Workshop on Exploratory Research on Engineering the Transport Industries (ETI)

提案号：CMS-0129550 PI：毕业院校：弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学7月6日2001本次研讨会汇集了由美国国家科学基金会在2000年ETI计划下资助的30个获奖团队，讨论和传播探索成果研究。这项研究的目标是现代服务业中广泛的复杂工程系统：那些运输人员、货物、能源和信息的系统，包括高速公路、铁路、航空运输、航运、天然气、燃料和水的分配管道、配电网、通信网络和互联网。该研讨会定于2001年8月13日至14日在华盛顿特区举行，其目的还在于培养参与者之间的社区意识，从而促进属于不同工程领域的思想的交流。

ABSTRACT Proposat #: CMS-0129550 PI: Arun Phadke Institution: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Date: July 6, 2001 This workshop brings together 30 teams of awardees funded by NSF under the 2000 ETI initiative to discuss and disseminate the results of the exploratory research. The research targeted a broad class of complex engineering systems in the modern service industry: those that transport of people, goods, energy, and information, including highways, railways, air transport, shipping, gas-, fuel-, and water distribution pipelines, power distribution grids, communications networks and the Internet. The workshop, scheduled for August 13-14, 2001 in Washington, DC, is also intended to foster a sense of community among the participants which would lead to cross-fertilization of ideas belonging to the different fields of engineering.
