S&AS: COLLAB: Organization of the 2018 Smart and Autonomous Systems (S&AS) PI Meeting

该奖项的目的是组织智能与自主系统(S和AS)项目的首届首席研究员(PI)会议。由于这是一个新计划，PI会议将为这个新的NSF计划设定智力基调，并围绕这个新计划创建一个社区，以认知、可任务、反思、道德和知识丰富的智能物理系统为中心。PI会议将汇集积极参与S项目的研究人员、公司和项目官员，在共同的智力挑战、教育和培训方法、成果转化方面的最佳实践方面提供跨项目协调，并建立一个持久的知识库，说明S作为项目探索的研究思路和取得的里程碑。PI会议将于2018年4月5日至6日在华盛顿特区举行，会议形式将包括所有与会PI的简短演讲、海报会议、主旨演讲和小组讨论。会议的邀请者将包括所有积极参与S的私人投资机构，参与相关项目的项目经理，以及行业代表和媒体成员。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The objective of this award is to organize the inaugural Principal Investigators (PI) meeting for the Smart and Autonomous Systems (S&AS) program. As this is a new program, the PI meeting will set the intellectual tone for and create a community around this new NSF program, centered at intelligent physical systems that are cognizant, taskable, reflective, ethical, and knowledge-rich. The PI meeting will bring together researchers, companies, and program officers who are actively engaged in S&AS to provide cross-project coordination in terms of common intellectual challenges, methods for education and training, best practices in terms of transition of results, and a lasting repository illustrating the research ideas explored and milestones achieved by the S&AS projects. The PI meeting will take place during April 5-6, 2018, in Washington DC, and the format will include short presentations by all the attending PIs, poster sessions, keynote speeches, and panel discussions. Invitations to the meeting will include all PIs with active S&AS grants, program managers involved with related programs, as well as industry representatives and members of the press.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
