Workshop on Intelligent Systems Research to Support Geosciences and EarthCube Mission

该讲习班将作为启动协同研究的渠道，通过推动信息系统研究的创新网络基础设施，促进我们对地球系统的了解。研讨会将有助于综合智能系统研究的愿景和需求，这将提供EarthCube设想的推动地球科学发展的新能力。该研讨会将促进以地球科学要求为基础的发现信息学新兴领域的社区和研究议程。与会者将讨论如何处理不同数据整合和可视化方面的问题(例如，手工绘制的草图、航空图像、实地数据储存库、与利益攸关方的访谈)、利用科学元数据和数学模型进行本体论推理(例如，表示不确定性、模拟预测、不断演变的理论)。讲习班讨论产生的突出主题将在讲习班最后报告中详细阐述，该报告将提供给广泛的研究界。

This workshop will serve as a conduit for jump-starting synergistic research advancing our understanding of the Earth system through innovative cyber-infrastructure that pushes the envelope on information systems research. The workshop will help synthesize a vision and needs for intelligent systems research that will provide new capabilities envisioned by EarthCube to advance geosciences. The workshop will catalyze a community and research agenda in the emerging area of Discovery Informatics grounded on geoscience requirements. Participants will discuss how to tackle problems in heterogeneous data integration and visualization (e.g., hand-made sketches, aerial imagery, field-data repositories, stakeholder interviews), ontological reasoning with scientific metadata and mathematical models (e.g., representing uncertainty, simulation predictions, evolving theories). The salient themes arising from discussions at the workshop will be articulated in detail in a final workshop report, which will be made available for the broad research community.
