New and emerging Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) developments have the potential to accelerate scientific discovery and industrial growth with positive social impacts. However, big picture assessments of new and emerging ICT are often lacking, particularly from an international perspective. The European Commission, under its Horizon 2020 program, launched a 2016 project on ICT Policy, Research and Innovation for a Smart Society: Towards New Avenues in EU-US ICT Collaboration (the PICASSO project). Under this proposal, NSF will provide co-funding for US researchers to participate in a PICASSO project symposium focused on exploring emerging areas of ICT relevant to cooperation between researchers in the US and EU. This workshop, the 2nd Trans-Atlantic Symposium on ICT Technology and Policy, will be held at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (the Wilson Center) in Washington, DC, on June 18-19, 2018. The symposium will result in greater awareness of shared US/EU priorities and needs in ICT technology and policy and in enhanced collaborations. Attendance of approximately 100 is anticipated, with outreach designed to facilitate participation from groups that are historically under-represented in STEM.Pervasive sensing and connectivity, large-scale secure data repositories, high-performance analytics in distributed and cloud platforms, real-time closed-loop applications, and robotics all offer individual advances in research and application areas, and will enable social, environmental, and economic benefits on unprecedented levels as the impacts of these technologies converge. Taking an international perspective, the goal of this workshop is to convene representatives from academia, industry, and government seeking to identify and advance collaborative research in new and emerging ICT areas. Specific thematic areas to be explored include Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), big data, 5G and beyond, the future of automation, and cyber-resiliency, all of which are a high priority for the US and EU. The symposium will predominately feature a mix of keynote speeches and plenary panel discussions, through breakout sessions on the second day will allow researchers to discuss key technical aspects of different thematic areas in detail. This workshop will provide inputs to help define opportunities for US/ EU collaboration from a high-level road-mapping perspective. A final report will be prepared for NSF and the European Commission, and a version of this report will also be made publically available on websites of the Wilson Center and PICASSO project. The symposium will also identify opportunities for and advance collaborative research through networking participants from the US and EU.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.

新兴信息和通信技术（ICT）的发展有可能加速科学发现和工业增长，并产生积极的社会影响。然而，往往缺乏对新兴信息通信技术的全面评估，特别是从国际角度进行评估。欧盟委员会在其“地平线2020”计划下，启动了2016年“智能社会的信息通信技术政策、研究和创新：走向欧盟-美国信息通信技术合作的新途径”项目（“毕加索”项目）。根据该提案，NSF将为美国研究人员提供共同资助，以参加一个PICASSO项目研讨会，该研讨会的重点是探索与美国和欧盟研究人员之间合作相关的新兴ICT领域。本次研讨会，第二届跨大西洋信息通信技术与政策研讨会，将于2018年6月18日至19日在华盛顿特区的伍德罗·威尔逊国际学者中心（威尔逊中心）举行。研讨会将使人们更加了解美国/欧盟在信息通信技术和政策方面的共同优先事项和需求，并加强合作。预计出席人数约为100人，旨在促进历史上在STEM中代表性不足的群体的参与。无处不在的传感和连接、大规模安全数据存储库、分布式和云平台中的高性能分析、实时闭环应用和机器人技术都在研究和应用领域提供了单独的进步，并且随着这些技术的影响融合，将使社会、环境和经济效益达到前所未有的水平。从国际的角度来看，本次研讨会的目标是召集来自学术界、工业界和政府的代表，寻求在新兴的ICT领域确定和推进合作研究。将探讨的具体主题领域包括网络物理系统（CPS）、物联网（IoT）、大数据、5G及以后、自动化的未来和网络弹性，所有这些都是美国和欧盟的高度优先事项。研讨会将以主题演讲和全体小组讨论为主，通过第二天的分组会议，研究人员将详细讨论不同主题领域的关键技术方面。本次研讨会将提供投入，以帮助从高级别路线图的角度确定美国/欧盟合作的机会。最终报告将提交给美国国家科学基金会和欧盟委员会，报告的一个版本也将在威尔逊中心和毕加索项目的网站上公开。研讨会还将通过来自美国和欧盟的网络参与者确定合作研究的机会和推进合作研究。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。
