Conference: Proposed Workshop on CPS Rising Stars

该项目提供了一个研讨会“网络物理系统（CPS）新星”将在弗吉尼亚大学举行。 研讨会的目的是确定和指导优秀的博士。学生和博士后谁有兴趣在CPS领域追求学术生涯。本次研讨会让参与者有机会获得有关在学术界职业生涯的早期阶段导航的见解，以及提供与教师和同行的网络机会，为未来几年的持续合作和专业支持打开大门。该研讨会包括一个项目委员会，由具有CPS广泛背景的教师组成，他们将选择参加研讨会的学生。其中一个讲习班旨在通过鼓励妇女、代表性不足的少数民族和残疾人提出申请，增加CPS的代表性和多样性。此外，我们亦会特别招聘非中一学校的学生参加工作坊，这将是第二次CPS新星工作坊。 本次研讨会将仿照第一次，包括旨在建立一个研究人员在CPS的干部，并促进在该领域的学生之间的未来合作的各种会议。 第一次星星研讨会成功地招募了很高比例的URM学生。 除了特别关注非R1候选人的选择外，该研讨会将保留这一招聘重点。该奖项反映了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 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.
