Forum on Integrated Sensors for Cybersystems (FISC-2030)

该奖项授予半导体研究公司（SRC）与爱尔兰国家科学基金会一起举办传感器技术领域的研讨会。重点不是传感器网络，而是更低级的电路和设备技术，包括新兴的生物纳米传感器技术如何产生可能的影响。各种应用领域，例如，从民用基础设施到生物传感将被审查，主要集中在电路和设备技术。来自美国和欧洲的各种相关行业成员将被邀请参加本次研讨会，但出于明显的原因，只有美国参与者才能获得NSF的支持。讲习班的结果可能产生更广泛的影响，尽管有些技术性，但预期会非常大。其中一个目标是探索可能导致小型企业和初创企业的新技术。本着这种精神，几位在创业技术方面有经验的美国学术参与者也被邀请参加。从长远来看，传感器也可能通过在新课程和大学课程中采用传感器技术而使教育领域受益，但本提案不打算从事此类活动。

This award is made to the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) to hold a workshop in the area of sensor technologies together with the Irish counterpart of the National Science Foundation. The focus is not as much on sensor networks, but more on how lower level circuits and device technology including emerging bio-nano sensor technologies can have a possible impact. Various application areas e.g., from civil infrastructure to bio-sensing will be examined, with primary focus on circuits and device technologies. Various relevant industry constituents, both from the US and Europe, are going to be invited to this workshop, but for obvious reasons only the US participants will be able to receive benefits of NSF support. The potential broader impact of the outcome of the workshop, albeit of somewhat technical nature, is expectedly very large. One of the several goals is to explore new technologies that may lead to small businesses and startups. In this vein, the several US academic participants with experience with startup technologies are being invited as well. In the long run sensors may benefit the educational arena as well via adoption of sensor technology in new courses and university curriculum, but the present proposal does not plan to be engaged in such activities.
