Conference: 2024 S&CC PI Meeting

本项目的目的是计划和组织2024年美国国家科学基金会（NSF）智能和互联社区首席研究员（PI）会议。本次会议将召集NSF S&amp；CC计划的所有活跃奖项的PI， PI会议将于2024年2月/ 3月在田纳西州纳什维尔举行。PI会议是美国国家科学基金会赞助的标准和协作中心研究人员、地方政府和社区组织代表以及联邦机构代表聚集和审查标准和协作中心进展和发展、确定新的和新兴的研究领域、讨论研究和应用差距和障碍的年度机会。项目议程是由社区驱动的，包括pi的演讲（口头和海报），过去一年项目活动的报告，以及展示新的S&amp；CC进步和创新。这将是一个混合的PI会议。它将包括面对面和虚拟的元素。PI会议的虚拟组件还将使学术界、政府和工业界的更大的研究人员社区能够参与其中。每年的PI会议是nsf资助的标准普尔CC PI聚会的唯一机会，分享他们的研究，讨论新的研究机遇和挑战，并为未来的工作探索新的想法和合作伙伴关系。此外，PI会议还为学术研究界提供了与政府机构进行互动的机会，这些机构对标准和编码技术的研究和开发具有既得利益。PI会议是S&amp；CC社区之间分享想法的论坛。它在发展跨广泛部门和技术的社区方面发挥了重要作用，并向其他有兴趣了解该计划并作为未来的提议者、过渡合作伙伴或赞助商参与的人提供了服务。2024年PI会议将包括研究人员的演讲、海报会议、专题研讨会，以及研究界和地方政府领导人的示范和主题演讲。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。

The purpose of this project is to plan and organize the 2024 National Science Foundation (NSF) Smart & Connected Communities Principal Investigator (PI) Meeting. This meeting will convene all PIs of active awards the NSF S&CC Program and the PI Meeting is to take place during February/March of 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee. The PI meeting is an annual opportunity for NSF-sponsored S&CC researchers, local government and community organization representatives, and Federal agency representatives to gather and review S&CC progress and developments, identify new and emerging research areas, and to discuss research and application gaps and barriers. The program agenda is community-driven and includes presentations (oral and poster) from PIs, reports of past year program activities, and showcasing of new S&CC advancements and innovations. This will be a hybrid PI meeting. It will include both in-person and virtual elements. The virtual component of the PI meeting will also enable a larger community of researchers across academia, government, and industry to participate.The annual PI Meeting serves as the only opportunity where the NSF-funded S&CC PIs meet to share their research, discuss new research opportunities and challenges, and explore new ideas and partnerships for future work. Furthermore, the PI meeting is also an opportunity for the academic research community to interact with government agencies with vested interest in S&CC research and development. The PI Meeting is a forum for sharing ideas across the S&CC community. It has played a major role in growing the community across a broad range of sectors and technologies, and performing outreach to others who have interest in learning about the program and participating as future proposers, transition partners, or sponsors. The 2024 PI meeting will feature presentations from researchers, poster sessions, special topic workshops, and demonstrations and keynotes from leaders in the research community and local government.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.
