0941547GershenfeldThis award supports a joint US?India workshop, to be held August 2009 in Pune, on distributed development of the principles and applications of digital fabrication. Professor Neil Gershenfeld, Director of the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms is the lead investigator and co-organizer of the workshop with Indian host, Dr. Debabrata Goswami, Department of Chemistry & Centre for Laser Technology, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-K). The study of digital fabrication is analogous to the earlier digitization of communication and computation, bringing the programmability of the digital world to the physical world through programmed assembly of functional systems. The intersection of digital computing, communications, and fabrication, in turn means that large numbers of small labs can collectively tackle research problems that were once limited to fewer elite institutions. This workshop will seek to develop research proposals for grand-challenge projects that can be addressed in this way, possibly offering broader participation, better local integration, and greater efficiency. Prospective topics include the printing of functional systems, analytical instrumentation for healthcare and the environment, community IT infrastructure, assistive medical technologies, energy conversion, remote sensing, and educational infrastructure.The workshop will be held in conjunction with FAB5, the Fifth International Fab Lab Forum and Symposium on Digital Fabrication, in Pune, India, August 17-21. This is a global gathering of both research and community participants in the fab lab network, which grew from an NSF-supported outreach program of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms.

0941547 Gershenkan该奖项支持联合美国？印度讲习班，将于2009年8月在浦那举行，关于数字制造原则和应用的分布式发展。 麻省理工学院比特和原子中心主任Neil Gershenfeld教授是研讨会的首席研究员和共同组织者，印度东道主，坎普尔印度理工学院激光技术化学中心的Debabrata Goswami博士（IIT-K）。 数字制造的研究类似于通信和计算的早期数字化，通过功能系统的编程组装将数字世界的可编程性带到物理世界。数字计算，通信和制造的交叉反过来意味着大量的小型实验室可以共同解决曾经仅限于少数精英机构的研究问题。该研讨会将寻求为可以以这种方式解决的重大挑战项目制定研究建议，可能提供更广泛的参与，更好的地方融合和更高的效率。研讨会将于8月17日至21日在印度浦那举行，届时将与第五届国际Fab Lab论坛和数字制造研讨会（FAB 5）同期举行。研讨会的主题包括功能系统的打印、医疗和环境分析仪器、社区IT基础设施、辅助医疗技术、能源转换、遥感和教育基础设施。这是晶圆厂实验室网络的研究和社区参与者的全球聚会，该网络来自麻省理工学院比特和原子中心的NSF支持的推广计划。
