Workshop: Emerging Configurations of the Virtual and the Real-Chicago, Fall 2010

越来越多的技术介导的相互作用在科学和工程研究中发挥着重要作用。本提案将管理一个讲习班，以确定和解决信息和通信技术进步的影响以及由此造成的人类与自然界脱节对信息科学研究和教育的影响。 拟议的讲习班将采取非常广泛的观点，汇集来自五个不同群体的有创造力和远见的思想家。 组织者将邀请来自信息学校的领导者，CI的关键思想家，IT界的思想领袖，同源领域的代表以及少数民族服务机构的CI研究人员。 讲习班将产生论文，概述iSchool研究的知识前沿和讲习班产生的协同作用，这些论文将在主要会议上提出，并在适当的期刊上发表。

Increasingly, technology mediated interactions play a significant role in science and engineering research. This proposal will manage a workshop to identify and address issues surrounding the impact of advances in information and communications technologies and the resulting human disengagement with the natural world on research and education in the information sciences. The proposed workshop will take a very broad view and bring together creative and visionary thinkers from five disparate constituencies. The organizers will invite leaders from information schools, key thinkers in CI, thought leaders from the IT worlds, representatives from cognate fields, and CI researchers from minority-serving institutions. The workshop will result in papers outlining the intellectual frontiers of iSchool research and synergies produced in the workshop, which will be presented at major conferences and published in appropriate journals.
