2000 Design and Manufacturing Research Conference; Vancouver, British Columbia; January 3-6, 2000

该奖项旨在举办年度国家科学基金设计与制造研究会议。会议将包括来自设计、制造和工业创新部门、工程教育和中心部门、电气和通信系统部门以及土木和机械结构部门力学和材料计划的研究人员，该部门位于工程理事会；信息和智能系统司，隶属于计算机和信息科学与工程司；在数学和物理科学理事会下属的材料研究部开展与制造相关的项目。会议确保每个研究人员都了解他们的同事正在进行的活动。这种活动可以消除它们的重复工作，并可能产生一定程度的合作。预期研究活动的效率将全面提高。此外，会议计划组织允许充足的时间在会议上与集体研究社区详细讨论制造研究，并向国家科学基金会提供反馈和输入。最后，受资助者与各司方案主任之间的个人接触应有助于澄清其工作中的许多当前问题。会议的目的是加强研究人员之间的交流，鼓励联合研究，促进协同作用，发展技术交流网络。参加会议的人可以较早地接触到传播的信息。

This award is to conduct the annual National Science Foundation Design and Manufacturing Research Conference. The conference will involve researchers from the Division of Design, Manufacture and Industrial Innovation, the Division of Engineering Education and Centers, the Division of Electrical and Communication Systems and the Mechanics and Materials Program in the Division of Civil and Mechanical Structures, located within the Directorate for Engineering; the Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, located within the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering; and manufacturing related projects in the Division of Materials Research, located within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.The conference ensures that the individual researchers are informed about the ongoing activities of their colleagues. An elimination of duplication of their efforts may be achieved and a degree of cooperation may result from this activity. An overall improvement of efficiency of the research activity could be expected. In addition, the conference program organization allows for ample time to discuss manufacturing research in detail with the collective research community at the meeting, with feedback to and input from the National Science Foundation. Finally, personal contacts between the grantees and program directors in the Divisions should contribute to clarifying many current issues in their work. The aims of the conference are to enhance communication between researchers, encourage joint research, promote synergism, and develop networks for technical interchange. Attendees to the conference gain an early access to the information disseminated.
