A Design of High Performance FPGA based Floating-Point to Integer Arithmetic forFace RecognitionNopphol Noikaew, Sathaporn Visakhasart and Orachat ChitsobhukComputer Engineering Department, Faculty of EngineeringKing Mongkut’s Institute of Technology LadkrabangBangkok, ThailandEmail: nop_ce_kmitl@,son_solid@ and kcoracha@kmitl.ac.thAbstractThe computation of face recognition requires floating-point arithmetic for high precision. However, Floating-point operations are costly and complex in terms of hardware implementation, which leads to impractical implementation for real time applications. Therefore, in this paper, a novel design of high performance FPGA based floating-point to integer arithmetic (FLOATIAs) for face recognition under performance constrain is presented. The goal is to optimize the hardware cost and increase the processing speed while still maintains high recognition performance. The proposed conversion algorithm based on shift reduction can be completed within only a single clock cycle. Once the conversion has been done, all the calculation could be implemented on a simple ALU for integer computation. This results in much less computational complexity and hardware cost thus can help to significantly accelerate the recognition system. Several face recognition techniques are adopted to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed architecture using several standards face databases.The experimental results using the proposed architecture show high recognition rates in most of the cases. The design can achieve the speed greater than 100 MHz or approximately 8 times that of floating-point architecture. Moreover, with the FPGA based implementation, the hardware cost could be reduced at approximately 50% of the floating-point architecture. It has been proven that the proposed architecture preserves high recognition performance while encourages the reduction in hardware resources and processing delay.Keywords: Face Recognition, Floating-point to integer conversion, FPGA, PCA, MPCA1. IntroductionFace recognition system is one of the most important applications for image analysis. Several face recognition techniques are applied in face, iris, fingerprints and palm. Its applications are becoming more important such as ATM machines, criminal identification, access restriction, identification of personality, documentary profiles etc. Several face recognition systems are proposed in the literature such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) [1], Modular PCA (MPCA) [2-3], Weight Modular PCA (WMPCA) [3-4], Wavelet PCA [5-7].The PCA based algorithm considers face as a single unit, which neglect the important fact that different regions of face vary at different rates due to variations of illumination and expression.The WMPCA algorithm divides face into 3 sub-images. Therefore, the parallel architecture for face recognition could be associated with the WMPCA in order to minimize the processing time [8]. Each sub-image is separated and processed in each processing element (PE), thus the weighted sum of the results from all the sub-images is calculated at the final stage. However, the internal PE process is still a sequential process, which causes considerable delay in the PE. Consequently, a multi-pipeline architecture [9] is designed for the PCA, MPCA, WMPCA and Wavelet based technique is proposed tominimize the processing time and hardware cost. All tasks in each PE are scheduled in pipe-lining manner. Nevertheless, the multi-Pipeline architecture employs a floating-point arithmetic, which requires a large amount of processing time and hardware cost. Therefore, if we can convert from floating-point to integer arithmetic, all the calculation could be performed on a simple ALU for integer computation. This can reduce the computational complexity, optimize the hardware cost, and increase the processing speed, while still maintain high recognition performance. The proposed FLOAting-point To Integer Arithmetic Conversion (FLOATIAs) is designed based on shift reduction with the scaling of power of two. It not only converts the data types, but also conducts shift optimization to minimize the execution speed down to only a single clock cycle.This paper is organized as followed. Section 2 presents the related architecture for face recognition system. Section 3 discusses the proposed FLOATIAs architecture while the experimental results are illustrated in section 4 followed by a conclusion in section 5.2. The Related ArchitectureWeighted modular PCA [8] separates the face image into sub-regions and performs recognition on each sub-region individually. Each face is horizontally split into a set of sub-regions such as eyes, nose and lips. Each sub-region is separately processed in each processing element unit (PEUs) thus weighted sum of the results from all the sub-images is calculated at the final stage. All of these computations are implemented in parallel as illustrated in Fig. 1.Fig.1: The related architecture However, the internal PE process is still a sequential process, which caused processing delay. The parallel structure adopted from the multi-pipeline architecture [9] is employed All the tasks in each PE are processed in pipeline. For each sub-region of PCA, MPCA, WMPCA and Wavelet based techniques, the calculation requires averaging the sub-regions, and calculating covariance matrix, eigenface, and the weight set as in PEU process. Thus, the number of PEUs depends on the number of partitioned regions, where one PEU is assigned for each region. All schedules are implemented based on multi-pipeline manner. The project image (projection coefficients) [9] can be estimated by projecting the centered vector onto the eigenspace follow as:][ψ-Γ⋅=trainsettrainseteigenfacew(1)][ψ-Γ⋅=testtesteigenfacew(2)wheretrainsetw,testw are the project image of training and test images respectively.Finally, the weighted sum of the difference of eigenface projection could be measured by equation (3).(){}[]⎥⎥⎦⎤⎢⎢⎣⎡-Γ⋅-=∑=≤≤r njtesttrainj iMieigenfacewWeighte1,1minψ(3) Net error is obtained as a weighted sum of the error vectors of individual sub-region. The given face is classified and assigned to the class having the nearest Euclidean distance)(e in face space by:testtrainsetwwe-=min(4)3. The Proposed ArchitectureIn this section, a new methodology for the floating-point to integer arithmetic conversion is proposed. The FLOATIAs is designed to implement on hardware based on FPGA for face recognition applications.3.1. Floating-Point to Integer ConversionAlgorithmFor face recognition system, hardware cost and time consumption could be minimized while still maintains high recognition performance. In general floating-point to integer conversion, the operation is performed by shifting the input according to the value of the multiplier. This could take several clock cycles, which is a time consuming task. To reduce computationalcomplexity, the FLOATIAs is designed to exploit the shift reduction with the scaling factor of power of two. As a result, the conversion can be completed within a single clock cycle. The computational accuracy must be denoted. The multi-pipeline architecture [9] is adopted in the proposed face recognition structure. The FLOATIAs is inserted into the PEUs to convert the floating-point input to the integer number before submitting to face recognition process as illustrated in Fig. 3. However, the error associated with the conversion must not disturb the performance of the application. In this paper, the recognition rate and false alarm rate are the main criterions to evaluate the success of associating the FLOATIAs to the proposed face recognition system.Fig.2: The IEEE754 single precision for floating point standard representationThe IEEE754 single precision for floating point standard representation is employed in the proposed structure. The floating-point format requires 32 bits, which could be represented as the bit numbers from 0 to 31, left to right. The first bit is the sign bit, called “Sign Bit A”. The next eight bits are the exponent bits, “Expo A”, and the final 23 bits are the mantissa, called 'Mantissa A'.The FLOATIAs architecture can be divided into 4 main parts:1) Sign bit Part, 2) E-shift and Rounding Part, 3) Bit Shifting Unit (BSU), and 4) Integer conversion as illustrated in Fig. 4. Furthermore, three structures are implemented in parallel.1)The Sign bit part is the sign of the integer output.2)In the E-shift (e) and Rounding status calculation part, a bias of 127 is added to the actual exponent to make negative exponent possible without using a sign bit. Not the whole range of Expo A is used to represent numbers. As you may have seen from the above formula, the leading fraction bit before the decimal point is actually implicit and can be 1 or 0 depending on the exponent. The round-to-nearest-even rounding mode is adapted to the proposed FLOATIAs architecture. The value is rounded up or down to the nearest infinitely precise result. If the leading fraction bit is exactly halfway, it should be rounded up to the nearest infinitely precise even.3)In Bit Shifting Unit, the input data of BSU is a combination of Exponent value and Mantissa called “Data A” as shown in Fig. 2. Floating-point number is converted to integer number by BSU. Data A is multiplied by the power of 10 values (101) and then rounded to the nearest integer. The scaling power of 10 is separated into scaling factors of power of 2, which the summation of all the power of 2 factors should be equal to the required power of 10. The power of 2 scaling is just shifting operation by the power, which is known and can be done immediately after loading the input. Each scaling factor is used to scale the input. All the results are then added up to achieve the conversion result. The entire conversion requires only a single clock cycle. This can help to significantly accelerate the recognition system.For example, if we want the conversion to be a single precision, the input should be scaled with 101. The required power of 2 factors should be added to 101. Therefore, two scaling factors of 23 and 21 are chosen since 23+21 = 10. As a result, y = (s23+s21) where s is Data A, which is shifted left by 1 and 3 times, respectively. Afterward, the Output Data A is the summation of the shift results as illustrated in Fig 5.Fig.3: Face recognition process4) The Integer Conversion part is to accumulate the results from all previous parts to form an integer result. The sign bit of the floating-point input can be directly used as a sign of the integer result. However, the final integer result must be determined from Output Data A and the Rounding status. The rounding status derived from Mantissa bits is used as a rounding condition for the final integer result.The internal FLOATIAs architecture is scheduled in parallel to optimize the processing speed. Moreover, it encourages the computational reduction for face recognition system.∑==ni ias y 1(4)where y is the result of integer data, s is inputfloating number, n is number of factor, a i is power of two such as: 23, 21Fig.4: Internal FLOATIAs ArchitectureFig.5: Bit Shifting Unit4. Experiment and ResultsIn the experiment, the input face vectors must be previously prepared for evaluating the performance of the PCA, MPCA and Wavelet based face recognition system. During the preparation of the training set, a covariance matrix and eigenfaces (K) of the training images are computed. Each training image is then projected onto eigenspace. Four eigenfaces and fifteen project images are analyzed. These test vectors and project images are processed in the proposed face recognition system. Finally, the recognition index is identified. The proposed architecture of floating-point to integer conversion is implemented on Xilinx FPGA (xc3s4000-5fg900). The face image datasets used in this paper include Yale face database [10] and ORL face database [11]. An example of face images is shown in Fig. 6. Due to the limitation of the hardware, only a small database of 5 subjects and 3 samples per subjects are exploited. The resolution of each face image is 32 x 32 pixels. Samples of 5 subjects are selected and grouped into 7 different testsets. Testset 1 –6 [10] canbe categorizedintogroups ofstraightfaces, emotionalfaces,straight faces with glasses, emotional faces with glasses, faces with various skin colors, and faceswith glasses and different skin colors respectively. Test set 7 [11] is a group of bending faces where the faces are positioned in different viewpoints.Fig.6: An example of face image from trainingdatasetTable 2 to 5 presents face recognition rate andfalse alarm rate evaluated from PCA, MPCA and Wavelet based technique using 7 different test sets. From the experimental results, recognition rate and false alarm rate of floating-point and integer with a single precision conversion still maintains high recognition rate. Since the proposed conversion algorithm can be completed within only a single clock cycle, it is able to achieve the speed up to 5.98 times that ofthe floating-point implementation. It can reachthe maximum frequency at 110.52 MHz or approximately 8 times faster. The required hardware cost can be reduced about 50% lower.A comparison of the hardware cost, recognition speed, and processing time for floating-point [10] and integer (FLOATIAs) based face recognition is presented in Table 1. The success of the FLOATIAs comes from the integer computation of the face recognition, which can handle all the arithmetic operations in a simple ALU.Table 1: A comparison of the hardware cost, recognition speed, and processing time5. ConclusionsIn this paper, a new design of high performance FPGA based floating-point to integer arithmetic, FLOATIAs, for face recognition system has been proposed. The design has encouraged the reduction in hardware cost and time consumption under an accuracy constraint. The proposed conversion algorithm can be completed within a single clock cycle while still maintains recognition performance. Face recognition techniques are adopted to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed architecture using several standard face databases. The experimental results show that a single precision is sufficient for PCA, Wavelet PCA and Wavelet MPCA technique. The recognition rate obtained from the integer based face recognition is comparable to that of the floating-point based architecture. However, a single precision is inadequate for the MPCA technique. It requires higher precision in order to achieve the similar performance to the floating-point based operations. Consequently, the FLOATIAs should be modified so that it could handle the scalable precision with equivalent speed. 6. References[1] M. Turk and A.

well-being;landscape;region.⾃18世纪下半叶的⼯业⾰命以来,世界⼈⼝已经从不⾜10亿增加到71亿之多.毫⽆疑问,⼯业⾰命以来的科学、技术⾰命⼤⼤地推动了社会和经济的发展,使⼈类物质⽣活的整体⽔平得以⼤⼤提⾼;但⼀系列的重⼤环境问题亦相伴⽽来.⼈类驯化植物⽽发展了农业;驯养动物⽽发展了牧业;聚居贸易,劳动分⼯进⽽创造了城市;随之⽽来的是经济规模化、⼯业化和现代化.今天,⼈类之能事可谓拔⼭填海,堵江截流,呼风唤⾬,改天换地.⼈类不只是驯化个别种群或物种,⽽是在驯化整个⽣态系统,整个景观,乃⾄整个⽣物圈[1-4].⾃然已不再“⾃然”,其“均衡”早已被打破[5].有多少昔⽇的桃花源和阿尔卡笛亚(Arcadia)已是天不蓝、⽔不澈、风不清、⾬不顺?地球系统已经千疮百孔,表破内损,包括全球⽓候变化、⽣物多样性锐减、⾃然资源耗竭以及环境质量下降在内的诸多环境问题正在挑战着⼈类社会的可持续性.因此,如何在满⾜⼈类发展需求的同时,持续地保障地球⽣命⽀持系统的基本结构和功能,即“可持续发展”[6-10],已成为学术界和社会各界⼴泛关注的重⼤科学和决策问题[11-13].可持续发展的理念可追溯到中国古典哲学之核⼼思想———“天⼈合⼀”[1].20世纪70年代,当⼈⼝、资源、⽣态和环境问题⽇趋严重、⼴为⼈知之时,可持续发展概念才开始盛⾏[14-16].然⽽,从1987年联合国世界环境与发展委员会正式定义什么是可持续发展,到1992年联合国在巴西⾥约热内卢举⾏的⾸届可持续发展地球峰会(Earth Summit),再到2002年在南⾮约翰内斯堡召开的第⼆届地球峰会,以及2012年重返巴西⾥约热内卢的第三届可持续发展地球峰会,显然可见20多年来联合国和世界各国政府对可持续发展的⾼度重视.作为可持续发展的科学依据和运作指南,可持续性科学(sustainabili-ty science)也在21世纪初应运⽽⽣.何谓可持续性科学?虽然确切⽽公认的答案尚且难寻,但可以肯定的是,该科学在短短的⼗⼏年中迅速发展,⼴泛拓展,其科学概念框架和研究体系正在形成.作为泱泱⼤国的中国,为了追“中国梦”,实现⽣态⽂明,就必须在可持续性科学⽅⾯有长⾜发展,继续为世界可持续发展做出重⼤贡献.然⽽,⽬前国内学界对该领域的研究和介绍甚少.为此,本⽂拟对可持续性科学的基本概念和研究论题作⼀较为系统的介绍,并对可持续性评估⽅法和可持续性科学的发展前景加以讨论.1可持续发展和可持续性1.1可持续发展的概念中⽂的“可持续发展”是直接从英⽂的sustain-able development翻译⽽来.根据《在线词源词典》(http://www.etymonline.com/),英⽂“sustainable”⼀词出现在17世纪早期,当时该词的含义是“bear-able”(可忍受的)或“defensible”(可辩护的或可防御的).直到1965年,“sustainable”⼀词才开始具有我们现在所熟悉的含义:“capable of being continued at a certain level”(在⼀定⽔平上持续的能⼒).作为名词的“sustainability”(可持续性)最早出现于1907年,当时主要是法庭⽤语(譬如,法庭上⼀⽅律师对另⼀⽅律师在陈述时提出反对或抗议的“有效性”,即能否得到法官确认).作为⼀个意指环境、经济和社会3个⽅⾯持续发展的能⼒和趋势的术语,“可持续性”⼀词在1972年最早出现在英国,1974年出现在美国,此后在1978年出现在联合国⽂件中[17].今天,与“可持续”有关的这些术语已成为学2应⽤⽣态学报25卷术界、政策领域及各种媒体的流⾏语.在英⽂⽂献中,“可持续发展”和“可持续性”经常作为同义语使⽤.可持续发展的定义有⼀百多个,但最被⼴泛接受的⽆疑是1987年世界环境与发展委员会(World Commission on Environment and Development,WCED)的定义[16].在题为《我们共同的未来》(Our Common Future)的报告中,WCED⾸次正式地将可持续发展定义为“满⾜当代⼈类的需求⽽不损害⼦孙后代满⾜他们⾃⼰需求的能⼒”;可持续发展同时也是“⼀个资源利⽤、投资取向、技术发展以及政策变化都协调⼀致,不断促进满⾜⼈类现在和将来需求之潜⼒的变化过程”[18].WCED报告进⽽指出,满⾜⼈类基本需要是最重要的;经济发展和资源平等共享是必需的;利益相关者的有效参与能够促进平等;发展是有限度的,须考虑环境的承载⼒;科技⽔平、环境资源特征、管理体制以及社会经济现状均会影响某个地区乃⾄全球的可持续性.1999年,美国国家研究理事会(NationalRe-search Council,NRC)发表了题为《我们共同的旅途:向可持续性过渡》(Our Common Journey:A Transi-tion Toward Sustainability)的报告,讨论了有关可持续发展的各种观点,以及发展和持续两者之间的相互关系[19].NRC报告依循WCED报告的理念,指出可持续发展旨在“实现社会发展⽬标和环境极限的长期协调”16].2002年可持续发展地球峰会发布的《约翰内斯堡可持续发展宣⾔》(Johannesburg De-claration on Sustainable Development;http://www.unescap.org/esd/environment/rio20/pages/Download/ johannesburgdeclaration.pdf)进⼀步阐述了可持续发展的“三⽀柱”(three pillars)或“三重底线”(triple bottom line)概念,即可持续发展要同时考虑环境保护、经济发展和社会平等3个⽅⾯(图1).协调环境、经济和社会之间的相互联系是可持续发展的焦点和难点,⽽理解三者之间关系往往涉及到“强可持续性”(strong sustainability)和“弱可持续性”(weak sustainability)的观点.这两种观点的主要区别在于如何看待⼈造资本(human-made 或manufactured capital)和⾃然资本(natural capital)之间的“可替代性”(substitutability)(图2).具体地讲,强可持续性观点认为,⼈造资本(如机器、⼯具、建筑和基础设施)和⾃然资本(指⾃然资源和⽣态系统)是互补关系,环境的可持续性必须得以保障,以损害环境为代价的经济发展是不可持续的;弱可持续性观点则认为,⼈造资本和⾃然资本之间是互为替代关系,故此,只要总的资本量不减,⼀个环境恶化但经济发达的地区也是“可持续的”[20].显然,从长远的⾓度来看,弱可持续性实际上是不可持续的.⽽强可持续性也并⾮主张极端的“环境保护主义”,它只是强调环境可持续性的重要性和必要性.若没有环境的可持续,实现长期的经济和社会的可持续是不可能的[1,16,20-21].极端的强可持续性观点认为应该杜绝对⽣态系统的开发和利⽤,这显然是不切实际的,因此在⽂献中称之为“荒唐的强可持续性”(absurdly strong sustainability)[1,16,20-21].显然,强、弱图1可持续发展的“三⽀柱”或“三重底线”(环境、经济和社会)概念Fig.1The three-pillar or triple bottom line concept of sustain-ability(environment,economy and society).图2“强可持续性”(A)和“弱可持续性”(B)观点的⽐较Fig.2Comparison between strong sustainability(A)and weak sustainability(B)perspectives.两者的关键不同在于三⽀柱之间的“可取代性”及其极限或阈值The main differences hinge on substitutability among the three pillars and its limits or thresholds.31期邬建国等:什么是可持续性科学?可持续性观点对于如何理解和评估可持续发展有着重要影响.1.2⼈类福祉和⽣态系统服务可持续发展的最终⽬的是提⾼⼈类福祉(hu-man well-being ),即满⾜当代⼈和后代⼈的物质和精神需求.⼈类需求会因社会经济状况、⽂化传统、⽣活⽅式等诸多因素⽽变化.那么,可持续发展应该如何考虑⼈类需求和⼈类福祉呢?美国社会⼼理学家亚伯拉罕·马斯洛(Abraham Maslow )的⼈类需求层次理论(hierarchy of human needs )将⼈类需求划分为6个层次:⽣理需求(physiology )、安全需求(safety and security )、社交需求(love and belong-ing )、尊重需求(esteem )、⾃我实现(self-actualiza-tion )和超越⾃我(self-transcendence )[22-23].马斯洛理论虽然多年来颇有争议,但影响甚⼴[16].马斯洛的层次理论聚焦于个⼈需求,但可持续性科学须考虑的⼈类福祉应注重于群体或⼤众利益.千年⽣态系统评估(Millennium Ecosystem Assessment ,MEA )将⼈类需求综合为5个⽅⾯:基本⽣活材料、⾃由、健康、良好社会关系以及安全保障[24].这⼀观点已经⼴为采纳,并且得以进⼀步发展和完善[16].满⾜⼈类需求必然依赖于⽣态系统服务,即“⼈类从⽣态系统中所获得的利益”[24].尽管有多种⽣态系统服务分类⽅法,⽬前最为⼴泛应⽤的是千年⽣态系统评估中的划分⽅案———即⽣态系统服务包括4类:⽀撑服务(指⽣态系统过程和功能,如⼟壤形成、⽣产⼒和养分循环等)、供给服务(如⾷物、淡⽔、纤维等)、调节服务(如空⽓和⽔的净化、⽓候调节、疾病和⾃然灾害的控制等)和⽂化服务(如游憩、精神滋养、以及其他⾮物质性利益).⽣态系统服务依赖于⽣物多样性和⽣态系统过程和功能,同时受社会、经济和政策等多⽅⾯因素的影响,被普遍认为是连接⾃然资本与⼈类福祉的重要桥梁[25](图3).因此,⽣态系统服务为可持续发展研究提供了⼀个可操作的概念框架,并已经成为该领域的⼀个核⼼论题.2可持续性科学的概念“可持续性科学”⼀词是美国国家研究理事会在1999年题为《我们共同的旅途:向可持续性过图3⽣态系统结构和功能(⾃然资本)、⽣态系统服务和⼈类需求之间的关系———以⼟壤⽣态系统为例Fig.3Relationship among ecosystem structure and function (natural capital ),ecosystem services ,and human well-being :Using soilecosystem as an example.根据Dominati 等[43]修改重绘Redrawn with modifications based on Dominati ,et al [43].4应⽤⽣态学报25卷渡》的报告中⾸次提出的[19].2001年,Kates等[6]在《科学》杂志中撰⽂,第⼀次系统地介绍了这⼀新兴的整合型科学,由此可持续性科学正式问世.《美国国家科学院院刊》(Proceedings of the National Acad-emy of Sciences of the United States of America,PNAS)分别在2003和2007年出版了两期有关可持续性科学的专辑[26-27],为推动该领域的迅速发展起到了积极作⽤.Kates等[6]在2001年将可持续性科学定义为,在局地、区域和全球尺度上研究⾃然和社会之间动态关系的科学,是为可持续发展提供理论基础和技术⼿段的横向科学[7,12,16,28].可持续性科学整合⾃然科学和⼈⽂与社会科学,以环境、经济和社会的相互关系为核⼼,将基础性研究和应⽤研究融为⼀体.⾮线性动⼒学(nonlinear dynamics)、⾃组织复杂性(self-organizing complexity)、脆弱性(vul-nerability)、弹性(resilience)、惯性(inertia)、阈值(threshold)、适应性管理(adaptive management)和社会学习(social learning)是可持续性科学中的重要概念[6-7,16].同时,可持续性科学强调对现有科学技术的创造性利⽤以及发展新型可持续性技术的重要性.综上所述,可持续性科学是研究⼈与环境之间动态关系,特别是耦合系统的脆弱性、抗扰性、弹性和稳定性的整合型科学.Wu[1,4,7-8,16]在⼀系列⽂章中进⼀步阐述了可持续性科学的⼀些特点.他认为,可持续性科学是具有3个主要特征的全新的跨学科范式.⾸先,可持续性科学是⼀个多维度的、穿越传统的⾃然科学和社会科学界线的、集理论和实践为⼀体的科学.其次,可持续性科学中的可持续性具有时、空以及组织结构上的多尺度和等级特征,因此⾃上⽽下(top down)或⾃下⽽上(bottom up)的研究策略⾮但重要,⽽且是必须的.第三,可持续性科学强调地区特点和解决实际问题,其研究对象应该“具有特殊社会、⽂化、⽣态和经济特征”[28],因此,景观和区域应该是可持续性科学研究和实践的关键尺度,或基本空间单元[1,7,16].作为⼀个新的研究领域和范式,可持续性科学是时髦⼀时、过眼云烟?还是地位确⽴、⽇益蓬勃?针对这个问题,Bettencourt和Kaur[11]分析了1974—2010年间发表的有关可持续发展的英⽂⽂章,发现可持续性科学具有4个不同于传统科学的发展特点.第⼀,⾃从1987年世界环境与发展委员会正式定义“可持续发展”之后,相关⽂章呈现爆发式增长(平均8.3年增长1倍,图4);第⼆,从发表⽂章数图4可持续发展研究历程中的重要事件和可持续性科学的形成Fig.4Historic events in sustainable development research and the emergence of sustainability science.根据Bettencourt和Kaur[11]修改重绘Redrawn with modifications from Bettencourt and Kaur[11].量和引⽤频次来看,参与研究可持续性的国家数量众多,不仅包括传统的科学强国(如美国、西欧和⽇本等发达国家),同时也包括⼤量的发展中国家(如中国、巴西、印度、南⾮、⼟⽿其等);第三,传统科学的发展往往局限于较窄的专业领域,⽽可持续性科学涉及的领域甚⼴,其中社会学、⽣物学以及⼯程学是对其发展作出重⼤贡献的3个领域;第四,共同作者数量多,体现了⽐传统科学研究远为⼴泛的作者间的合作(图4).Kates[12]对Bettencourt和Kaur[11]的⼯作给予了肯定,认为“他们作为可持续性科学领域的局外⼈,利⽤⾃⾝的专业技术,深刻揭⽰了可持续性科学与传统科学的区别”.然⽽,尽管我们可以概略地把可持续性科学说成是“研究可持续发展的科学”,凡是有关可持续发展的研究并⾮⼀定是可持续性科学的内容.关于可持续发展的研究⾄少已有40年的历史,其间有⼤量的论⽂以及政府和其他⾮学术组织的报告发表.2000年以前发表的⼤多数有关可持续发展的⽂献缺乏统⼀的概念框架,缺乏系统性和严谨性,缺乏科学规范.因此,这⼀时期的许多可持续发展的研究被视为社会科学或与政府决策有关的实⽤研究,并未受到⾃然科学家的⼴泛重视.⽽在⾃然科学中,与可持续发展研究关系最为密切的包括⽣态学和环境科学.但这两个学科中的所谓可持续发展研究,长期以来只重视⽣态或环境可持续性,对社会和经济可持续性考虑甚少.⽽所谓⽣态或环境可持续性长期以51期邬建国等:什么是可持续性科学?来聚焦于⽣物多样性保护和⽣态系统稳定性.我们在这⼀节开⾸已谈到,直到21世纪初可持续性科学才正式问世,但在短短的⼗⼏年来已经引起了⾃然科学、社会科学、⼈⽂学科各领域的⼴泛关注,其科学框架和理论与⽅法体系正在形成之中.3可持续性科学的主要研究论题如前所述,可持续性科学的研究领域⾮常之⼴,涉及到的学科亦极为庞杂.但是,作为⼀门科学,⽆论交叉学科还是横向学科,都须有其主导性的研究核⼼问题.这⾥,我们根据近年来该领域的⼀系列重要⽂献,归纳并讨论⼀下可持续性科学的主要研究论题.在2001年发表的可持续性科学的奠基之作中,Kates等[6]提出了该领域的7个核⼼论题:1)如何把⾃然和社会之间的动态关系———包括滞后和惯性———更好地整合到正在兴起的地球系统-⼈类发展-可持续性的耦合模式和概念框架之中?2)环境和发展的长期变化趋势———包括消费和⼈⼝———如何改变⾃然和社会之间的相互作⽤,进⽽影响可持续性?3)在不同区域,对于不同的⽣态系统和⼈类⽣计类型,什么在决定⾃然-社会耦合系统的脆弱性(vulnerability)和弹性(resilience)?4)如何科学⽽有效地定义能够预警⾃然-社会系统严重退化的极限条件和边界域值?5)什么样的激励结构系统(systems of incentive structures)———包括市场、政策、规范和科学信息———⽅能最有效地促进将⾃然和社会相互作⽤导⼊可持续轨道的社会能⼒(social capacity)?6)如何将现有的关于环境和社会条件的监测和呈报系统加以整合和扩展,从⽽为向可持续性过渡提供更有效的指导?7)如何将如今相对独⽴的研究规划、监测、评估和决策⽀撑诸项活动更好地整合于适应性管理和社会学习(social learning)的系统之中?2010年,Levin和Clark[29]在Kates等[6]的7个“核⼼”问题的基础上,提出了可持续性科学中的6个“基本”问题:1)⼈类福祉和⾃然环境之间的主要得失权衡(tradeoffs)是什么,⽽这些得失权衡⼜是如何受⼈类利⽤⾃然的⽅式所影响?2)什么在决定⼈与环境耦合系统的适应性,更⼴义地讲,该系统在外部⼲扰和内部变化情况下的脆弱性、抗扰性(或鲁棒性,robustness)和弹性?3)什么在决定⼈与环境之间相互作⽤的长期趋势和演变过程?4)如何构建能更好解释⼈与环境相互作⽤在种类和变化趋势⽅⾯之差异的理论和模型?5)如何才能使社会最有效地引导和管理⼈与环境系统,从⽽使其向可持续性过渡?6)如何有效⽽严谨地评估⼈与环境相互作⽤不同轨迹的“可持续性”?2011年,Kates[12]⼜根据Levin和Clark[29]的论述对2001年提出的7个核⼼论题做了修改,具体内容如下:1)什么在决定⼈与环境耦合系统的长期趋势和演变过程,从⽽主导本世纪的主要变化⽅向?2)什么在决定⼈与环境系统的适应性、脆弱性及弹性?3)如何构建能够更好解释⼈与环境相互作⽤之差异的理论和模型?4)⼈类福祉与⾃然环境之间的主要得失权衡是什么?5)如何科学⽽有效地定义能够为⼈与环境系统预警的极限条件?6)如何才能使社会最有效地引导和管理⼈与环境系统,从⽽使其向可持续性过渡?7)如何评估环境和发展的不同途径的“可持续性”?⽐较⼀下以上的3个版本不难看出,Levin和Clark[29]所提出的6个基本问题与Kates等[6]提出的7个论题其实相似,但不尽相同.⾸先,Levin和Clark[29]的第2、3、4、5和6基本问题分别对应于Kates等[6]的第3、2、1、5+6和7核⼼论题,但两者间有⼀重要区别;那就是前者增加了⼈类福祉与⾃然环境之间的主要得失权衡⼀项.确实,⼈与环境之间、⽣态系统服务和⼈类福祉之间、以及不同⽣态系统服务之间的得失权衡是近些年来⽣态学、环境科学和可持续性科学研究的⼀⼤热点.第⼆,Levin和Clark[29]⽤⼈与环境(耦合)系统取代了⾃然-社会(耦合)系统.当今世界,没有⼈为⼲扰的“⾃然”实在罕见;即使在⽣态学中,何为⾃然争议颇多,从未有定论.因此,在探讨可持续性科学问题时,⼈与环境系统⽐⾃然-社会系统更适当.第三,Levin与Clark[29]似乎将“预警”极限和边界阈值⼀条有意删除.当然,在研究⼈与环境系统的脆弱性、抗扰性和弹性时,不6应⽤⽣态学报25卷可避免地要涉及到极限和边界阈值的概念.Kates[12]在2011年修改后的7个核⼼论题,是对Kates等[6]2001版的7个论题和Levin和Clark[29]2010年提出的6个基本问题的整合.除了在排列顺序和措辞上有所不同,Kates[12](2011)的7个核⼼论题中的6个(1、2、3、4、6、7)和Levin和Clark[29]所提的6个基本问题基本等同.显然,⼈与环境系统取代了⾃然-社会系统.更重要的是,Kates[12]增加了⼈类福祉与⾃然环境之间的主要得失权衡,⽽将其2001年版中激励结构系统和监测和呈报系统加以合并,统称为引导和管理⼈与环境系统,从⽽使其向可持续性过渡的社会能⼒.此外,他仍然将确定系统预警的极限和阈值作为⼀个核⼼论题单独列出.综上所述,Kates[12]在2011年的修改版是对⽬前可持续性科学主要研究论题最完整和最权威的概括.4可持续性定量评估⽅法如何定量地评估“可持续性”显然是可持续性科学研究中的⼀个重要环节[13,30-31].可持续性定量评估⽅法的研究和应⽤在可持续性科学正式出现之前就已经开始.1992年在巴西⾥约热内卢召开的第⼀届地球峰会上通过了《21世纪议程》(Agenda21;http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/docu-ments/Agenda21.pdf),呼吁构建可持续发展评估⽅法.随后,⼀系列的国际组织、政府部门和学术团体及许多科学家⼀直在积极推进可持续发展评估的研究和应⽤,涌现出多种评估⽅法和分类标准,已经发表的⽂献可谓海量.泛阅取优,Ness等[31]依据3个标准———时间特征(回溯/历史性的或前瞻/预测性的)、研究焦点(如针对产品的、政策的或某⼀区域的)和整合程度(即是否同时考虑⾃然、社会和经济3个⽅⾯)———将可持续发展评估⽅法⼤致分为3类:指标(indicator)和指数(index)、基于产品的评估⽅法(product-related assessment methods)和往往涉及到动态模型的综合性评估⽅法(integrated assess-ment methods)(图5).其中,可持续性指标和指数以及可持续性动态模型尤为重要.前者在数学上较为简单,已经⼴为使⽤;后者可以模拟系统过程和功能,有助于理解、预测和调控⼈与环境耦合系统的⾏为.由于篇幅有限,我们在这⾥只作⼀概述.4.1可持续发展指数和指标体系可持续性指标框架是基于可持续发展原理,指导指标选择、发展和整合的概念构架[13].常见的可持续性指标框架包括:1)压⼒-状态-响应框架(pres-sure-state-response framework,PSR)、基于主题的框架(theme-based framework)、基于资本的框架(cap-ital-based framework)、综合核算框架(integrated ac-counting framework)以及包容性财富框架(inclusive wealth framework)[13,32-34].⽐较⼴泛应⽤的综合性可持续性指标包括:⽣态⾜迹(ecological footprint,EF)、绿⾊GDP、⼈类发展指数(human development index,HDI)、幸福星球指数(happy planet index,HPI)、真实进步指标(gen-uine progressindicator,GPI)、可持续经济福利指数(index of sustainable economic welfare,ISEW;与GPI 基本相同)、环境绩效指数(environmental perform-ance index,EPI;其前⾝为环境可持续指数,environ-mental sustainability index,ESI)以及包容性财富指数(inclusive wealth index,IWI).这些指数在这⾥只是简单提及,⼤量⽂献对其有详尽描述[13].这些综合指数往往包含代表环境、经济和社会诸⽅⾯的多个指标,经过加权和聚合最终获得⼀个衡量可持续性的总值.然⽽,在应⽤可持续性指标体系时,则不需要将所有指标聚合成⼀个指数.采⽤多个指标分别度量可持续性的各个维度和具体⽅⾯有时更为必要,更容易理解.影响较为⼴泛的可持续发展指标体系包括联合国千年发展⽬标指标体系(Millennium Development Goals Indicators;http://mdgs.un.org/ unsd/mdg/Default.aspx)和联合国可持续发展委员会指标体系(United Nations Commission on Sustain-able Development Indicators)[34].值得⼀提的是,我国在可持续发展指标体系的发展和应⽤⽅⾯做了⼤量⼯作[15,35-37].譬如,中国科学院可持续发展战略研究组设计了⼀套“五级叠加,逐层收敛,规范权重,统⼀排序”的可持续发展指标体系[37].该指标体系分为总体层、系统层、状态层、变量层和要素层5个等级.总体层表达可持续发展的综合能⼒;系统层包括具有内部逻辑关系的5⼤⽀持系统:⽣存⽀持系统、发展⽀持系统、环境⽀持系统、社会⽀持系统和智⼒⽀持系统;状态层从不同⾓度表现某⼀系统的静态或。

• Why?
– “How can the contribution of S&T to sustainability be improved?”
• What?
– Conduct dialogues among the science, policy and development communities: Abuja, Chiang Mai, Santiago, Trieste, Ottawa, Bonn, Mexico City and at
– Water, Energy, Health, Agriculture, Biodiversity
The role of Science and Technology
• Growing recognition that development "is built not merely through the accumulation of physical capital and human skill, but on a foundation of information, learning and adaptation…” (World Bank, 1999)… • Historically high rates of return on investment in S&T
• Conclude…
– Many kind words for S&T… But realization that contributions remain far below what’s possible and needed. – If science is so useful, why don’t we invest in more of it?
Initiative on Science and Technology for Sustainability
• Who?
– independent scientists, development workers from around world – gathered within the context of the World Summit on SD to ask…
Strategic approach needed to better mobilize S&T for sustainability
•iven by priorities of the S&T community – not confined to merely illuminating social problems
– “the dominant engine of economic growth” (Solow) – eg. marginal rates in agriculture >40%
• But relevant knowledge remains underproduced, underutilized, unevenly distributed (UNDP)
– UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, in his Millennium Report to the General Assembly
Goals for a sustainability transition
• To feed, nurture, house, educate and employ the world’s slowing but still growing human population, while • Conserving earth’s basic life support systems and biodiversity and • Reducing hunger and poverty. • Specific challenges in the “WEHAB” areas
Science and Technology for Sustainable Development: Strategic perspectives from an international dialogue
William C. Clark Professor of International Science, Public Policy and Human Development Center for Science and International Affairs John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University (william_clark@)
– Private investments lag because of large public spillovers, property rights issues… – Public investments static or falling due to perceived irrelevance, inefficiency of results.
• “Co-production” of usable knowledge
– through collaboration of users and producers “in place” – drawing on global research and innovation systems
Sustainability in Context…
“Freedom from want, freedom from fear, and the freedom of future generations to sustain their lives on this planet” are the 3 grand global challenges for the 21st Century
