2016 NSF-Germany IoT Workshop

研讨会汇集了来自德国和美国学术界，政府和工业界的研发专家，以帮助促进对物联网和CPS领域的研究差距，机会以及潜在的国际合作和部署的讨论。更具体地说，研讨会将探讨物联网/CPS中正在进行的研究和开发活动，寻求确定未来的联合研究机会，并为这一重要且快速增长的领域的合作战略进展奠定基础。研究挑战的规模和解决这些挑战的紧迫性需要一种战略方法。结合美国和德国的具体优势是协同的，目标是加速各方面的研究进展。会议计划包括邀请学术研究和行业报告，介绍美国和德国在物联网和CPS领域的前瞻性研究协同合作。将讨论的一些主题是：1)架构；2)开发环境；3)基础;4)互操作性和标准化。来自研讨会的资金将用于支持参加研讨会的美国研究人员。将作出重大努力，吸引美国和德国双方的妇女和其他代表性不足的少数民族参加讲习班。信息和通信技术与物理系统工程的持续融合引发了私营和公共部门的巨大变化。这些变化深刻地影响着我们构建的系统的性质，我们用于开发和制造的技术，以及我们教授工程的方式。由此产生的新一代网络物理系统（CPS）及其新兴平台，如物联网（IoT）和工业互联网（II），需要将信息技术和工程学科的能力结合起来。因此，学术界、工业界和社会将需要以可靠的方式扩大创建CPS领域的能力。

The workshop brings together R&D experts from the German and U.S. academic, government, andindustry sectors to help spur discussion on research gaps, opportunities, and potential internationalcollaborations and deployments in the areas of IoT (Internet of Things) and CPS. More specifically, the workshopwill explore ongoing research and development activities in IoT/CPS, seek to identify futurejoint research opportunities, and establish a foundation for cooperative strategic progressin this important and rapidly growing area. The magnitude of research challenges and the urgency of addressing them require a strategicapproach. Combining the specific strengths from the United States and from Germany is synergisticwith the goal of accelerating progress in all aspects of research. The program of the meeting includes invited academic research and industry presentations about prospective research synergistic collaborations in the areas of IoT and CPS between the UnitedStates and Germany. Some topics that will be discussed are: 1) Architectures; 2) Development environments; 3) Foundations; 4) Inter-operability and Standardization. Funds from the workshop will support US researchers participating in the workshop. Significant efforts will be made to attract women and other under-represented minorities as workshop participants from both US and German sides. The ongoing fusion of information and communication technologies with engineering of physicalsystems has triggered tremendous changes in private and public sectors. These changes deeplyinfluence the nature of systems we build, the technologies we use for development and manufacturingand the way we teach engineering. The resulting new generations of Cyber-Physical Systems(CPS) and their emerging platforms such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet(II) require bringing together competences both from the information technologies and theengineering disciplines. As a result, academia, industry, and society will need to expandcapacity in the area of creating CPS in a dependable way.
