Workshop: Emerging Results, Critical Research Directions, and Grand Challenges for VOSS

21世纪科学和工程的挑战要求创建有效和高效的分布式、多学科、协作的团队和虚拟组织。该研究人员将管理一个研讨会，以开发新兴结果的详细图片，关键的研究方向，以及理解支撑虚拟组织的社会技术过程的重大挑战。这个项目规划研讨会将提供一个机会来巩固已经出现的新知识和确定新的方向。重点研究由美国国家科学基金会“虚拟组织作为社会技术系统（VOSS）”计划涵盖的领域，它将探索新兴的和潜在的生产研究方向和合成在公认的和预计的VOSS研究主题和目标的交叉点。还将注意到可能有趣但尚未成为主题或普遍引人注目的具体方向。

The challenges of 21st century science and engineering demand the creation of effective and efficient distributed, multi-disciplinary, collaborative teams and virtual organizations. This researcher will manage a workshop to develop a detailed picture of emerging results, critical research directions, and grand challenges for understanding the socio-technical processes that underpin virtual organizations.This program planning workshop will provide an opportunity to consolidate the new knowledge that has been emerged and identify new directions. Focusing on research in areas covered by the NSF "Virtual Organizations as Sociotechnical Systems (VOSS)" program, it will explore emergent and potential productive research directions and syntheses at the intersection of recognized and projected VOSS research themes, and objectives. Specific directions that might be interesting but not yet topical or generally compelling will also be noted.
