Conference: Proposed Workshop on CPS Rising Stars

该项目将在弗吉尼亚大学举办一个名为“网络物理系统（CPS）新星”的研讨会。研讨会的目的是识别和指导有兴趣在CPS领域从事学术事业的优秀博士生和博士后。本次研讨会让参与者有机会了解如何在学术生涯的早期阶段导航，并提供与教师和同行交流的机会，为未来几年的持续合作和专业支持打开大门。研讨会包括一个由具有广泛CPS背景的教师组成的项目委员会，他们将为研讨会选择学生。其中一个研讨会旨在通过鼓励妇女、未被充分代表的少数民族和残疾人申请，增加CPS的代表性和多样性。目前正在作出具体努力，招募可能在非r1学校的讲习班参与者。这是第二届CPS新星工作坊。本次研讨会将以第一次研讨会为蓝本，包括各种会议，旨在建立CPS的研究骨干，并促进该领域学生之间的未来合作。第一届新星研讨会成功地招募了大量的URM学生。除了特别注意非r1候选人的选择外，本次研讨会将保留招聘重点。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 project provides a workshop “Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) Rising Stars” to be held at the University of Virginia. The purpose of the workshop is to identify and mentor outstanding Ph.D. students and postdocs who are interested in pursuing academic careers in CPS areas. This workshop gives participants a chance to gain insights about navigating the early stages of careers in academia, as well as provide networking opportunities with faculty and peers, opening the door for on-going collaboration and professional support for years to come. The workshop includes a program committee comprised of faculty with extensive background in CPS who will select students for the workshop. One workshop aims to increase representation and diversity in CPS, by encouraging applications from women,underrepresented minorities (URM), and persons with disabilities. A specific effort is also being made to recruit workshop participants who may be at non-R1 schools.This will be the second CPS Rising Stars Workshop. This workshop will be modeled after the first including a variety of sessions designed to build a cadre of researchers in CPS and foster future collaborations amongst the students in the field. The first Rising Star workshop was successful in recruiting a high percentage of URM students. This workshop will retain this recruiting focus in addition to paying special attention to selection of non-R1 candidates.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.
