US-Europe Workshop on Biosensing, Bioactuation and Bio-Inspired Systems; Taormina, Italy; June 14-17, 2008

摘要：美国丹佛维拉大学组织了一个美欧研讨会，讨论生物和工程设计与智能系统控制的分层组织，这是一个新兴的技术领域，将在一个集成平台上推进工程和生物、微和纳米技术。2007年11月，美国国家科学基金会在马里兰大学举办了生物传感和生物驱动研讨会，此次研讨会紧随其后。该研讨会定于2008年5月在意大利举行。预计将汇集来自美国和欧洲的专业知识：生物学和生物工程，先进的生物启发材料，纳米和微机械电子学。仿生系统设计需要从生物学理解和工程创新中获益。提议的研讨会将是一个强有力的跨学科努力，将弥合科学与工程之间的差距。本次研讨会将激发国内外人才为生物传感、生物驱动和生物启发系统制定科学和技术路线图。本次研讨会由NSF （CMMI/ENG &; Statistics/MPS）和AFOSR联合支持。

Abstract0819567Rahmatallah ShoureshiUniversity of DenverA US-Europe workshop is organized which will address Hierarchical Organization of Biological and Engineering Design and Control of Intelligent Systems, an emerging technology area that would advance engineering and bio, micro, and nano technologies on an integrated platform. The workshop timely follows foot steps of NSF's Workshop on Biosensing and Bioactuation held at University of Maryland in November 2007.This workshop is scheduled to be held in Italy in May, 2008. It is expected to bring together expertise from US and Europe in: Biology & Bioengineering, Advanced bio-inspired materials, and Nano and Micro Machatronics. Bio-inspired system design needs to benefit from both biological understanding and engineering innovations. The proposed workshop will be a strong interdisciplinary effort that will bridge the gap between science and engineering. This workshop will stimulate diverse domestic and international talents to define a scientific and technological roadmap for biosensing, bioactuation, and bio-inspired systems.This workshop is jointly supported by NSF (CMMI/ENG & Statistics/MPS) and AFOSR.
