International Workshop on Advanced Smart Materials and Smart Structures Technology

0320097斯宾塞该奖项支持美国研究人员参加将于2003年6月在夏威夷举行的关于先进智能材料和智能结构技术的国际研讨会。美国的组织者是伊利诺伊大学香槟分校的B·F·斯宾塞教授。智能结构技术研究中心的亚太网络于去年建立。此次研讨会将使美国与会者能够与亚洲附属中心的研究人员进行深入讨论，目的是加强信息和数据交流，促进与地区行业的活动，促进青年研究人员和学生的交流，并开发利用网络中心基础设施的合作研究项目。鉴于中国、日本和韩国研究界在传感器、材料、结构技术和减灾等一般领域的优势，让美国研究人员在这些领域与他们的亚洲同行合作具有巨大的潜在好处。与这些领域的亚洲专家交流想法和数据将使美国与会者能够推进他们自己的工作，并将为未来的合作项目奠定基础。研讨会组织者特别努力让学生参与进来。会议结果将通过万维网和出版的会议记录予以公布。

0320097 SpencerThis award supports the participation of American researchers in an international workshop on advanced smart materials and smart structures technology to be held in Hawaii in June 2003. The U.S. organizer is Professor B. F. Spencer of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. An Asia-Pacific Network of Centers on Research of Smart Structures Technologies was established last year. This workshop will enable American participants to have in-depth discussions with researchers of the affiliated Asian centers, with the goals of enhancing information and data exchange, promoting activities with regional industries, facilitating exchanges of young researchers and students, and developing cooperative research projects that take advantage of the networked centers' infrastructure. Given the strengths of the Chinese, Japanese and Korean research communities in the general areas of sensors, materials, structures technology, and disaster mitigation, there are great potential benefits to having U.S. researchers cooperate with their Asian counterparts in these fields. The exchange of ideas and data with Asian experts in these fields will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve students. Findings of the meeting will be publicized via the World Wide Web and through a published proceedings.
