Workshop: Exchanging Cyber-Infrastructure Themes in Engineering Design

该奖项旨在为“交流工程设计中的网络基础设施主题”工作坊提供支持，该工作坊将把来自不同学科(机械、土木、材料、工业)的工程设计研究人员与信息技术研究人员聚集在一起，探讨如何支持和支持网络基础设施企业实现可预测的产品。工作坊的目标有三个：1)在工程设计界内找出与资讯科技有关的研究主题；2)在工程设计界内以及教育设计界研究人员与其他学科之间建立关系；3)促进与潜在的业界发展商和数码基建用户的互动。工作坊将于2005年2月28日至3月1日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行，为期一天半。与组委会一起参加的人数限制为30人。申请者将提交一份声明，指出他们认为目前无法用当今的计算能力解决的关键问题，组委会将根据这些声明选择参与者。此次研讨会预计将对跨工程学科的工程设计产生广泛影响，通过确定研究需求，为未来预测性产品和系统实现提供基础工具。讲习班的结论和建议将在网上和在专业会议上提交给国家科学基金会和更广泛的社区的白皮书中传播。

This award is to provide support for a workshop "Exchanging Cyber-Infrastructure Themes in Engineering Design" that will bring researchers in engineering design from different disciplines (mechanical, civil, materials, industrial) together with information technology researchers to explore how predictive product realization can be supported by and provide support to the cyberinfrastructure enterprise. The objectives of the workshop are threefold: 1) identify CI-related research themes within the engineering design (ED) community; 2) build relationships within ED and between ED researchers and other disciplines; and 3) foster interactions with potential industry developers and users of the cyberinfrastructure.The workshop will be a 1-1/2 day workshop held in Arlington, VA February 28 - March 1, 2005. Participation will be limited to 30 attendees along with the organizing committee. Applicants will submit a statement identifying what they believe to be key issues that cannot currently be solved with today's computing capabilities and participants will be selected by the organizing committee based upon these statements.This workshop is expected to have broad impacts for engineering design across the engineering disciplines, through the identification of research needs to provide the foundational tools for future predictive product and system realization. Findings and recommendations of the workshop will be disseminated both on the web and through white papers presented to NSF and to the broader community at professional meetings.
