Integrated Manufacturing Technology Initiative Workshops

这笔赠款的目的是为一系列讲习班提供支持，这些讲习班旨在重点关注关键的制造技术挑战，并促进政府机构、工业界和企业之间的合作活动。 NSF将与国防部、国家航空航天局、商务部、能源部和工业部门一起为研讨会提供支持。 讲习班将讨论的主题包括：共享知识库和学习系统;基于知识的设计;一体化、可互操作的企业，特别是基于网络的企业;基于科学的制造建模和模拟;新兴制造技术和流程;网络化制造;以及智能控制。 研讨会将邀请来自所有制造业领域的广泛代表，以制定一套全面的目标和要求，用于集中制造业研究和开发。如果成功，该项目将促进政府、工业和企业之间的合作，并将为联邦参与制造业研究和开发提供重点。

The objective of this grant is to provide support for a series of workshops aimed at bringing focus to critical manufacturing technology challenges and fostering cooperative activity between government agencies, industry and academe. Support for the workshops will be provided by NSF together with the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Energy, and industry. The workshops will address topics including shared knowledge repositories and learning systems; knowledge-based design; integrated, interoperable enterprises, especially web-based; science-based modeling and simulation for manufacturing; emerging manufacturing technologies and processes; web-enabled manufacturing; and intelligent controls. The workshops will invite broad representation from all manufacturing domains to develop a comprehensive suite of goals and requirements for use in focusing manufacturing research and development.If successful, this project will foster cooperation among government, industry and academe, and it will provide focus for Federal participation in manufacturing research and development.
