This grant provides funding to organize and conduct a one-day workshop to explore the future of multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) and its ability to advance the design of complex systems. The objectives of the workshop are to: (1) identify and document promising future directions for MDO and related research, (2) articulate successful industrial implementations of MDO and identify the challenges with practical implementation of MDO methods and tools, (3) explore relationships between ongoing complex systems design initiatives and MDO, and (4) define affinity groups and target specific proposal solicitations and research opportunities. The workshop will engage 50 people from academia, industry, and government agencies by inviting participants from a wide range of engineering and design communities based on the Steering Committee?s extensive network of contacts. The results of the workshop will be documented in a report that will be distributed through a website and an email list-serve that is maintained by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics? MDO Technical Committee. If successful, the workshop will identify future research directions in MDO and new synergies with related engineering disciplines and complex systems design initiatives. While many of MDO?s founders are still active and engaged in the community, the focus of MDO has shifted dramatically in the past decade as new faculty and researchers are finding novel ways to use and deploy MDO methods and tools to a wide array of problems. MDO is thus at a cross-roads, and this workshop will help ensure that its future remains bright. Meanwhile, understanding the barriers to its implementation in industry will enable future advancements and allow MDO to realize its full potential. MDO methods and tools will also have much broader impact if a wider audience is engaged in the research. Thus, researchers and engineers outside of the MDO community (e.g., complex systems, systems engineering) will be invited to the workshop to help identify strategies for reaching broader audiences through synergistic efforts. The long-term goal of the workshop is to help reposition MDO as a practical tool for the design of complex engineered systems that can help overcome the cost overruns, schedule delays, and ensuing problems that currently plague many design and development programs.

这笔赠款提供资金组织和进行为期一天的研讨会，以探索多学科设计优化（MDO）的未来及其推进复杂系统设计的能力。 讲习班的目标是：（1）识别和记录MDO和相关研究的有希望的未来方向，（2）阐明MDO的成功工业实施，并识别MDO方法和工具的实际实施的挑战，（3）探索正在进行的复杂系统设计倡议和MDO之间的关系，及（4）界定亲和团体及针对特定建议征求及研究机会。 该研讨会将邀请来自指导委员会的广泛工程和设计社区的参与者，吸引来自学术界、工业界和政府机构的50名人员参加。广泛的联系网络。 研讨会的结果将记录在一份报告中，该报告将通过美国航空航天研究所维护的网站和电子邮件列表服务分发。MDO技术委员会 如果成功，研讨会将确定MDO未来的研究方向，以及与相关工程学科和复杂系统设计计划的新协同作用。 虽然许多MDO？的创始人仍然活跃在社区中，MDO的重点在过去十年中发生了巨大的变化，因为新的教师和研究人员正在寻找新的方法来使用和部署MDO方法和工具来解决各种问题。 因此，MDO正处于十字路口，这次研讨会将有助于确保其未来仍然光明。 同时，了解其在工业中实施的障碍将使未来的进步，并允许MDO实现其全部潜力。 如果有更多的人参与研究，MDO方法和工具也将产生更广泛的影响。 因此，MDO社区以外的研究人员和工程师（例如，复杂系统、系统工程）将应邀参加讲习班，以帮助确定通过协同努力接触更广泛受众的战略。 研讨会的长期目标是帮助重新定位MDO作为复杂工程系统设计的实用工具，可以帮助克服成本超支，进度延迟以及目前困扰许多设计和开发计划的问题。
