The objective of this award will be to conduct three one day workshop in conjunction with the 2011 NSF Engineering Research and Innovation Conference sponsored by NSF's Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI). The overarching theme of these workshops is the investigation of fundamental questions in systems and modeling, with the goal of identifying knowledge gaps that require further research pursuit. The Hot Topics in Engineering Design Workshop will further advance the fundamental theory of systems engineering through examination of model-based design, value-centric design for adaptability, and by placing a rigorous footing under systems engineering processes. The investigation embodied in this workshop is a necessary step in a major research program examining fundamental issues in the design of large complex systems. The Workshop on New Directions in Dynamical Systems Inspired by Biological, Energy, Environmental, and Information Sciences, will further advance uncertainty quantification (UQ) and data driven dynamical systems (DDDS); dynamical systems in biomechanics/biomimetics, and energy generation/distribution systems; and identify new directions for research in dynamical systems. The Workshop on Challenges and Opportunities for Research in Multiscale Modeling in Mechanics and Materials (M4), aims to attain a systematic rationale, which is scientifically rigorous, to the field of multiscale modeling in mechanics and materials, as opposed to the present approaches that are largely heuristic in nature. These workshops will produce research agenda aimed at significantly advancing the respective fields in systems and modeling.Each of these workshops will be strengthened by inviting a culturally diverse group of researchers and practitioners, and will offer travel stipends to a number of graduate students as well, thereby enabling these researchers of the future to frame their research with the latest and most cutting-edge insights in their field. Additionally, the topics identified by each workshop have broad and sweeping impact across numerous fields, from energy, to defense, to manufacturing - all identified as Grand Challenges for the next century. The critical investigations of each workshop into existing practice and potentials for future research in each area, suggest tremendous possibilities for impacting industrial practice across these fields. The workshops will encourage interaction of the communities involved, with presentations by thought leaders in the respective fields, emphasis on discussion and interaction, and encouragement of participation by graduate students. Each workshop will produce a report that will provide a complete and balanced result of discussions, along with a collection of key research questions and research proposal directions for future consideration. Additionally, results from the workshops will be disseminated through presentations, conference papers, and journal articles.

该奖项的目的是举办三个为期一天的研讨会，与2011年NSF工程研究和创新会议由NSF的土木，机械和制造创新（CMMI）部门主办。 这些研讨会的首要主题是调查系统和建模中的基本问题，目的是确定需要进一步研究的知识差距。 工程设计研讨会的热门话题将进一步推进系统工程的基础理论，通过检查基于模型的设计，以价值为中心的设计适应性，并通过在系统工程过程中建立严格的基础。在这个研讨会中体现的调查是一个重大的研究计划，研究大型复杂系统的设计中的基本问题的必要步骤。在生物，能源，环境和信息科学的启发下，动力系统新方向研讨会将进一步推进不确定性量化（UQ）和数据驱动的动力系统（DDDS）;生物力学/仿生学中的动力系统，以及能量产生/分配系统;并确定动力系统研究的新方向。关于力学和材料多尺度建模研究的挑战和机遇的研讨会（M4）旨在为力学和材料多尺度建模领域提供科学严谨的系统理论基础，而不是目前的方法，这些方法在本质上主要是启发式的。 这些研讨会将制定研究议程，旨在显著推进系统和建模领域的各自发展。通过邀请具有不同文化背景的研究人员和从业人员，并为研究生提供差旅津贴，这些研讨会将加强每一个研讨会，从而使这些未来的研究人员能够用各自领域的最新和最前沿的见解来构建他们的研究。此外，每个研讨会确定的主题对从能源到国防到制造业的众多领域都有广泛而全面的影响-所有这些都被确定为下一个世纪的重大挑战。每个研讨会对每个领域现有实践和未来研究潜力的批判性调查，表明了影响这些领域工业实践的巨大可能性。讲习班将鼓励有关社区之间的互动，由各自领域的思想领袖作演讲，强调讨论和互动，并鼓励研究生参与。每个讲习班将编写一份报告，提供完整和平衡的讨论结果，沿着一系列关键研究问题和研究建议方向，供今后审议。此外，讲习班的成果将通过演讲、会议论文和期刊文章传播。
