Workshop: Advanced Manufacturing Workshop; Arlington, VA; Spring 2006

世界技术评估中心(WTEC)将组织一项关于先进制造的元研究，包括一个研讨会，为全面的制造、服务和设计研究社区制定研究议程。这一元研讨会的结果可以被描述为基于一系列关于先进制造主题的十多项研究的结果、建议和总体结论的综合。这项研究将为国家科学基金会和其他机构进行。研讨会的主要目标是就先进制造业研究的最高优先需求向研究界提供指导，建立一个将满足这些需求的多学科研究人员社区，并提供社区指导，以帮助形成这一领域未来的NSF规划方向。世贸组织将从以前的讲习班和研究中招募杰出的专家来开展这项活动。研讨会主持人(S)将负责对公共研讨会进行实质性指导和领导。WTEC将为研讨会的后勤提供支持(例如，与会者的差旅支持、会议设施、研讨会讲义等)。以及编辑、制作和分发研讨会的最终报告。智力优势：研讨会的许多演讲者曾担任WTEC国际评估小组在先进制造的各个方面的主席或专家。他们被公认为该领域的领导者。该领域的其他专家也将应邀提交论文或以其他方式参加讲习班。WTEC已经成功地组织了60多个这样的评估项目，展示了它的智力优势。广泛的影响：研讨会制定的研究议程将有助于指导国家在这一具有全球竞争力的美国制造业的国家利益主题上的研究计划。

The World Technologies Evaluation Center (WTEC) will organize a meta-study for advanced manufacturing including a workshop to develop a research agenda for the comprehensive manufacturing, service and design research communities. This outcomes from this meta-workshop can be characterized as a synthesis of findings, recommendations, and overarching conclusions based on a series of more than ten studies of advanced manufacturing topics. This study will be conducted for the National Science Foundation and other agencies. The main objectives of the workshop are to provide guidance to the research community on what the highest priority needs are for research in advanced manufacturing, to build a multidisciplinary community of researchers who will address those needs, and to provide community guidance to help shape future NSF programmatic directions in this area. WTEC will recruit distinguished experts from the previous workshops and studies to conduct this activity. The workshop chair(s) will be responsible for substantive guidance and leadership of the public workshop. WTEC will provide support for workshop logistics (e.g., travel support for participants, meetings facilities, workshop handouts, etc.) and for editing, production, and dissemination of the workshop final report. Intellectual merit: Many of the workshop speakers have served as chairs or experts of WTEC international assessment panels in various aspects of advanced manufacturing. They are recognized as leaders in the field. Other experts in the field will also be invited to present papers and otherwise participate in the workshop. WTEC has demonstrated its intellectual merit by successfully organizing over 60 such evaluation projects.Broader impacts: The research agenda developed by the workshop will contribute to guiding the nation's research program in this topic of national interest for globally competitive US manufacturing.
