International Bio-Nano-Information (BNI) Fusion Conference to be held in Marina del Rey, CA on July 20-22, 2005.

建议没有。项目名称：cst -0502767主要研究人员：C-M ho机构：加州大学洛杉矶分校国际生物纳米信息（BNI）融合会议该基金为2005年7月20-22日在加州Marina del Rey举行的生物纳米信息（BNI）融合会议提供部分资金。NSF支持将支付研究生的差旅费和会议费用，并使大约40名学生参加会议。拟议的会议的知识价值主要涉及在一个新兴领域交换技术资料。对自然界过程的观察（例如，纳米尺度的细胞功能导致宏观结构和高阶功能）导致了融合生物技术，纳米技术和信息科学的引人注目的方法，这将丰富革命性应用特定技术的发展。生物纳米信息学的融合将在系统架构中达到顶峰，这将与自然界中发生的系统架构相媲美。对这三个领域的相互作用如何在分子水平上被操纵以产生增强的、涌现的特性的基本理解，将解决“突破极限”的可能性有多大的问题。该建议的更广泛影响如下。通过技术融合实现突发性功能的进步是一项雄心勃勃且具有挑战性的任务，需要来自世界各地的研究人员的参与。本次会议将汇集领先的研究人员，分享他们在生物、纳米和信息技术方面的成就，并探讨BNI融合的潜力。BNI融合会议将为学生提供一个独特的机会，体验由跨学科领域的杰出专家所做的讲座。将安排海报环节，让年轻的研究人员展示他们的研究成果。除了在专题讨论会期间提供给每位与会者的会议记录（以CD-ROM出版以方便多媒体）外，预期还将在档案期刊的特刊上发表一些选定的论文。

PROPOSAL NO.: CTS-0502767PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS: C-M HOINSTITUTION: UCLA INTERNATIONAL BIO-NANO-INFORMATION (BNI) FUSION CONFERENCEThis grant is for partial funding for the Bio-Nano-Information (BNI) Fusion Conference to be held in Marina del Rey, CA on July 20-22, 2005. NSF support will pay travel expenses and meeting costs for graduate students, and enable approximately 40 students to attend the conference. The intellectual merit of the proposed conference involves primarily the exchange of technical information in an emerging area. Observation of processes in nature (e.g. cellular function at the nano scale resulting in macroscopic structures and higher-order functionalities) leads towards a compelling approach consisting of fusing biotechnology, nanotechnology, and information science, which will enrich the development of revolutionary application-specific technologies. Fusion of bio-nano-informatics will culminate in systemic architectures that will rival those occurring in nature. Fundamental comprehension of how the interplay of these three areas can be manipulated on the molecular level to produce enhanced, emergent properties and will address the question of how much further it is possible to "push the envelope". The broader impacts of the proposal are as follows. Making advancements in emergent functionality through technology fusion is an ambitious and challenging task, which needs the participation of researchers from around the world. This conference will bring leading researchers together to share their accomplishments in bio, nano and informatics technologies, as well as to explore the potential of BNI fusion. The BNI Fusion Conference will provide students a unique opportunity to experience lectures given by preeminent specialists covering wide varieties of interdisciplinary fields. A poster session will be arranged for young researchers to present their findings. In addition to the proceedings (published on CD-ROM to facilitate multimedia) provided to each participant at the time of the symposium, selected papers are expected to be published in a special issue of an archival journal.
