The University of Southern California plans to work together with Arizona State University, University of Arizona, Southern Illinois University and University of Connecticut to form a new NSF Industry University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) for Networked Embedded, Smart and Trusted Things (NESTT). The vision of the NESTT center is to contribute to the development of an equitable, safe and secure connected world, focusing on creating holistic Internet of things (IoT) solutions by integrating technology disciplines with expertise in other areas such as law, business, and humanities. This planning grant's objective is to organize workshops and a planning meeting with industry partners to form the research agenda for NESTT and to explore industry commitment to the proposed center. At these workshops and the planning meeting, USC faculty will present and discuss their research pertaining to IoT, spanning a range of technology horizontals, including networking, distributed edge and cloud computing, blockchain, formal methods, machine learning, data analytics and security, as well as application verticals, including transportation, energy, smart buildings, and smart cities, and interdisciplinary collaborations with non-engineering experts from business, policy, and education. The proposed NESTT center aims to undertake cutting edge fundamental and applied research that will lower the barriers to the adoption of IoT technologies through holistic multidisciplinary design and innovation in diverse domains such as smart cities, transportation, and energy. These research activities would lead to broader economic, societal and environmental benefits and contribute to new scientific discoveries. The planning effort will also seek effective ways for the proposed center to broaden the participation of underrepresented students in STEM disciplines.Information about the NESTT IUCRC planning meeting and associated workshops will be posted online at USC under the auspices of the USC Viterbi Center for Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet of Things (website: http://cci.usc.edu/).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.

南加州大学计划与亚利桑那州立大学、亚利桑那大学、南伊利诺伊大学和康涅狄格大学合作，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中心的愿景是通过整合技术学科与法律、商业、人文等其他领域的专业知识，专注于创造整体物联网（IoT）解决方案，为公平、安全、可靠的互联世界的发展做出贡献。该计划拨款的目的是与行业合作伙伴组织研讨会和规划会议，以形成NESTT的研究议程，并探索行业对拟议中心的承诺。在这些研讨会和规划会议上，南加州大学的教师将展示和讨论他们与物联网相关的研究，涵盖一系列技术层面，包括网络、分布式边缘和云计算、区块链、形式化方法、机器学习、数据分析和安全，以及垂直应用领域，包括交通、能源、智能建筑和智能城市，以及与来自商业、政策、和教育。拟议中的NESTT中心旨在开展前沿的基础和应用研究，通过在智慧城市、交通和能源等不同领域的整体多学科设计和创新，降低采用物联网技术的障碍。这些研究活动将带来更广泛的经济、社会和环境效益，并有助于新的科学发现。规划工作还将为拟议的中心寻求有效的方法，以扩大代表性不足的学生在STEM学科的参与。关于NESTT - IUCRC规划会议和相关研讨会的信息将在南加州大学在线发布，由南加州大学维特比网络物理系统和物联网中心主持（网站：http://cci.usc.edu/）.This)。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。
