National Science Foundation - Division of Design and Manufacturing Systems Grantees Conference; Charlotte, North Carolina; January 6-8, 1993

该奖项是为了指导设计和制造系统司的年度受赠人会议。通过鼓励该司、工程研究中心司和计算机信息科学和工程局的一些受赠方之间的互动，这次会议确保研究人员个人了解其同事正在开展的活动。可以消除他们的重复工作，这项活动可能会带来一定程度的合作。预计研究活动的效率将全面提高。此外，会议项目组织允许有充足的时间在会议上与集体研究社区详细讨论制造业研究，并得到国家科学基金会的反馈和投入。最后，与各司的受赠人和方案干事的个人接触应有助于澄清他们工作中的许多当前问题。出席会议的主要调查员通常在传播的信息方面领先一到两年；这是在会议上提交的材料在期刊和其他文献上发表的通常时间框架。

This award is to conduct the annual grantees conference of the Division of Design and Manufacturing Systems. By encouraging interaction between the grantees of this Division, the Engineering Research Centers Division and some of the grantees of the Computer Information Science and Engineering Directorate, this conference ensures that the individual researchers are informed about the ongoing activities of their colleagues. An elimination of duplication of their efforts may be achieved and a degree of cooperation may result from this activity. An overall improvement of efficiency of the research activity could be expected. In addition, the conference program organization allows for ample time to discuss manufacturing research in detail with the collective research community at the meeting, with feedback and input from the National Science Foundation. Finally, personal contacts with the grantees and program officers in the Divisions should contribute to clarifying many current problems in their work. Principal investigators attending the conference usually gain a one to two year lead on the information disseminated; this is the usual time frame for materials presented at the conference to be published in journals and other literature.
