Planning IUCRC University of Connecticut: Center for Networked Embedded, Smart and Trusted Things NESTT

康涅狄格大学将与亚利桑那州立大学、南加州大学、亚利桑那大学和南伊利诺伊大学合作，组建一个新的NSF工业大学合作研究中心（IUCRC），用于网络嵌入式、智能和可信事物（NESTT）。NESTT的愿景是为发展一个公平、安全和有保障的互联世界做出贡献。NESTT将通过专注于创建整体物联网解决方案，将技术学科与法律、商业和人文学科的专业知识相结合，实现这一愿景。康涅狄格大学场地规划项目的目标是与行业合作伙伴和NESTT合作大学举行研讨会。这些研讨会的目标是概述研究议程，并确定IUCRC的行业支持，重点是提供特定于网络物理系统、物联网需求和架构、网络安全、智能制造、智能建筑、电网现代化和交通的工业物联网解决方案。这些应用领域将得到康涅狄格大学在系统工程、分布式边缘和云计算、形式化方法、机器学习、数据分析、网络物理安全、预测和诊断方面的专业知识的支持。NESTT的多学科研究旨在将物联网的社会和技术方面整合为一个系统工程和设计问题。新的科学发现及其与工业实践的结合可以促进经济增长，并提供社会和环境效益。为STEM学科和相关技术领域代表性不足的学生提供机会和机会将是一个优先事项。康涅狄格大学的NESTT将参与康涅狄格大学多元文化学者计划、麦克奈尔学者本科研究计划、hbcu联络处、全国GEM联盟、东北研究生教育和教授联盟以及少数民族学生暑期研究计划。康涅狄格大学NESTT - IUCRC规划研讨会的议程、参与者名单和成果将在联合技术大学高级系统工程研究所（http://utc-iase.uconn.edu）的主持下在康涅狄格大学在线发布，并通过其社交媒体场所进行宣传。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知识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 University of Connecticut will work together with the Arizona State University, University of Southern California, University of Arizona, and Southern Illinois University to form a new NSF Industry University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) for Networked Embedded, Smart and Trusted Things (NESTT). The vision of NESTT is to contribute to the development of an equitable, safe and secure connected world. NESTT will achieve this vision by focusing on creating holistic IoT solutions, integrating technology disciplines with expertise in law, business, and humanities.The objective of the UConn's site planning project is to hold workshops with industry partners and NESTT partner universities. The goal of these workshops is to outline a research agenda and identify industry support for an IUCRC focused on providing IoT solutions specific to cyber-physical systems, IOT requirements and architecture, cybersecurity, industrial IOT for smart manufacturing, smart buildings, grid modernization, and transportation. These application areas will be supported by UConn's expertise in systems engineering, distributed edge and cloud computing, formal methods, machine learning, data analytics, cyber-physical security, prognostics and diagnostics.The multidisciplinary research at NESTT aims to integrate societal and technological aspects of IoT as a systems engineering and design problem. New scientific discoveries in NESTT and their integration with industrial practice could enable economic growth, and provide societal and environmental benefits. Access and opportunities to students who are underrepresented in STEM disciplines and relevant technology areas will be a priority. UConn's NESTT will engage with the UConn Multicultural Scholars Program, the McNair Scholars Undergraduate Research Program, liaisons at HBCUs, the National GEM Consortium, the Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate, and Summer Research Programs for minority students.The agenda, list of participants and outcomes of the UConn's NESTT IUCRC planning workshops will be posted online at UConn under the auspices of the UTC Institute for Advanced Systems Engineering (http://utc-iase.uconn.edu ) and promoted through its social media venues.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.
