Workshop: Exchanging Cyber-Infrastructure Themes in Engineering Design

该奖项旨在为“交换工程设计中的网络基础设施主题”研讨会提供支持，该研讨会将来自不同学科（机械，土木，材料，工业）的工程设计研究人员与信息技术研究人员聚集在一起，探索如何通过网络基础设施企业支持预测产品实现并为其提供支持。研讨会的目标有三个：1）确定工程设计（艾德）社区中与CI相关的研究主题; 2）在艾德内部以及艾德研究人员与其他学科之间建立关系; 3）促进与潜在的行业开发商和网络基础设施用户的互动。2研讨会将于2005年2月28日至3月1日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行，为期一天半。参与将限于30名与会者沿着组委会。申请者将提交一份声明，说明他们认为目前无法用当今的计算能力解决的关键问题，组委会将根据这些声明选择参与者。预计该研讨会将对工程设计产生广泛的影响，通过对研究需求的识别，为未来的预测性产品和系统实现提供基础工具。研讨会的结果和建议将在网络上和通过提交给国家科学基金会的白色文件以及在专业会议上向更广泛的社区传播。

This award is to provide support for a workshop "Exchanging Cyber-Infrastructure Themes in Engineering Design" that will bring researchers in engineering design from different disciplines (mechanical, civil, materials, industrial) together with information technology researchers to explore how predictive product realization can be supported by and provide support to the cyberinfrastructure enterprise. The objectives of the workshop are threefold: 1) identify CI-related research themes within the engineering design (ED) community; 2) build relationships within ED and between ED researchers and other disciplines; and 3) foster interactions with potential industry developers and users of the cyberinfrastructure.The workshop will be a 1-1/2 day workshop held in Arlington, VA February 28 - March 1, 2005. Participation will be limited to 30 attendees along with the organizing committee. Applicants will submit a statement identifying what they believe to be key issues that cannot currently be solved with today's computing capabilities and participants will be selected by the organizing committee based upon these statements.This workshop is expected to have broad impacts for engineering design across the engineering disciplines, through the identification of research needs to provide the foundational tools for future predictive product and system realization. Findings and recommendations of the workshop will be disseminated both on the web and through white papers presented to NSF and to the broader community at professional meetings.
