Greetings! (01)
You and your colleagues are invited to Collaborative Expedition Workshop
#77, "Exploring the Virtual Organization Landscape: Cyberinfrastructure
Readiness for Emergency Response". This no fee, one-day public workshop
will explore the emerging cyberinfrastructure landscape for light-weight
virtual organizing, simulation, and emergency communications exchange
capabilities. (02)
Building on best practices from international disaster preparedness
standards to on-going state and local efforts, participants will have the
opportunity to learn and contribute to this on-going challenge of
unprecedented scale, complexity, and significance to national health and
security. Participants will explore how simulated "practice &
high-performance readiness hubs" are built on credible commitments and
foresight from multiple forms of expertise. Such commitments, expressed in (03)
open standards, enable coherent, yet comprehensive visual and auditory
information flows. This collective communications and discernment capacity (04)
outperforms "command and control-only" organizing. (05)
This workshop will open up dialogue to facilitate "bootstrapping" among
multiple communities and institutions whose individual and collective
contributions to shared design challenges will shape our national
experience of cyberinfrastructure for years to come. (06)
RSVP: You will need to pre-register for this workshop by sending an email
to Angela Carter at carter@xxxxxxxxx (07)
WHEN: Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 9:00am - 4:30pm
