The next generation of engineered systems and enabling materials are desired to have bio-mimetic attributes such as thinking, self organizing, self healing, self powered, multifunctional and reconfigurable, on demand information-to-knowledge conversion, application specificity, etc. Novel sensing capabilities are required to achieve highly sophisticated actuation and system control functions. To deliver such diverse attributes to today's device and system platform, advancements in micro and nanotechnology area are essential and timely. NSF Review Criterion 1-Intellectual Merit of the Proposed Activity: Innovations in micro and nanotechnology are essential to develop the devices, enabling materials and advanced systems, which can foresee and anticipate the important events rather than providing merely an after-event diagnosis. In the context, of the above subject it is imperative that the "discoveries and innovations in micro and nano technologies for sensing" need to be shared and discussed by eminent scientists and engineers on the international dais due to complexity and wide range applicability of the subject. Hence, the objective of this proposal is to call for such a focused workshop in conjunction with a large conference on "Smart Materials, Nano- and Micro- Smart Systems" sponsored by SPIE (http://spie.org/info/au) in Melbourne, Australia. The goal is to invite leading researchers in the related areas from America, Australia, and Japan to discuss and develop the subject through presentations and panel discussions, which will lead to further findings, recommendations and focused research programs/linkages between research groups on an international level. NSF Review Criterion 2- Broader Impacts of the proposed activity: The economy of several countries depends on the synergy between various technologies via the important common features of "sensing" techniques, "sensing" devices and "sensor" control systems. Principal research funding agencies such as National Science Foundation in USA, Australian research Council in Australia and Japanese Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) in Japan can play an important role of enabler to bring American, Australian and Japanese teams of researchers together to provide an impetus to the advancement of sensing technologies to build integrated micro- nano- and macro systems. It is proposed to invite about 20 specialists from USA, about 15 from Japan and about 10 from Australia to participate in this workshop dedicated to novel and practical "sensing" applications. The efforts of a PI from USA and two co-PI's from Australia and Japan are being put together to plan and execute this project of international importance and relevance. The outcome of the workshop will be a detailed report and a book to be published by a leading publisher in USA. Attendance by industry champions may lead to collaborative projects to commercialize novel products.

下一代工程系统和使能材料需要具有生物仿生属性，如思维、自组织、自修复、自供电、多功能和可重构、按需信息到知识的转换、应用专用性等。需要新颖的传感能力来实现高度复杂的驱动和系统控制功能。要为今天的设备和系统平台提供如此多样化的属性，微和纳米技术领域的进步是必要的和及时的。NSF审查标准1-拟议活动的智力价值：微和纳米技术的创新对于开发设备、使能材料和先进系统至关重要，这些设备可以预见和预期重要事件，而不仅仅是提供事后诊断。在上述主题的背景下，由于该主题的复杂性和广泛适用性，“用于传感的微纳技术方面的发现和创新”需要由国际舞台上的知名科学家和工程师分享和讨论。因此，这项提议的目标是呼吁在澳大利亚墨尔本举行由SPIE(http://spie.org/info/au))主办的关于“智能材料、纳米和微型智能系统”的大型会议的同时，举办这样一个有重点的研讨会。目标是邀请来自美国、澳大利亚和日本的相关领域的领先研究人员通过演讲和小组讨论来讨论和发展这一主题，这将导致进一步的发现、建议和研究小组之间在国际层面上的重点研究计划/联系。NSF审查标准2--拟议活动的更广泛影响：几个国家的经济依赖于各种技术之间的协同作用，通过“传感”技术、“传感”装置和“传感器”控制系统等重要的共同特征。美国的国家科学基金会、澳大利亚的澳大利亚研究委员会和日本的日本科学促进会等主要研究资助机构可以发挥重要的推动作用，将美国、澳大利亚和日本的研究团队聚集在一起，推动传感技术的进步，建立集成的微纳和宏观系统。建议邀请来自美国的约20名专家、日本的约15名专家和澳大利亚的约10名专家参加这一致力于新颖和实用的“传感”应用的研讨会。来自美国的一名私人投资者和来自澳大利亚和日本的两名合作私人投资者正在共同努力，以计划和执行这一具有国际重要性和相关性的项目。研讨会的成果将是一份详细的报告和一本将由美国一家主要出版商出版的书。行业冠军的出席可能会导致合作项目，将新产品商业化。
