Conference: Proposed Workshop on CPS Rising Stars

该项目将为将于2024年5月在弗吉尼亚大学工程学院内的CPS卓越中心Link Lab举行的“网络物理系统(CPS)冉冉升起”研讨会提供支持。研讨会的主要目标是确定和指导有兴趣在CPS领域从事职业生涯的优秀博士生和新近毕业的博士生。研讨会的另一个次要但同样重要的目标是，通过确定社区合作伙伴的后起之秀，在选择时特别注意机构多样性和非传统背景，扩大对社区合作伙伴的参与。研讨会为参加者提供了关于如何适应社区合作伙伴职业生涯早期阶段的见解，特别是在学术界。参与者还有机会分享他们的研究成果，并与Link Lab的教职员工和来自全国各地的同行CPS Ring Stars建立网络。通过参加这次研讨会，参与者可以开始与研究人员进行新的合作，并获得能够支持他们职业发展的专业导师。这将是CPS连续第三次在领汇实验室举办新星研讨会。今年的研讨会将仿照前两次成功的研讨会。综上所述，这三个讲习班正在通过在CPS培养一支早期职业研究人员队伍来影响CPS。CPS后起之秀在学术界、政府和行业中发挥着重要作用，不仅对CPS的核心研究产生了积极影响，而且对将CPS原则应用于社会面临的挑战的各种领域也产生了积极影响。该奖项反映了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 will provide support for a “Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) Rising Stars” workshop to be held in May 2024 at the Link Lab, a center of excellence in CPS within the University of Virginia’s School of Engineering. The primary goal of the workshop is to identify and mentor outstanding Ph.D. students and recent PhD graduates who are interested in pursuing careers in CPS fields. A secondary but equally important goal of the workshop is to broaden participation in CPS by identifying CPS Rising Stars paying special attention to institutional diversity and non-traditional backgrounds in selection.The workshop provides participants with insights about navigating the early stages of CPS careers, particularly in academia. Participants also have opportunities to share their research and to network with faculty in Link Lab and peer CPS Rising Stars from across the country. By attending this workshop, participants can initiate new collaborations with researchers and gain professional mentors that can support them in their career advancement. This will be the third consecutive CPS Rising Stars Workshop hosted at the Link Lab. This year’s workshop will be modeled after the two prior successful workshops. Taken together, the three workshops are impacting CPS by building a cadre of early career researchers in CPS. CPS Rising Stars are taking impactful positions in academia, government, and industry, positively impacting not only core CPS research but also a variety of domains that apply CPS principles to challenges facing society.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.
