Workshop on Inter-Disciplinary Research Challenges in Computer Systems

该奖项资助了一个愿景研讨会，其目标是汇集计算系统领域的领先研究人员和从业人员（架构、操作系统、语言/编译器）反思三大领域重叠领域的研究进展，并讨论三大领域所面临的巨大挑战，使它们能够协同地满足现代计算的需求。研讨会将在以下背景下进行重点讨论：四个重要的应用领域：物联网（IoT）/基础设施，增强人类能力/人工智能，安全和隐私以及复杂性管理/环境。它将讨论计算系统中的跨学科研究如何帮助应对这些领域的重大挑战，例如缺乏可靠有效地支持物联网设备和人类的大型异构集合的原则和技术，人工智能部署面临的安全和效率障碍，以及硬件和软件中可能破坏安全和隐私的漏洞。主要研究人员，沿着研讨会参与者，将产生一个详细的研讨会报告，将概述重大挑战和有前途的方向，为进一步发展跨学科的研究，在计算系统。该报告将通过互联网以及专业期刊和杂志公开发布。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

This award funds a visioning workshop with the goal of bringing together leading researchers and practitioners in computing systems (architecture, operating systems, languages/compilers) to reflect on the research progress in the overlapped areas of the three fields and to discuss the grand challenges for the fields so that they can rise to meet the demands of modern computing in synergy.The workshop will have focused discussions in the context of four important application domains: Internet of Things (IoT)/infrastructure, augmenting Human Abilities/Artificial Intelligence, security and privacy, and complexity management/environment. It will discuss how inter-disciplinary research in computing systems could help meet the grand challenges in these domains, such as the lack of principles and techniques that reliably and efficiently support large and heterogeneous ensembles of IoT devices and humans, the safety and efficiency barriers facing the deployment of Artificial Intelligence, and the vulnerabilities in both hardware and software that threaten to undermine security and privacy.The principal investigators, along with workshop participants, will produce a detailed workshop report that will outline the grand challenges and promising directions for the further development of inter-disciplinary research in computing systems. The report will be made be publicly available through the internet as well as professional journals and magazines.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.
