Enablement and Control: The Expanding Ecology of Knowledge and Cyberinfrastructure

本次会议将审查使能性基础设施和基于法律的控制系统在影响知识的产生、管理、交流和利用时的相互作用。这将是2006年在华盛顿举行的一个跨学科的国际会议。这将是一系列主要会议中的第四次会议，通过以国际政策团体可访问的方式展示高质量的学术研究来解决信息技术的社会和经济影响。主要的智力贡献是关注开放技术和基础设施中合作与专有奖励之间日益紧张的关系。这样的会议可以对公共政策产生重大影响。

This conference will examine the interaction of enabling infrastructure and legally-based systems of control as they affect the generation, management, exchange, and utilization of knowledge. This will be an interdisciplinary, international conference held in Washington, DC in 2006. It will be the 4th in a series of major conferences that address the social and economic implications of IT by presenting high-quality academic research in a manner accessible to an international policy community. The major intellectual contribution is a focus on the growing tension between collaboration and proprietary rewards in open technologies and infrastructures. Such a conference can have significant impact on public policy.
