Collaborative Projects: EAGER: A virtual eXchange to support networks of creativity and innovation amongst Science, Engineering, Arts and Design (XSEAD)Intellectual MeritOne of the greatest challenges facing the United States in research and education is how to fundamentally encourage innovation across all sectors and spawn new solutions to address global challenges. Increasing research evidence and industrial innovations (i.e. mobile computing, social media) confirm that broad interdisciplinary collaborations that include both science and art fields have great potential for spawning creativity and innovation in computer science, engineering and the sciences. An emerging hybrid community of scientists, engineers, artists and designers is producing innovative and entrepreneurial research that advances new knowledge and proposes holistic solutions to societal challenges including health, education and environmental change. Yet, this burgeoning interdisciplinary community continues to face problems in its efforts to self-organize among constraints imposed by academic systems and historical biases; it continues to seek a dynamic and synergizing research and outreach exchange.Building upon lessons-learned, a new Virtual eXchange to support networks of creativity and innovation amongst Science, Engineering, Art and Design (XSEAD) will be developed. The XSEAD project will address the following urgent needs of the interdisciplinary science-art community: establish a cohesive view of the field and provide a mechanism to attract entrepreneurs and industry; create a venue for multimodal documentation of research outcomes; provide extensive databases of prior and current research; allow rapid dissemination of research outcomes; facilitate forming of collaborations and specialized sub-communities; document and help evolve science-art curricula efforts and evaluation approaches; provide context and support mechanisms for science-arts careers; establish evidence of the societal impact of interdisciplinary science-art integration. The software engineering development components of XSEAD will contribute further knowledge in three technical areas: Content organization (improve the effectiveness of algorithms for dynamic, usage based, organization of large multimedia databases); Recommendation algorithms (promote the use of multi-relational structures for providing effective recommendations); Community dynamics (develop novel algorithms to extract structures that encode meaningful interactions in online social networks).Broader ImpactXSEAD will expose general non-expert audiences to the evolution and potential of collaborative research across science and arts. It will attract the interest of young people searching for careers that combine the rigor of science and engineering with the creativity and reflection of arts and design. It will serve teachers and informal learning communities seeking exemplars for curricular development, active practitioners looking for further institutional opportunities to present and support their ongoing work, academics developing related interdisciplinary efforts and commercial companies seeking cross-trained expertise. XSEAD will enable rapid research exchange and in-depth peer-reviewed scholarship between the worlds of science and art and provide a unique and deeply engaging inroad to a vast and creative repository. XSEAD will help promote new paradigms for developing human centric solutions to complex societal problems (i.e. cost effective health and wellness, globalization and conflict, adaptive K-12 learning, electronic communication and security). These paradigms will combine knowledge across broad and diverse areas of human knowledge.

合作项目： EAGER：支持科学、工程、艺术和设计之间的创造力和创新网络的虚拟交换（XSEAD）智力优势美国在研究和教育方面面临的最大挑战之一是如何从根本上鼓励所有部门和领域的创新催生新的解决方案来应对全球挑战。越来越多的研究证据和工业创新（即移动计算、社交媒体）证实，包括科学和艺术领域在内的广泛跨学科合作具有在计算机科学、工程和科学领域催生创造力和创新的巨大潜力。一个由科学家、工程师、艺术家和设计师组成的新兴混合社区正在开展创新和创业研究，以推进新知识并针对健康、教育和环境变化等社会挑战提出整体解决方案。然而，这个新兴的跨学科社区在学术体系和历史偏见的限制下，在自我组织的努力中仍然面临着问题；它继续寻求动态和协同的研究和外展交流。在吸取的经验教训的基础上，将开发一个新的虚拟交换，以支持科学、工程、艺术和设计（XSEAD）之间的创造力和创新网络。 XSEAD项目将解决跨学科科学艺术界的以下迫切需求：建立该领域的凝聚力观点并提供吸引企业家和产业的机制；创建一个多模式记录研究成果的场所；提供先前和当前研究的广泛数据库；允许快速传播研究成果；促进合作和专业分社区的形成；记录并帮助发展科学艺术课程的努力和评估方法；为科学艺术事业提供背景和支持机制；建立跨学科科学与艺术融合的社会影响的证据。 XSEAD 的软件工程开发组件将在三个技术领域贡献更多知识： 内容组织（提高动态、基于使用的大型多媒体数据库组织算法的有效性）；推荐算法（推广使用多关系结构来提供有效的推荐）；社区动态（开发新颖的算法来提取编码在线社交网络中有意义的交互的结构）。更广泛的影响XSEAD 将使一般非专家受众了解科学和艺术领域合作研究的演变和潜力。它将吸引那些寻求将科学和工程的严谨性与艺术和设计的创造力和反思相结合的职业的年轻人的兴趣。它将为寻求课程开发范例的教师和非正式学习社区、寻求进一步机构机会来展示和支持他们正在进行的工作的积极从业者、发展相关跨学科工作的学者以及寻求交叉培训专业知识的商业公司提供服务。 XSEAD 将促进科学和艺术领域之间的快速研究交流和深入的同行评审学术研究，并为巨大且富有创意的知识库提供独特且深入的途径。 XSEAD 将帮助推广新范例，开发以人为本的解决方案来解决复杂的社会问题（即具有成本效益的健康和保健、全球化和冲突、自适应 K-12 学习、电子通信和安全）。这些范式将结合人类知识的广泛和不同领域的知识。
