该奖项为NIST-ASTM-NSF-ASME研讨会提供支持，该研讨会涉及代表系统可持续发展评估的制造过程的挑战。这笔资金部分用于支付美国科学家、博士后研究人员和研究生的旅费和出勤费。该研讨会旨在让研究界就先进制造、纳米制造、可持续制造和工程教育等新出现的主题展开讨论，所有这些都是美国先进制造业可持续发展不可或缺的组成部分，先进制造业是美国经济中一个长期重要的部门。讲习班的一个成果是确定研究和教育的需要，以支持确定可持续发展评估的单元制造过程的特点。研究的重点是研究制造过程的建模，以便在不同领域应用制造生产规模和方法进行系统级可持续评估。研讨会鼓励妇女和代表不足的少数民族参与关于先进制造业研究和教育的讨论，这对国家的繁荣也很重要。它激发了人们对未来研究方向和职业道路的想法。研讨会成果将以研讨会报告和同行评议出版物的形式记录和传播。该奖项部分支持研究生、博士后研究员、早期职业教师、妇女和代表不足的少数群体参加关于制造过程代表的研讨会。该研讨会专注于离散、批量和连续方法的单元制造过程建模研究，以及常规、纳米和添加剂制造规模的建模研究。方法学适用于机械、电气、化学、核、生化和生物等领域。可持续性需要在相互竞争的目标之间取得平衡，例如成本、时间以及环境和社会方面的考虑。由于不确定的紧急特性，这些模型用于系统级别的可持续性能是复杂的。然而，这些模型对于比较产品和生产系统的替代设计至关重要。获取和交换有关制造过程的信息可以实现一致的过程表征，并有助于建立过程模型的统一储存库，以便在先进制造领域中重复使用。改进的流程建模和模型集成确保更有效地沟通计算分析和共享可持续性绩效数据。让工业和学术研究人员参与讨论他们的工作，分享最佳实践，揭示研究和实践中的差距，对于制定新的研究方向非常重要。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides support for the NIST-ASTM-NSF-ASME Workshop on Challenges in Representing Manufacturing Processes for Systemic Sustainability Assessments. The funding partially supports the travel and attendance costs of US scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. The workshop is designed to engage the research community in discussions on emerging topics in advanced manufacturing, nanomanufacturing, sustainable manufacturing, and engineering education, all of which are integral to sustainability of advanced manufacturing in America, an enduringly important sector in the nation's economy. An outcome of the workshop is to identify needs for research and education in support of characterizing unit manufacturing processes for sustainability assessment. The research focus is to investigate modeling of manufacturing processes for system level sustainability assessment across manufacturing production scales and methods applied in various fields. The workshop encourages participation of women and under-represented minorities in discussions on advanced manufacturing research and education, also important for the nation's prosperity. It stimulates ideas for future directions in research and career paths. Workshop outcomes will be documented and disseminated as a workshop report and peer-reviewed publications.This award partially supports the participation of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, early career faculty, and women and under-represented minorities in a workshop on representations of manufacturing processes. The workshop focuses on research in modeling of unit manufacturing processes for discrete, batch, and continuous methods; and for conventional, nanometer, and additive manufacturing scales. Methodologies are applicable in fields such as mechanical, electrical, chemical, nuclear, biochemical, and biological. Sustainability requires a balance of competing objectives, such as cost, time, and environmental and social considerations. The use of these models for system-level sustainability performance is complicated due to uncertain emergent properties. However, these models are vital to comparing alternative designs of products and production systems. Acquiring and exchanging information on manufacturing processes can lead to consistent process characterization and can help establish a consolidated repository of process models for reuse across advanced manufacturing domains. Improved process modeling and model integration ensures more effective communication of computational analytics and sharing of sustainability performance data. Engaging industrial and academic researchers in discussing their work, sharing best practices, revealing gaps in research and practice is important in developing new research directions.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.
