2001 NSF Information and Data Management Program Workshop

计算机和网络技术和存储的最新进展，出版的爆炸式增长，以及来自互联网和卫星等来源的数据可用性的大量增加，使前所未有的新计算机应用程序的出现成为可能，对数据和信息的使用和管理方式提出了新的挑战。这一挑战将塑造21世纪的研究议程和有待开发的技术。本次研讨会的目的是将目前由美国国家科学基金会信息和数据管理计划（IDM）资助的项目项目和合作项目项目聚集在一起：(1)合作分析和关注问题的研究和开发问题，这些问题对应对这一新挑战的进展至关重要；(2)就IDM资助的主要研究活动的目标、贡献和挑战进行分享、示范和互动，探索富有成效的合作和协同作用；(3)为NSF项目官员、其他基金会和资助机构以及行业代表提供机会，了解IDM资助项目的当前研究工作和成功情况，并让这些官员分享他们的项目亮点和关注点。讲习班将以硬拷贝和电子形式编写关于目前由工发组织资助的所有项目的记录。讲习班还将编写一份报告，详细说明今后的研究方向，并将提出有希望的研究方式，目的是促进创新和技术转让。会议记录将提供可按不同标准搜索的项目信息，并提供发现与它们对社会的应用之间的联系。讲习班网站（http://itlab.uta.edu/idm01）还将提供其他相关材料的链接。

Recent advances in computer and network technologies and storage, the explosion of publishing, and the vast increase in data availability from sources such as the Internet and satellites, that have enabled the emergence of an unprecedented number of new computer applications, present a new challenge to the ways data and information are used and managed. This challenge will shape both the research agenda as well as the technology to be developed for the 21st century. The objective of this workshop is to bring together the PIs and Co-PIs currently funded by the Information and Data Management Program (IDM) of the National Science Foundation to: (1) cooperatively analyze and focus on the research and development issues of problems that are fundamental in making progress towards this new challenge; (2) share, provide demonstrations and interact with each other on the objectives, contributions and challenges of major research activities funded by the IDM and explore fruitful collaboration and synergism; and (3) provide an opportunity to NSF program officers, other foundations and funding agencies, and industry representatives to learn more about the current research efforts and successes of projects funded by IDM, and for such officers to share their program highlights and concerns. The workshop will generate a proceedings on all projects currently funded by IDM in both hard copy and electronic form. The workshop will also generate a report detailing future directions of research and will suggest promising modalities of research with an aim to foster innovation and technology transfer. The proceedings will provide project information searchable by different criteria and provide connections between discoveries and their use to society. The workshop website (http://itlab.uta.edu/idm01) will also include links to other relevant material.
