Intelligent, interactive, and highly networked machines -- with which people increasingly share their autonomy and agency -- are a growing part of the landscape, particularly in regard to work. As automation today moves from the factory floor to knowledge and service occupations, insight and action are needed to reap the benefits in increased productivity and increased job opportunities, and to mitigate social costs. The workshop supported by this award will promote convergence by bringing together computer scientists, engineers, and social and behavioral scientists with practitioners and stakeholders to define key challenges and research imperatives at the nexus of humans, technology, and work. Convergence is the deep integration of knowledge, theories, methods, and data from multiple fields to form new and expanded frameworks for addressing scientific and societal challenges and opportunities. This convergence workshop addresses the future of work at the human-technology frontier.This workshop will focus on developing a convergent research agenda aimed at understanding how experiments with new forms of work, such as makerspaces, co-working spaces, incubators, and tech entrepreneurship, are transforming the nature of work, the labor force, and many industries. It will bring together scholars from a diverse set of disciplines, including computer science, anthropology, economics, science and technology studies, sociology of work/labor, and engineering along with stakeholders (entrepreneurs, makers, crowd-workers, and educators) to explore this challenge space and develop convergent approaches to studying it. The workshop will explore questions such as: Which tools, methods, and practices support the prototyping of alternative work models? How might we anticipate and address their unintended consequences? What might be missing in science, technology, engineering, and math education that could better prepare various generations of American workers for a future of life-long learning? This workshop will also identify concrete methods and approaches that enable the partnership and collaboration between such otherwise distinct practices and domains of tech work and research. The workshop's agenda is creatively structured and will facilitate extensive interaction among all participants. The diversity of participants will ensure the group develops a comprehensive research agenda that incorporates both the technical and the social dimensions of these forms of tech work and explores both technical and social solutions.

智能、交互式和高度网络化的机器——人们越来越多地与它们分享自主权和代理权——正在成为景观中日益增长的一部分，特别是在工作方面。 随着今天的自动化从工厂车间转移到知识和服务职业，需要洞察力和行动来获得生产力提高和就业机会增加的好处，并降低社会成本。 该奖项支持的研讨会将把计算机科学家、工程师、社会和行为科学家与从业者和利益相关者聚集在一起，共同定义人类、技术和工作之间的关键挑战和研究必要性，从而促进融合。 融合是来自多个领域的知识、理论、方法和数据的深度整合，形成新的和扩展的框架，以应对科学和社会的挑战和机遇。本次融合研讨会讨论了人类技术前沿的工作未来。本次研讨会将重点制定融合研究议程，旨在了解创客空间、联合办公空间、孵化器和科技创业等新工作形式的实验如何改变工作性质、劳动力和许多行业。 它将汇集来自不同学科的学者，包括计算机科学、人类学、经济学、科学技术研究、工作/劳动社会学和工程学以及利益相关者（企业家、创客、群众工作者和教育工作者），共同探索这一挑战空间并开发研究它的聚合方法。 研讨会将探讨以下问题：哪些工具、方法和实践支持替代工作模型的原型设计？我们如何预测并解决其意想不到的后果？ 科学、技术、工程和数学教育中可能缺少哪些内容，才能更好地帮助各代美国工人为终身学习的未来做好准备？ 本次研讨会还将确定具体的方法和途径，使这些原本不同的实践以及技术工作和研究领域之间能够建立伙伴关系和协作。 研讨会的议程结构新颖，将促进所有参与者之间的广泛互动。 参与者的多样性将确保该小组制定一个全面的研究议程，其中纳入这些技术工作形式的技术和社会层面，并探索技术和社会解决方案。
