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

该提案资助了网络物理系统（CPS）的早期职业研讨会。目标受众包括后期研究生；博士后研究人员;以及在学术生涯早期的助理教授。该研讨会是多学科的，旨在关注适用于多个领域（如能源、交通和医疗保健）的基础CPS思想。研讨会希望通过头脑风暴讨论、全体会议和海报会议确定新的研究方向。以前的CPS研讨会或PI会议通常没有涉及早期职业研究人员社区；这些人的参与将促进新的伙伴关系和合作，促进新的和创造性的想法的增长，这些想法是跨多个应用领域CPS的基础，并将有助于培养早期职业pi和未来pi在CPS中，从而积极影响CPS创新生态系统。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专题。参与者将共同开发新的项目想法，向他们的同行展示这些想法，并在最后一天参加一个活动，该活动包括来自行业（包括风险资本家），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.
