Social, Cultural, Economic and Policy Challenges for Cyberinfrastructure Workshop; Dec. 1-3, 2004; Washington, DC

网络基础设施指的是获取和整合当今硬件、软件和人力信息技术资源的能力，以促进科学、工程、研究和教育目标的实现。 未来五年，网络基础设施的挑战将是社会文化和行为动力学、经济和政策。 该奖项的目的是举办一个研讨会，旨在为NSF的SBE和CISE董事会确定网络基础设施的社会科学，经济学，组织和政策研究中的关键问题。 研讨会的目标将是激发讨论内和SBE和CISE董事会服务的社区之间关于网络基础设施，并产生一份报告，概述了一些关键的挑战和领域的富有成效的研究，开发和实验SBE和CISE。 研讨会的具体目标是1）制作一份报告，为SBE和CISE社区制定网络基础设施研究和开发路线图，并为未来的项目和工作提供框架;2）为SBE和IT社区内的社区建设提供场所; 3）制定一个计划，研究IT对社会的影响，以及以IT为重点的组织和网络文化的动态。更广泛的影响：SBE在网络基础设施的发展中发挥着关键作用。 数据和计算网络基础设施不仅是SBE社区关键工作的推动者，而且SBE可以在围绕网络基础设施本身部署的设计，开发和文化中发挥关键作用。 一个战略性的方法来发展一个研究，开发和实验的机构，解决网络基础设施的社会文化，经济和政策挑战将是至关重要的，以确保其成功。特别是，社会和行为科学家，人文主义者，组织，政策和管理研究人员等作为网络基础设施的流程构建者以及网络基础设施的最终用户至关重要。这些社区只是零星地参与了网络基础设施模式、社会和组织结构的开发，并提供了丰富的经验和背景。

Cyber-infrastructure refers to the ability to access and integrate today's hardware, software, and human information technology resources in order to facilitate science, engineering, research and education goals. In the next five years, the challenge for Cyber-infrastructure will be socio-cultural and behavioral dynamics, economics, and policy. The objective of this award is to hold a hold a workshop that will seek to identify for the SBE and CISE Directorates at NSF the key problems in the social sciences, economics, organizational, and policy studies for Cyber-infrastructure. The goal of the workshop will be to stimulate discussion within and between the communities served by the SBE and CISE Directorates about Cyber-infrastructure and to produce a report that outlines some of the key challenges and areas for fruitful research, development and experimentation by SBE and CISE. Specific goals for the workshop are1) To produce a report which lays out a Cyber-infrastructure research and development roadmap for the SBE and CISE community and provide a framework for projects and efforts going forward;2) To provide a venue for community building within the SBE and IT communities;3) To lay out a program for research on the effects of IT on society and the dynamics of IT-focused organizations and the cyber-cultureBroader Impacts:SBE plays a key role in the development of Cyber-infrastructure. Not only is data and computational Cyber-infrastructure an enabler for key efforts for SBE communities, but SBE can play a critical role in the design, development and culture surrounding the deployment of Cyber-infrastructure itself. A strategic approach to the development of a body of research, development, and experimentation that addresses the socio-cultural, economic, and policy challenges of Cyber-infrastructure will be critical to ensure its success. In particular, social and behavioral scientists, humanists, organizational, policy and management researchers, etc. are critical as process builders for Cyber-infrastructure as well as end users of Cyber-infrastructure. Such communities have only sporadically been engaged in the development of Cyber-infrastructure models, social and organizational structures and have a wealth of experience and context to offer.
