CMISS: DIMACS Project on CS/Math in Service to Society

DIMACS计算机科学/数学服务社会项目为计算机科学和相关数学和统计领域的研究人员和教育工作者以及他们在生物、化学、物理、工程、公共卫生、商业和社会科学等领域的合作者提供了一个全国性的资源。该项目加强和鼓励强调计算机科学、数学和统计学在涉及国土安全、能源、气候变化、医疗保健和经济等主题的社会问题上的应用的计划。该项目还强调发展计算机科学的基本方法以及数学和统计的相关领域。该奖项部分支持实现项目目标所需的DIMACS中心基础设施。由该项目支持的基础设施支持的研究计划围绕特别关注计划组织，包括研讨会、研究研讨会小组、教程和访客计划，主题包括计算和数学流行病学；互联网的算法基础；逼近的难度；算法决策理论；网络安全；信息共享；医学信息学中的计算问题；算法和能量；以及动态数据分析。教育方案同样能够通过以下活动整合从大学前期到博士后各个层面的研究和教育：面向本科生的广泛研究经验方案；在全国各地卫星地点运行的两年和四年制大学教职员工强调与课堂相关的最新研究课题的重新连接方案；针对中学和高中教师的全年讲习班方案；开发用于高中的生物和数学科学之间的模块材料；开发与计算思维、数据分析和国土安全有关的高中课堂模块；以及面向美国和非洲研究生的生物数学高级研究机构方案。

The DIMACS Project on Computer Science / Mathematics in Service to Society provides a national resource for a large community of researchers and educators in computer science and related mathematical and statistical areas as well as their collaborators in fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, public health, business, and the social sciences. The project enhances and encourages programs that emphasize applications of computer science, mathematics, and statistics to problems of society involving topics such as homeland security, energy, climate change, health care, and the economy. The project also emphasizes development of fundamental methods of computer science and related areas of mathematics and statistics. This award partially supports the DIMACS Center infrastructure required to achieve project goals.Research programs enabled by the infrastructure this project supports are organized around special focus programs consisting of workshops, research workshop groups, tutorials, and a visitor program, on topics including Computational and Mathematical Epidemiology; Algorithmic Foundations of the Internet; Hardness of Approximation; Algorithmic Decision Theory; Cybersecurity; Sharing Information; Computational Problems in Medical Informatics; Algorithms and Energy; and Dynamic Data Analysis. Educational programs similarly enabled integrate research and education across levels from precollege through postdoctoral via activities including an extensive Research Experiences for Undergraduates program; a Reconnect program run at satellite locations around the country for 2-year and 4-year college faculty highlighting recent research topics relevant to the classroom; a year-round program of workshops for middle and high school teachers; development of modular materials at the interface between the biological and mathematical sciences for use in high schools; development of high school classroom modules related to computational thinking and to data analysis and homeland security; and a program of advanced study institutes in bio-mathematics for US and African graduate students.
