2015 NSF Early-Career Investigators Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems for Smart Cities

该提案为网络物理系统（CPS）的早期职业研讨会提供资金。目标受众包括后期研究生;博士后研究员;和助理教授在他们的学术生涯早期。该研讨会是多学科的，旨在关注适用于能源，交通和医疗保健等多个领域的基础CPS理念。研讨会希望通过头脑风暴讨论，全体会议和海报会议来确定新的研究方向。早期职业研究人员的社区通常没有在以前的CPS研讨会或PI会议上得到解决;让这些人参与进来将促进新的伙伴关系和合作，有助于在多个应用领域为CPS奠定基础的新创意的增长，并将有助于CPS中早期职业PI和潜在PI的培养-从而对CPS创新生态系统产生积极影响。 2015年早期职业研讨会的重点是网络物理系统和智慧城市的特殊主题。 参与者将共同开发新的项目想法，将这些想法展示给他们的同行，并在最后一天参加一个活动，该活动包括来自行业（包括风险投资家），学术界和政府的小组成员。

This proposal funds an early-career workshop in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). The target audience includes late-stage graduate students; postdoctoral fellows; and assistant professors early in their academic careers. The workshop is multidisciplinary, and is designed to focus on foundational CPS ideas applicable across multiple domains such as energy, transportation, and healthcare. The workshop hopes to identify new research directions through brainstorming discussions, plenary talks, and poster sessions. The community of early-career researchers has typically not been addressed by previous CPS workshops or PI meetings; engaging these individuals will foster new partnerships and collaborations, contribute to the growth of new and creative ideas that are foundational to CPS across multiple application domains, and will contribute to the nurturing of early-career PIs and prospective PIs in CPS - thereby positively impacting the CPS innovation ecosystem. The 2015 early-career workshop has a focus on the special topic of cyber-physical systems and smart cities. The participants will work together to develop new project ideas, present these ideas to their peers, and also participate in an activity on the last day at an event that includes panelists from industry (including venture capitalists), academia, and government.
