International Workshop on Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems as a Mechanism to Foster International Collaboration, Melbourne, Australia

该奖项为13位美国计算机科学家提供部分支持，以参加2003年6月在澳大利亚墨尔本举行的国际计算科学会议上由美国组织的研讨会。这13位科学家是由NSF资助的13个美国信息技术研究（ITR）小组的代表。这些研究人员的工作和研讨会的统一主题是新的计算范式，动态数据驱动应用系统（DDDAS）。计算科学为广泛学科中的问题提供应用驱动的解决方案，包括但不限于大气科学、地球科学、生物学；这些挑战正越来越多地通过国际多学科研究团队的合作努力来解决。受资助的参与者将专注于分布式和基于网格的计算系统在复杂系统建模和复杂算法开发中的作用。该研讨会将展示美国ITR研究小组正在进行的研究，并且还将作为美国研究人员在该领域与澳大利亚、新西兰和东亚同行之间发展新的长期合作的催化剂。该提案描述了澳大利亚和新西兰的十几个前沿研究人员和小组的高度相关的研究，这些研究人员和小组要么是当前或过去的合作者，要么是计划访问以建立合作研究计划的重点。这些新的国际研究伙伴关系将为美国研究生、博士后和初级教师提供与外国合作者直接互动的机会。

0332988SaltzThis award provides partial support for thirteen US computer scientists to participate in a US-organized workshop at the International Conference on Computational Science, being held in Melbourne, Australia in June 2003. The thirteen scientists are representatives of thirteen U.S. information technology research (ITR) groups funded by NSF. The unifying theme of these researchers' work and for the workshop is the new computational paradigm, Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems (DDDAS). Computational science offers application-driven solutions for problems in a wide range of disciplines including but not limited to atmospheric sciences, geosciences, biology; these challenges are increasingly being tackled through the collaborative efforts of international multidisciplinary research teams. The funded participants will focus on the role of distributed and grid based computing systems in the modeling of complex systems and in the development of sophisticated algorithms.The workshop will showcase ongoing research of the US ITR research groups and it is also firmly planned in advance to serve as a catalyst for the development of new long-term collaborations between US researchers in this field and their counterparts in Australia, New Zealand and East Asia. The proposal described highly relevant research by over a dozen leading-edge researchers and groups in Australia and New Zealand that are either current or past collaborators or the focus of planned visits to establish collaborative research plans. These new international research partnerships will be designed to provide opportunities for US graduate students, post-docs and junior faculty to interact directly with the foreign collaborators.
