Travel Grant: 2022 IEEE CSS Workshop on Control for Societal-Scale Challenges

该奖项将支持召开会议，为控制社区制定路线图，确定社会规模的挑战和解决这些挑战的研究途径。该路线图将寻求确定关键的社会驱动因素、新兴技术趋势，并概述通过拥抱这些驱动因素和利用使能技术的进步来直接解决基本挑战的方法。通过这样做，会议将强调社区应该追求的科学挑战，并调查劳动力教育和培训课程，以我们社区对社会规模挑战产生坚实影响的宏伟目标。这笔资金将用于支持美国与会者参加会议并为这些讨论作出贡献的旅费。2022年IEEE CSS社会规模挑战控制研讨会（CSS- csc）计划是由全球控制社区组织的十年一次的活动。2022年IEEE CSS社会规模挑战控制研讨会将于2022年6月17日至18日在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行。这将是十年一次的一系列此类活动的第一次，并将由IEEE控制系统协会共同主办。本次研讨会的主要目标是为我们学科的未来制定一个科学的路线图，即“控制社会规模挑战：路线图2030”。该路线图将包括气候变化、共享经济、公共卫生、神经工程、机器人和自动化、网络物理人类系统、智能社会、6G网络和人工智能等主题。CSS-CSC讲习班是由一个国际科学卓越委员会组织的，该委员会由控制界的领导人组成。许多与会者都是同样知名的，如果不是更知名的话，并且在过去的四十年中为社区做出了开创性的贡献。本次研讨会将有助于确定、强调和推进控制界在应对21世纪出现的社会规模挑战方面的潜在贡献这一基本目标。预计这次会议将为今后每十年举行一次规模类似的一系列此类活动铺平道路。本次研讨会的全部重点是对社会各个领域产生更广泛的影响，包括能源、交通、医疗保健、机器人、制造业和整体生活质量。技术、挑战、机遇、方法、工具、验证测试平台、教育、培训和劳动力再培训是会议将探讨的关键要素。总而言之，随着我们进入21世纪，提议的会议的每一个方面都是为了对科学界，实际上是整个社会产生更广泛的影响。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。

This award will support a conference for the development of a roadmap for the control community that identifies societal-scale challenges and research paths for addressing them. The roadmap will seek to identify key societal drivers, emerging technological trends, and outline methodologies that squarely address the fundamental challenges by embracing these drivers and leveraging advances in enabling technologies. By doing so, the conference will underscore scientific challenges that the community should pursue, and investigate workforce education and training curricula, with the grand goal of a solid impact by our community on the societal-scale challenges. The funding will be used for travel support for attendees from the United States to participate in the conference and contribute to these deliberations. The 2022 IEEE CSS Workshop on Control for Societal-Scale Challenges (CSS-CSC) is planned to be a decennial event organized by the global control community. The 2022 IEEE CSS Workshop on Control for Societal-Scale Challenges will be an in-person event and will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, June 17-18, 2022. This is intended to be the first of a decennial series of such events, and will be cosponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society. The main goal of this workshop is to produce a scientific roadmap for the future of our discipline, Control for Societal-Scale Challenges: Roadmap 2030. This roadmap will include themes such as climate change, sharing economy, public health, neuro-engineering, robotics and automation, cyber-physical human systems, smart societies, 6G networks, and Artificial Intelligence. The CSS-CSC workshop is being organized by an international committee of scientific excellence, leaders in the control community. Many of the attendees are of equally well-known stature, if not even more so, and have made seminal contributions to the community over the last four decades. This workshop will contribute to the fundamental goal of identifying, underscoring, and advancing potential contributions from the control community for addressing societal-scale challenges that are emerging in the 21st century. This conference is expected to pave the way for a series of such events, with a similar large scope, to occur once every decade. The entire focus of this workshop is in achieving a broader impact on all walks of society including energy, transportation, healthcare, robotics, manufacturing, and overall quality of life. The technologies, the challenges, the opportunities, the methodologies, the tools, the validation testbeds, education, training and retraining of workforce, are the key elements that will be explored in the conference. All in all, every aspect of the proposed conference is intended to achieve a broader impact on the scientific community, and in fact the entire society, as we advance into the 21st century.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.
