9312908 Trivedi The American computer industry is affected by a lack of synergism between the different phases of software design such as specification, manufacturability, performance, reliability, and cost assessment. An Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Computer Engineering System Research at Duke University could provide a better mechanism to advance the development and application of basic research in the area of high performance, dependable hardware, and software system for applications such as real-time system, local and wide area networks, manufacturing systems, flight-control systems, and command and control systems. A planning meeting will study if industry will support an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Computer Engineering System Research at Duke University. The meeting will address industry interest and determine if the Center has sufficient support and merit to meet the Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers Program criteria. The proposed research projects will address: 1) Formal methods in system engineering; 2) design principle of dependable and high performance distributed systems and networks; 3) use of artificial neural networks to solve complex design and scheduling problems; and 4) statistical methodologies in software quality, reliability, and safety. The Principle Investigator is recognized as an eminent researcher and has the resource for this planning meeting. This project has been coordinated and cost-shared with Dr. Bruce Barnes, Deputy Director of the Division of Computer and Computation Research at the National Science Foundation. The Program Manager recommends Duke University be awarded $50,000 for 6 months for this planning meeting. ***

美国计算机行业受到软件设计不同阶段（如规格、可制造性、性能、可靠性和成本评估）之间缺乏协同作用的影响。杜克大学计算机工程系统研究的产学研合作研究中心可以提供一个更好的机制来推进高性能、可靠的硬件和软件系统领域的基础研究的发展和应用，这些应用包括实时系统、局域和广域网、制造系统、飞行控制系统和指挥控制系统。计划会议将研究工业界是否会支持杜克大学计算机工程系统研究的产学研合作研究中心。会议将讨论工业界的兴趣，并确定该中心是否有足够的支持和优点来满足工业/大学合作研究中心计划的标准。建议的研究项目将涉及：1)系统工程中的形式化方法；2)可靠、高性能分布式系统和网络的设计原则；3)利用人工神经网络解决复杂的设计和调度问题；4)软件质量、可靠性和安全性的统计方法。首席研究员是公认的杰出研究员，并为本次计划会议提供资源。该项目由美国国家科学基金会计算机与计算研究部副主任Bruce Barnes博士协调并分担费用。项目经理建议杜克大学为这次计划会议提供6个月5万美元的奖励。＊＊＊
