NSF ITR Grant

Program: Information Technology Research

Title: Interaction and Participation in Integrated Land Use, Transportation, and Environmental Modeling

Principal Investigator: Alan Borning (Department of Computer Science & Engineering). Co-Principal Investigators: Paul Waddell (Evans School of Public Affairs and Urban Design & Planning), Batya Friedman (Information School), Mark Gross (Department of Architecture), David Notkin (Department of Computer Science & Engineering), Zoran Popovic (Department of Computer Science & Engineering).

Anticipated amount and duration: $3,500,000, 5 years, September 2001-August 2006 (no-cost extension through 2007 planned).

Principal research topics: in human computer interaction, providing more effective ways of understanding the results from and interacting with complex simulations, and ways of linking stakeholder values with design choices in simulations and their interfaces; in computer graphics, capabilities for producing simulated street-level animations of urban environments from a policy-driven simulation; and in software engineering, new software structures that allow us to design, integrate, and evolve complex and diverse urban submodels.
