Workshop Micro- and Nanosystems Horizon 2040, held on June 21, 2009, Denver, CO.

目的：这项工作的目的是为微纳米系统地平线2040研讨会提供部分支持，该研讨会将与在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的IEEE固态传感器、执行器和微系统国际会议（换能器2009）一起举行。研讨会将汇集对微纳米系统感兴趣的研究人员、科学家和工程师，就如何优先考虑这一领域的研究进行小组讨论。知识价值：本次研讨会将涵盖与ECCS部门对微纳米系统感兴趣的新兴研究主题，包括四个主题将在分组会议中讨论：环境监测；基础设施监测和国土安全；卫生保健;和能源/电力。2009年换能器会议也涵盖了这些主题，并包括许多由ENG和ECCS奖支持的论文。更广泛的影响：研讨会和会议将涉及从工业代表到学术研究人员和学生的一系列参与者。其他政府机构的代表也被邀请作为观察员。

Objective:The objective of this effort is to provide partial support to the Micro and Nano Systems Horizon 2040 Workshop, which will be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Solid State Sensors, Actuators, and Microsystems (Transducers 2009), in Denver, Colorado. The workshop will bring together researchers, scientists, and engineers who are interested in micro and nano systems for panel discussions on how to prioritize research in this area.Intellectual Merit:This workshop will cover emerging research themes relevant to micro and nano systems interests in the ECCS division, including four topics to be addressed in break-out sessions: environmental monitoring; infrastructure monitoring and homeland security; health care; and energy/power. The Transducers 2009 Conference also covers these topics, and includes many papers supported by ENG and ECCS awards.Broader Impact:The workshop and conference will involve a range of participants from industrial representatives to academic researchers and students. Representatives of other government agencies have also been invited as observers.
