Workshop on Nanoscale Systems, Dynamics and Control; June 3, 2003; Denver, CO

研讨会的目的是汇聚来自许多不同学科的领先研究人员，以应对当前趋势，挑战悬而未决的问题，并将纳米尺度系统、动力学和控制作为一个新的新兴领域的应用。纳米技术旨在控制分子和纳米尺度的材料和过程，已成为本世纪的关键技术之一。科学家和工程师专注于解决基础和技术问题，基于系统的研究还很不成熟。纳米级系统的建模、设计、集成和控制在从纳米制造、微/纳米机器人和材料表征到生物技术、信息技术和医疗应用设备的设计和控制等一系列应用中都是至关重要的。不同专业领域的受邀演讲者将介绍该领域的最新问题、成就和开放的挑战，包括扫描探针显微镜动力学和控制、纳米制造系统监测和控制、纳米机器人学、纳米系统集成、纳米操纵和纳米组装、生物纳米系统、控制和导向自组装、纳米定位系统和控制、仿生和智能纳米系统和结构、纳米物理、纳米动力学和系统的建模、纳米系统在生物学、医学、信息技术、材料等领域的新应用、使用纳米探针的硬盘存储系统、纳米机器人的高级人机用户界面研讨会结束后，将向国家科学基金会提交一份最终报告，该报告可用于确定当前状况、开放的研究挑战、资助指导方针、可能的举措等，如在尺度系统、动力学和控制领域。

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together leading researchers from many differentdisciplines in the current trend, challenging unsolved problems, and applications of nanoscalesystems, dynamics and control as a new emerging field. Nanotechnology which is aimed tocontrol the materials and processes at the molecular and nanoscales has become one of the criticaltechnologies of this century. Scientists and engineers are focused on solving basic andtechnological problems, and system based research is still very immature. Modeling, design,integration, and control of nanoscale systems is of vital importance in a host of applicationsranging from nanomanufacturing, micro/nanorobotics, and material characterization, to the designand control of devices for biotechnology, information technology, and medical applications. Theworkshop will address both the state of the art and future directions of the field with veryinterdisciplinary presenters and audience.Invited speakers with different areas of specialty would introduce the state-of-the-art issues,achievements and open challenges in their topics which include scanning probe microscopedynamics and control, nanomanufacturing system monitoring and control, nanorobotics,nanoscale system integration, nanomanipulation and nanoassembly, bionanosystems, controllingand directing self-assembly, nanopositioning systems and control, biomimetic and smartnanoscale systems and structures, nanoscale physics, modeling of nanoscale dynamics andsystems, novel nanoscale system applications in biology, medicine, information technology,materials, etc., hard disk storage systems using nanoprobes, advanced man-machine userinterfaces for nanorobots, and etc.A final report after the workshop will be submitted to the NSF which could be used for definingcurrent status, open research challenges, funding guidelines, possible initiatives, etc. in thenanoscale systems, dynamics and control area.
