proposals
To achieve the aims of KDI, proposals are solicited from individuals or
groups for research that is inherently multidisciplinary* or that, while lying
within a single discipline, has clear impact on at least one other discipline.
In FY 1998, KDI will have three foci: Knowledge Networking (KN); Learning and
Intelligent Systems (LIS); and New Computational Challenges (NCC). This document
describes the three KDI foci, and serves as a solicitation for proposals in all
three areas. We anticipate that research on many important problems will span
the foci of KN, LIS, and NCC, and proposals that do so are most welcome.
KN will focus on attaining new levels of knowledge integration, information
flow, and interactivity among people, organizations, and communities.
LIS will emphasize research that advances basic understanding of learning and
intelligence in natural and artificial systems and supports the development of
tools and environments to test and apply this understanding in real situations.
NCC will emphasize new computational approaches to frontier science and
engineering problems as well as problems involving data intensive computations
and simulations.
More detailed information about the three foci and their particular emphases for
FY 1998 follows.
Knowledge Networking (KN)
Learning and Intelligent Systems (LIS)
New Computational Challenges (NCC)
* Throughout we will use "multidisciplinary" to include "interdisciplinary" and
"cross-disciplinary."
