Workshop on Cyberinfrastructure Platform for Public Health & Health Services, January 10 - 12, 2011

美国国家癌症研究所（NCI）/NSF关于公共卫生和卫生服务合作研究和应用的网络基础设施平台的联合研讨会：种子云方法，将于2011年1月10日至11日在圣地亚哥超级计算机中心，加州大学圣地亚哥分校举行，旨在为持续的研究工作奠定基础，包括公共卫生和卫生服务的主题，这将跨越技术和社会行为的界限。这项工作的NIH/NCI组件提供了激励应用程序和用例，而NSF组件提供了对网络基础设施，计算机科学以及社会和行为科学研究和教育社区的访问。研讨会的讨论将由来自广泛领域的用例驱动，包括紧急医疗服务;个人和移动的应用;行为和环境;癌症;以及社交网络和通信。预计研讨会的结果将为技术和社会行为参数提供投入，以开发研究和应用的合作平台。此外，研讨会的一个重要目标是将想法和概念具体化为一个区域平台，例如加州地区，并启动一个种子云，以便对该地区的公共卫生和卫生服务主题进行研究。研讨会将确定一系列广泛的研究需求和机会，必须解决这些需求和机会，以推进医疗保健服务的网络基础设施;人口健康;以及计算机和信息系统。

The joint National Cancer Institute (NCI)/NSF workshop on A Cyberinfrastructure Platform for Collaborative Research and Application in Public Health and Health Services: A Seeded Cloud Approach, to be held on January 10-11, 2011 at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, UC San Diego, is aimed at setting the stage for a sustained research effort encompassing the theme of public health and health services, which will cut across technical and socio-behavioral boundaries. The NIH/NCI component of this effort provides the motivating applications and use cases, while the NSF component provides the access to the cyberinfrastructure, computer science, and social and behavioral science research and education communities. The workshop discussions will be driven by use cases drawn from a broad set of areas including, Emergency Medical Services; Personal and Mobile Applications; Behavior and Environment; Cancer; and, Social Networking and Communication. The results of the symposium are expected to provide input into technical and socio-behavioral parameters for developing a collaborative platform for research and application. In addition, an important goal of the workshop will be to concretize the ideas and concepts into a regional platform, e.g. for the California region, and to initiate a seeded cloud to enable research on public health and health services topics in that region. The workshop will identify a broad set of research needs and opportunities that must be addressed to advance cyberinfrastructure for healthcare services; population health; and, computer and information systems.
