Joint U.S.-China Workshop on Integrated Sensing Systems, Mechatronics and Smart Structures Technologies; September 19-21, 2005; Shandong Province, China

美国-中国联合研讨会将在中国济南举行，主题为集成传感系统、机电一体化和智能结构技术，其目标是：(A)评估美国和中国在这些主题领域的研究和教育现状，(B)确定共同感兴趣的关键和战略研究和教育问题，(C)确定联合研究项目和潜在的研究团队，以便开展合作研究活动，以及(D)确定研究数据、实验试验台和研究人员可以为联合研究项目共享的资源。该项目的学术价值体现在确定美国和中国在先进传感系统、机电一体化和智能结构技术领域共同感兴趣的高影响力研究问题，以及加强美国和中国开展联合合作研究以解决这些研究问题的网络，以造福于两国的研究界和公众。该讲习班旨在通过研究和教育方面的国际合作，在航空航天、民用和机械系统的综合传感器系统、机电一体化和智能结构技术领域产生广泛影响。讲习班将邀请并尽一切努力纳入年轻和任职人数不足的研究人员群体的参与，以加强代表的多样性和他们对科学活动的参与。

Abstract0537531Masayoshi TomizukaUC BerkeleyThe objectives of the Joint U.S.-China workshop to be held in Jinan, China, on Integrated Sensing Systems, Mechatronics and Smart Structures Technologies are: (a) to evaluate the current status of research and education in the topic areas in the United States and China, (b) identify critical and strategic research and educational issues of mutual interest, (c) identify joint research projects and potential research teams for collaborative research activities, and (d) identify the research data, experimental test beds, and resources that can be shared by the researchers for joint research projects. The intellectual merits of this project are embedded in the identification of high impact research issues of mutual interest to the U.S. and China in the area of advanced sensing systems, mechatronics and smart structures technologies, and in strengthening the U.S.-China network for conducting joint collaborative studies to address these research issues for the benefit of the research community and general public in the two countries. The workshop is designed to have a broad impact in the areas of integrated sensor systems, mechatronics and smart structure technologies for aerospace, civil and mechanical systems through international collaborations both in terms of research and education. The workshop will invite, and make every effort to include, the participation of young and underrepresented groups of researchers to enhance the diversity of representation and their involvement in scientific activities.
