科学家、认知科学家、图书馆和信息科学家、人工智能研究人员和社会科学家，目的是加强和集中这一领域新兴的多学科国际研究社区。研讨会的结构将是为期两年的网上讨论，其间将举行两次面对面的会议。第一年将建立一个种子社区，制定一个国际研究计划，并让国际科学界和公众参与进来。第二年将评估进展，综合讨论和联合工作的结果，制定和调整计划的目标，并制作文件。该项目涉及来自法国和美国的四个参与小组，包括国家科学研究中心、国家高等电信学院、伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校和加州大学圣地亚哥分校。合作资金由联合国教科文组织社会变革管理方案和法国L信息与传播科学研究所提供。

This is a twenty-four month standard award to support an extended, computer-mediated workshop on technical, cognitive, and social processes and infrastructures for distributed collective practices (DCP). DCP is conceptualized along the dimensions of social organization, cognitive processes, and technical infrastructures. A fourth crosscutting area of considerable emerging importance is the development of very large distributed, shareable information bases, community memory projects, and data warehouses, that create computer-mediated collective memory practices. This workshop brings together computer scientists, cognitive scientists, library and information scientists, artificial intelligence researchers, and social scientists, with the aim of strengthening and focusing the emergent multidisciplinary, international research community in this area. The workshop will be structured as a two-year web-based discussion, punctuated with two face-to-face meetings. The first year will establish a seed community, elaborate an international research program, and involve international scientific communities and the general public. The second year will assess progress, synthesize the results of discussions and joint work, develop and refocus the program's objectives, and produce documentation. This project involves four participating groups from France and the US, including the CNRS Laboratoire d'Informatique pour la Mecanique et les Sciences de l'Ingenieur (LIMSI); the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications (ENST); the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). Collaborative funding is being provided by the UNESCO Management Of Social Transformations Program and the Societe Francaise des Sciences de l'Information et de la Communication.
