Information Sciences Assessment for Asia and Australasia

摘要

The purpose of this grant was to investigate the state-of-the-art of information science (IS) research in the territory of the Asian Office of Aerospace Research and Development (AOARD), analyze its relevance to the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), and recommend appropriate activities for AOARD to consider funding under its basic research program. This was accomplished through several field trips to countries in the AOARD territory (which covers Asia and Australasia), through studying the information sciences literature for the relevant countries, through meetings with all of the AFOSR and AOARD Program Managers covering IS topics, and through attendance at several conferences and workshops.
