Project Scope
|
An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a public workshop to identify and frame fundamental challenges in moving toward critical infrastructure systems that are physically, socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable. The workshop will feature invited presentations and discussions. An agenda for the workshop will be developed that will focus on power, transportation, water supply, waste management, and telecommunications systems and on potential lines of inquiry/research that may be helpful in addressing these challenges. A report will be issued based on the workshop as the principal data-gathering event in the project.
The project sponsors are the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Presidents" Committee of the National Academies, and the Construction Industry Institute.
The start date for the project is October 2007.
Note: The project duration has been extended. The report will be issued in January, 2009. Update: 03/17/09: The report will be released on March 27, 2009 at 11:00 a.m.
