Workshop on Fostering Diversity in the Design Automation for Emerging Computing Community

提议的研讨会将使未被充分代表的学生了解新兴计算范式研究中取得的重大里程碑，并将尝试让他们参与关键的研究问题。该计划还将使他们接触跨学科研究的挑战。此外，研讨会将为与会者提供进一步交流和潜在指导机会的平台。来自学术界和工业实验室的妇女和少数民族专家参加讲习班将使后一目标得以实现。此外，该研讨会有可能在与新兴计算技术相关领域的（代表性不足的）学生和研究人员之间培养一种社区意识。全国需要在STEM领域（如科学和工程领域）纳入妇女、少数民族和其他代表性不足的群体，这是众所周知的，怎么强调都不为过。在与计算相关的领域尤其如此。本建议的目的是扩大参与并解决少数民族和妇女在新兴计算和微电子设计自动化的特定领域缺乏代表性的问题。由于研讨会将由代表性不足的研究生以及学术界、工业界、招聘人员和来自各联邦机构的项目主管参加，因此它将创造一个强大的网络和指导环境，以加强合作和进一步的机会。

The proposed workshop will expose the underrepresented students to major milestones achieved in research on emerging computing paradigms, and will attempt to engage them in critical research issues. The plan is also to expose them to the challenges of interdisciplinary research. Additionally, the workshop will provide the attendees a platform for further networking and potential mentoring opportunities. The inclusion of women and minority experts from academia as well as industry laboratories in the workshop will make this latter goal achievable. Furthermore, the workshop has the potential to foster a sense of community among (underrepresented) students and researchers in fields related to emerging computing technologies.The national need for including women, minorities and other underrepresented groups in STEM areas e.g., in science and engineering, is well known and cannot be overstated. This is particularly true in fields related to computing. The present proposal aims to broaden participation and addresses the lack of representation of minority and women in the particular area of emerging computing and microelectronic design automation. Since the workshop will be attended by underrepresented graduate students as well as by leaders in academia, industry, recruiters and program directors from various federal agencies, it will create a powerful networking, mentoring environment to enhance collaboration and further opportunities.
