DG: The New Role of Science and Engineering in Risk Reduction

2002年2月，受“9·11”事件的启发，美国国家科学基金会在纽约市资助了一个成功的研讨会，以制定与意外事件相关的研究议程。现在，一年过去了，随着国土安全部的成立，国土安全的主题被更好地定义，因为它与联邦政府和国家科学基金会有关。NSF现在正致力于开发一个大型的跨机构网络基础设施计划。由该基金资助的研讨会旨在将网络基础设施和国土安全这两个领域并置，目标是在国土安全背景下制定与网络基础设施相关的计算机/信息科学研究议程。

Ramesh RaoUniversity of California San Diego"The New Role of Science and Engineering in Risk Reduction"In February 2002, NSF funded a successful workshop in New York City, inspired by the events of September 11, to develop a research agenda related to unexpected events. Now, one year later and with the Department of Homeland Security established, the topic of homeland security is much better defined as it relates to the Federal Government and NSF. NSF is now engaged in developing a large cross-agency initiative in Cyber-Infrastructure. The workshop being funded by this grant is intended to bring the two areas of cyber-infrastructure and homeland security into juxtaposition, with the goal of developing a computer/information science research agenda within the context of homeland security, as related to cyber-infrastructure.
