WORKSHOP: Emerging Opportunities in Ceramic and Glass Science - A Workshop

非技术描述：鉴于21世纪不断增长的创新步伐，一个确定陶瓷和玻璃科学新兴领域的研讨会是必要的。为期两天半的论坛汇集了45名玻璃和陶瓷材料研究人员，分享专业知识和愿景，以定义杰出的材料挑战。在会议准备过程中，与会者建议并在线评估讨论主题，以概述会议议程。为了确保研讨会报告在陶瓷界内外具有最全面的影响力，顶级陶瓷科学期刊之一的《美国陶瓷学会杂志》已同意将研讨会报告作为开放获取出版物发表。该研讨会将于2016年9月12日至14日在华盛顿特区举行。技术细节：陶瓷和玻璃科学的新兴机会研讨会侧重于四种材料类别的最新研究思想：非晶材料，氧化物，非氧化物和复合材料。根据45位材料专业人士的演讲和讨论，定义了关键的研究挑战。强调了计算技术在材料设计和性能预测中的作用。此外，本文还探讨了数据挖掘策略作为识别新的研究领域和横切研究机会的工具。研讨会的参与者是从学术界、工业界和国家实验室中挑选出来的，为识别陶瓷和玻璃科学的新兴机会提供最广泛的投入。其中包括代表性不足的群体和所有职业阶段参与者的平衡。在这45人中，包括来自材料学科以外的研究人员，以突出横切机会。该研讨会报告预定在《美国陶瓷学会杂志》上发表，为美国国家科学基金会材料研究部的陶瓷项目和相关项目提供了一个关于陶瓷和玻璃科学需求、机会和活动的纲要。

Non-Technical Description:Given the ever-increasing pace of innovation in the 21st century, a workshop to identify emerging areas in ceramic and glass science is warranted. A two-and-a-half-day forum brings together 45 researchers in glass and ceramic materials to share both expertise and vision to define outstanding materials challenges. In preparation for the meeting, participants suggest and evaluate discussion topics on-line to outline the meeting agenda. In order to ensure that the workshop report has the most comprehensive influence in and beyond the ceramics community, the Journal of the American Ceramic Society, one of the top ceramic science journals, has agreed to publish the workshop report, as an open access publication. The workshop will be held in the D.C. area from Sept. 12-14, 2016. Technical Details:The Workshop on Emerging Opportunities in Ceramic and Glass Science focuses on the most recent research ideas in four material classes: amorphous materials, oxides, non-oxides, and composites. Based upon presentations and discussion by 45 materials professionals, critical research challenges are defined. The role of computational techniques for material design and property prediction is highlighted. In addition, strategies of data mining are explored as a tool for identifying new areas of study and opportunities for crosscutting research. Participants for the workshop are selected from academia, industry and national laboratories to provide the broadest possible input for identifying emerging opportunities in ceramic and glass science. These include underrepresented groups and a balance of participants over all career stages. Among the 45 are researchers from outside the materials discipline included to highlight crosscutting opportunities. The workshop report, slated for publication in the Journal of the American Ceramic Society, provides the Ceramics Program and related programs within the NSF's Division of Materials Research with a compendium of needs, opportunities and activities in ceramic and glass science.
