Toward a climate for interdisciplinary computing

摘要：这个迫切的项目是促进跨学科的研究和教育，将计算作为一个核心组成部分。一群在这种努力中取得成功并有兴趣讨论促进和加强这些努力的最佳方式的人正聚集在一起，讨论这一具有高度国家利益的领域。这一努力的最终结果是为这种讨论创造一个家园，并满足拥有一个全国性场所的需要。主要目标是在利益相关者之间建立联系，帮助形成对他们可能面临的障碍的清晰看法，并确定跨学科研究和教育社区可能需要哪些类型的支持和鼓励。智力优势：该项目正在创造一个围绕跨学科研究和教育的讨论空间。这对于支持科技企业，无论是应用型还是研究型，都是非常重要的。创建一个在不同领域之间具有可行交流渠道的共同论坛，将为相互充实和重要的智力成果提供新的机会。广泛的影响：这将在新生的跨学科学者社区内产生最重大的影响。尽管我们知道有价值的努力的具体情况，但这些社区经常把太多的精力和努力花在克服障碍上，而不是在其合并的领域中促进知识上。该项目的具体结果将取决于社区成员的决定，但可能的结果可能包括专门为这些需求设计的新的会议系列、新的出版物和新的在线社区。

Summary: This EAGER project is to promote interdisciplinary research and education involving computing as a central component. A community of people who have been successful in such efforts and who have an interest in discussing the best ways to promote and strengthen these is being gathered together to discuss this area of high national interest. The eventual outcome of this effort is to create a home for such discussion and fill the need to have a national venue. The primary goal is to create connections among the stakeholders and help to develop a clear view of impediments they might face and determine what types of support and encouragements the interdisciplinary research and education community might need.Intellectual Merit: This project is creating a space for discussions around interdisciplinary research and education. This is very important for the support of the scientific enterprise, both applied and research oriented. Creating a common forum with viable communication channels among diverse fields will provide new opportunities for mutual enrichment and significant intellectual products.Broader Impacts: The most significant impact of this will be within the nascent communities of trans disciplinary scholars. Although we know of specific instances of valuable efforts, these communities frequently expend too much of their energy and effort in overcoming impediments rather than in advancing knowledge in their combined fields. The specific results of this project will depend on what the members of the community decide, but possible results could include a new conference series, new publications, and new online communities designed specifically for these needs.
