Workshop on Fostering Diversity in the Design Automation for Emerging Computing Community

拟议的讲习班将使代表性不足的学生了解新兴计算模式研究中取得的重大里程碑，并将试图让他们参与关键的研究问题。该计划还将使他们面临跨学科研究的挑战。此外，研讨会将为与会者提供一个进一步建立联系和潜在指导机会的平台。让来自学术界和工业实验室的妇女和少数群体专家参加讲习班将使后一个目标得以实现。此外，讲习班有可能在新兴计算技术相关领域的（代表性不足的）学生和研究人员中培养社区意识。国家需要将妇女、少数民族和其他代表性不足的群体纳入STEM领域，在科学和工程领域，这是众所周知的，怎么说也不过分。这在与计算相关的领域尤其如此。本提案旨在扩大参与，解决少数群体和妇女在新兴的计算机和微电子设计自动化这一特定领域缺乏代表性的问题。由于研讨会将由代表性不足的研究生以及来自各联邦机构的学术界、工业界、招聘人员和项目主管的领导人参加，它将创造一个强大的网络和指导环境，以加强合作和进一步的机会。

The proposed workshop will expose the underrepresented students to major milestones achieved in research on emerging computing paradigms, and will attempt to engage them in critical research issues. The plan is also to expose them to the challenges of interdisciplinary research. Additionally, the workshop will provide the attendees a platform for further networking and potential mentoring opportunities. The inclusion of women and minority experts from academia as well as industry laboratories in the workshop will make this latter goal achievable. Furthermore, the workshop has the potential to foster a sense of community among (underrepresented) students and researchers in fields related to emerging computing technologies.The national need for including women, minorities and other underrepresented groups in STEM areas e.g., in science and engineering, is well known and cannot be overstated. This is particularly true in fields related to computing. The present proposal aims to broaden participation and addresses the lack of representation of minority and women in the particular area of emerging computing and microelectronic design automation. Since the workshop will be attended by underrepresented graduate students as well as by leaders in academia, industry, recruiters and program directors from various federal agencies, it will create a powerful networking, mentoring environment to enhance collaboration and further opportunities.
