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

该奖项将支持为控制界制定路线图的会议，该路线图确定了社会规模的挑战和应对这些挑战的研究途径。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方面的进步来正视根本挑战的方法。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，以实现我们的社区在社会规模的挑战中产生坚实影响的宏伟目标。这笔资金将用于支持来自美国的与会者参加会议并为这些审议工作做出贡献。2022年IEEE社会规模挑战控制问题研讨会计划由全球控制界组织一次十年一度的活动。2022年IEEE CSS关于控制社会规模挑战的研讨会将是一次面对面的活动，将于2022年6月17日至18日在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行。这将是十年一度的此类活动系列中的第一次，并将由IEEE控制系统学会共同主办。这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，即控制社会规模的挑战：路线图2030。这份路线图将包括气候变化、分享经济、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研讨会由一个国际杰出科学委员会组织，该委员会是控制界的领导者。许多与会者都是同样知名的人物，如果不是更知名的话，他们在过去40年里为社区做出了开创性的贡献。这一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根本目标。这次会议预计将为每十年举行一次类似规模的一系列此类活动铺平道路。此次研讨会的整个重点是对社会各行各业产生更广泛的影响，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、验证试验台、劳动力的教育、培训和再培训，是会议将探讨的关键要素。总而言之，随着我们进入21世纪，拟议中的会议的每一个方面都旨在对科学界乃至整个社会产生更广泛的影响。这一奖项反映了NSF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。

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.
