Conference: Proposed Workshop on CPS Rising Stars

该项目将在弗吉尼亚大学举办“网络物理系统(CPS)后起之秀”研讨会。研讨会的目的是确定和指导有兴趣在CPS领域从事学术事业的优秀博士生和博士后。该研讨会使学员有机会深入了解学术界职业生涯的早期阶段，并提供与教职员工和同行建立联系的机会，从而为未来数年的持续合作和专业支持打开大门。研讨会包括一个项目委员会，由具有广泛CPS背景的教职员工组成，他们将为研讨会挑选学生。其中一个讲习班旨在通过鼓励妇女、任职人数不足的少数群体和残疾人提出申请，增加初级保健服务的代表性和多样性。另一项具体工作是招募可能在非中一学校参加的工作坊参与者。这将是第二个CPS新星工作坊。这次研讨会将仿效第一次，包括各种课程，旨在培养一支CPS的研究人员队伍，并促进该领域学生之间的未来合作。第一个新星工作坊成功地招收了高比例的城市管理专业学生。这次研讨会除了特别关注非R1候选人的选择外，还将保留这一招聘重点。这一奖项反映了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 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.
