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，成立一个新的NSF工业大学合作研究中心（IUCRC），致力于网络嵌入式、智能和可信事物（NESTT）。NESTT的愿景是为建立一个公平、安全和可靠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、商业和人文领域的专业知识相结合来实现这一愿景。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合作大学举办研讨会。这些研讨会的目标是概述研究议程，并确定行业对IUCRC的支持，重点是提供针对网络物理系统的物联网解决方案，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。这些应用领域将得到康州大学在系统工程、分布式边缘和云计算、正式方法、机器学习、数据分析、网络物理安全、故障诊断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系统工程和设计问题。NESTT中的新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。在STEM学科和相关技术领域代表性不足的学生的访问和机会将是一个优先事项。康州大学的NESTT将与康州大学多元文化学者计划，麦克奈尔学者本科研究计划，在HBCU联络，国家创业板联盟，东北联盟研究生教育和教授，和少数民族学生暑期研究计划。议程，在UTC研究所的支持下，康州大学NESTT IUCRC规划研讨会的与会者名单和成果将在康州大学网上公布该utc-iase.uconn.edu奖项反映了NSF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.
