University of Maryland, in partnership with various academic institutions and industry, will organize a workshop to identify the fundamental research needed for realizing nano-technology products. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has also expressed interest in participating in the planning and conduct of this workshop. The findings of this workshop will be useful for developing a Nano-technology Product Realization Road Map, which will enable the community to bridge the gap between nano- science concepts in the laboratory and viable nano-technology products for sustainable and affordable commerce. Product development requires not just novel nano-science concepts (which are receiving extensive attention across many research centers), but equally importantly, enabling disciplines and relevant infrastructure. Examples of enabling disciplines include modeling and simulation approaches needed for design automation of nano-engineered products, scaling of synthesis and fabrications methods needed for large-scale nano-manufacturing processes, and metrology needed for nano- scale characterization. While these disciplines are well developed for conventional technologies, the unique needs of nano-technology can only be addressed through fundamental new advances and new infrastructure. Workshop participants will include mechanical, systems, industrial, chemical, materials and electrical engineers involved in all of the above aspects of nano-technology. Several recent nano-technology workshops have identified the urgent need for broad-based pervasive research programs that address the infrastructure needed for nano-engineered product realization. The consensus in all of these workshops was that rapid developments in the nano-scale sciences has spurred significant interest in bringing nano- engineered products to the marketplace, but that the enabling technologies and relevant infrastructure needed to bring the nano-product concepts to fruition are sorely lacking. Robust design tools built on clear understanding of material behavior and failure physics are essential if the nano-technology industry is to become a large-scale commercial reality. So are quality, consistency, and reproducibility in high-volume manufacturing process. The third critical engineering enabler is nano-scale metrology for characterization of materials, processes, and products. Together, these three enablers will form the critical infrastructural tripod necessary to achieve and sustain affordable nano- technology commerce. The intellectual merit of this proposed workshop rests in the new research roadmap that will be developed for fundamental research in each of these three enabling disciplines. The broader impact will be realized from the integration of these roadmaps to benefit nano-technology, and the resulting educational roadmap that will be developed in the proposed workshop. The workshop is scheduled for late fall of 2003, after the ASME IMECE conference in Washington DC. The workshop will be hosted at the University of Maryland. Sessions on nano-scale design methodologies, nano-manufacturing processes, and nano-metrology will be organized and facilitated by academic, industrial and government collaborators in this workshop, potentially including NIST.

马里兰州大学将与各学术机构和工业界合作，组织一次讲习班，以确定实现纳米技术产品所需的基础研究。美国国家标准与技术研究所（NIST）也表示有兴趣参与该研讨会的规划和举办。 这次研讨会的结果将有助于制定纳米技术产品实现路线图，这将使社区能够弥合实验室中的纳米科学概念与可持续和负担得起的商业可行纳米技术产品之间的差距。产品开发不仅需要新颖的纳米科学概念（这在许多研究中心受到广泛关注），而且同样重要的是，支持学科和相关基础设施。使能学科的示例包括纳米工程产品的设计自动化所需的建模和仿真方法、大规模纳米制造过程所需的合成和制造方法的缩放以及纳米尺度表征所需的计量学。虽然这些学科在传统技术方面发展得很好，但纳米技术的独特需求只能通过基本的新进展和新的基础设施来解决。研讨会的参与者将包括机械，系统，工业，化学，材料和电气工程师参与纳米技术的所有上述方面。 最近的几个纳米技术研讨会已经确定了迫切需要广泛的普及研究计划，解决纳米工程产品实现所需的基础设施。所有这些研讨会的共识是，纳米科学的迅速发展激发了人们对将纳米工程产品推向市场的极大兴趣，但使纳米产品概念成为现实所需的使能技术和相关基础设施严重缺乏。如果纳米技术产业要成为大规模的商业现实，那么建立在对材料行为和失效物理学的清晰理解基础上的强大设计工具是必不可少的。大批量生产过程中的质量、一致性和再现性也是如此。第三个关键的工程使能器是用于材料、工艺和产品表征的纳米尺度计量学。这三个推动因素将共同构成实现和维持可负担得起的纳米技术商业所必需的关键基础设施三脚架。本次研讨会的学术价值在于新的研究路线图，该路线图将为这三个使能学科中的每一个学科的基础研究开发。更广泛的影响将从这些路线图的整合中实现，以使纳米技术受益，并将在拟议的研讨会上制定由此产生的教育路线图。 研讨会定于2003年秋季末在华盛顿召开的ASME IMECE会议之后举行。讲习班将在马里兰州大学举行。在这次研讨会上，学术界、工业界和政府合作者（可能包括NIST）将组织和促进纳米尺度设计方法、纳米制造工艺和纳米计量学方面的会议。
