Workshop on Adaptation and Learning in Natural and Artificial Systems. To be Held in Washington, D.C. November 13-15, l995.

9528436 SASTRISH这是一项提议，拟于1995年11月13日星期一至11月15日星期三在华盛顿特区举办为期两天半的研讨会，题目是“自然和人工系统中控制和学习的体系结构：从分子到生态系统”。这一约有50人参加的讲习班的主要目标是组织如何将生物系统分析和控制倡议从目前的形式扩展，以便在从分子到生态系统的各种规模上应对生物系统的新技术和概念工具的挑战和使用。研讨会的形式是邀请一些演讲，在头两天由较小的分组来产生想法和报告。在第三天，我们将讨论这些报告，以达成关于生物学和工程学如何在“控制和学习的体系结构”领域相互促进的共识。我们希望能够在1996年3月之前将这些材料整理成一份报告。SASTRISH和FULL将担任本次研讨会的共同主席。他们还将作为组织委员会，与NSF生物和工程总监项目的适当项目主任协调一致。***

9528436 Sastry This is a proposal to hold a workshop in Washington, DC for two and a half days from Monday, November 13th to Wednesday, November 15th, 1995 on "Architectures for Control and Learning in Natural and Artificial Systems: from Molecules to Ecosystems". The main goal of this workshop, with approximately 50 participants is to organize how the Biosystems Analysis and Control (BAC) Initiative might be expanded from its current form in a way so as to address the challenges and uses of new technological and conceptual tools for biological systems over a range of scales: from molecules to eco-systems. The format of the workshop is to have some invited presentations, with smaller break out groups to generate ideas and reports on the first two days. On day three, we will discuss the reports to arrive at a consensus of how biology and engineering can cross-fertilize each other in the area of "Architectures for Control and Learning". We hope to be able to collate the material into a report by March 1996. Sastry and Full will act as co-chairpersons of this workshop. They will also act as the organizing committee in concert with the program appropriate program directors of programs in the Biology and Engineering Directorates of NSF. ***
