North America-East Asia Workshop on Big Data Analytics for Infrastructure and Building Sustainability and Resilience (IBSR) Research Changsha, China - September 19-21, 2014.

1440504(庄)。本次研讨会的重点是开发一个知识框架，并确定大数据分析在基础设施和建筑可持续性和弹性（IBSR）研究中的应用的研究需求。这是一个与城市可持续性直接相关的领域，由于快速的城市化，在中国受到高度关注，在美国也是如此，因为80%的美国人口现在居住在城市地区。美国国家科学基金会的资金将用于支持美国研究代表团参加研讨会的旅费和参加费用。研讨会将为与会者提供一个平台，让他们与来自世界各地有着相似研究兴趣的其他研究人员建立联系，并为此类研究制定框架。会议结束后，将在美国建立一个网站，以便(A)联系来自世界各地的研究人员，(b)传播研讨会的讨论、框架、研究兴趣和想法。知识框架和研究需求也将在网站上公布。研讨会参与者（包括项目负责人）将协助制定框架并确定研究需求，而项目负责人将负责在美国开发网站并传播从研讨会中收集的结果。本次研讨会将于2014年9月19日至21日在中国湖南长沙与ICSDEC 2014（2014年可持续设计、工程与建设国际会议）一起举行。ICSDEC 2014将由湖南大学土木工程学院建筑环境工程系教授龚光才博士主持。他也是湖南大学建筑环境实验室主任。张伟强博士（美国亚利桑那州立大学）和张杰博士（美国堪萨斯大学）将共同主持会议。讲习班将与会议同时举行，会议主席将担任讲习班的联合主席。该基金由美国国家科学基金会国际科学与工程部（ISE）通过ISE项目官员行动基金以及美国国家科学基金会工程理事会CBET部门的环境可持续性项目共同资助。

1440504 (Chong). The focus of this workshop is to develop a knowledge framework and identify research needs for the application of big data analytics on infrastructure and building sustainability and resilience (IBSR) research. This is an area related directly to urban sustainability, of high interest in China due to rapid urbanization, and also in the U.S., since 80% of the U.S. population now lives in urban regions. The NSF funds will be used to support the travel and participation costs of the U.S. research delegation to the workshop. The workshop will develop a platform for attendees to connect with other researchers from around the world who share similar research interests, and layout the framework for such research. A website will be developed in the U.S. after the conference to (a) connect researchers from around the world and (b) disseminate the discussions, framework, research interests, and ideas from the workshop. The knowledge framework and research needs will also be published on the website. Workshop participants (including the PI) will assist in developing the framework and identifying research needs, while the PI will be responsible for developing the website in the U.S. and disseminating the findings gathered from the workshop. The workshop will be held in conjunction with ICSDEC 2014 (International Conference on Sustainable Design, Engineering and Construction 2014) at Changsha, Hunan, China between September 19th to 21st, 2014. ICSDEC 2014 will be chaired by Dr. Guangcai Gong, Professor of the Hunan University, Department of Building Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering College. He is also the Head of the Lab of Building Environment at Hunan University. Dr. Wai Kiong (Oswald) Chong (Arizona State University) and Dr. Jae Chang (University of Kansas) will be co-chairing the conference. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the conference, with the conference chairs being co-chairs for the workshop. This grant is co-funded by NSF's International Science and Engineering section (ISE), through the ISE Program Officer Action Fund, as well as the Environmental Sustainability program in the CBET division of NSF's Engineering Directorate.
