The initiative must be designed to attract the best researchers from both the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) community and, crucially, the other scientific and engineering disciplines in which the ideas are to be applied. In preparing a detailed initiative, it is essential to incorporate the advice and cooperation of leading researchers in all these fields. For this purpose it is proposed to hold two two-day planning workshops, with thirty to forty participants in each. About a third of the participants will be invited speakers, a third will beinvited discussants, and a third will be selected from the TCS community. The distinguishing feature of these workshops will be their multidisciplinary nature; experts from different areas will be invited and asked to focus on the computational lens and its use in solving problems from their field. The first workshop is tentatively planned for early December, 2006 at Princeton University, and the second for mid-March, 2007 at Caltech. Because of the wideranging nature of the scientific disciplines involved, the first workshop will focus on Biological and Earth Sciences, and the second on Physical and Mathematical Sciences. A report for the NSF based on the workshops will be completed by Summer, 2007.The intellectual merit of this proposal is the development of viable, promising courses of future interaction between CS and other disciplines. The broader impact will be that upon follow-on research: both directly by participants in the workshops, but ultimately much more widely if the workshops lead to an NSFcross-cutting initiative.

该计划的设计必须能够吸引来自理论计算机科学（TCS）界以及最重要的是应用这些想法的其他科学和工程学科的最优秀的研究人员。在准备详细的计划时，必须吸收所有这些领域领先研究人员的建议和合作。为此，建议举办两次为期两天的规划研讨会，每次有 30 至 40 名参与者。大约三分之一的参与者将被邀请发言，三分之一将被邀请讨论，三分之一将从 TCS 社区中选出。这些研讨会的显着特点是其多学科性质；来自不同领域的专家将被邀请并要求重点关注计算镜头及其在解决各自领域问题中的应用。第一次研讨会暂定于 2006 年 12 月初在普林斯顿大学举行，第二次研讨会于 2007 年 3 月中旬在加州理工学院举行。由于所涉及的科学学科范围广泛，第一个研讨会将重点关注生物和地球科学，第二个研讨会将重点关注物理和数学科学。基于研讨会的 NSF 报告将于 2007 年夏季完成。该提案的智力价值是开发可行的、有前景的计算机科学与其他学科之间未来互动的课程。更广泛的影响将是对后续研究的影响：既是由研讨会参与者直接进行的，但如果研讨会导致了 NSF 跨领域倡议，那么最终会产生更广泛的影响。
