U.S.-United Kingdom Cooperative Workshops on Ocean Engineering & Research; October 28-30, 1990, Boca Raton, Florida

国际合作研究对于激发研究计划创意以及分担成本和研究成果非常有益。 此外，避免了重复研究，节省了时间和金钱。 1989年12月在英国举行的一次会议上，英国技术工业部和美国国家科学基金会的代表表示了双方在海洋工程方面开展合作研究项目的浓厚兴趣。 在选定的研究领域举办的研讨会将产生这些海洋工程领域的合作提案。 可能合作的主题领域包括自主水下航行器和海底机器人技术。 建议1990年春天在美国佛罗里达大西洋大学举办一次研讨会。研讨会为期四天，外加一两天的教师访问。 关于选定主题的受邀论文将在研讨会的第一天发表。

International cooperative research is very beneficial in the stimulation of research program ideas as well as in the sharing of costs and research results. In addition, duplication of research is avoided, saving time and money. A meeting held in December 1989 in England, between representatives of the Department of Technology and Industry in the United Kingdom and the National Science Foundation indicated a strong interest on both sides to conduct cooperative research projects in ocean engineering. Workshops conducted in selected research areas would then lead to cooperative proposals in these ocean engineering areas. The subject area for possible cooperation include, Autonomous underwater vehicles and subsea robotics technology. It is proposed that a workshop be held at Florida Atlantic University in the United States in the Spring of 1990. The workshop will be four days long plus one or two days for faculty visits. Invited papers on selected topics would be presented on the first day of the workshop.
