Workshop: Blue Skies Manufacturing Workshop at the 2017 NAMRC/MSEC; Los Angeles, California; June 4-7, 2017

该奖项在北美最大的制造业会议期间启动了一项新的活动，即“蓝天制造研讨会”。该会议是由美国机械工程师学会主办的2017年国际制造科学与工程会议和由制造工程师学会北美制造研究所主办的第45届北美制造研究年会的共同所在地。本次会议将于2017年6月4日至7日举行，由南加州大学主办。这是研讨会的理想场所，旨在确定未来十多年制造业的大胆愿景，并确定实现这一大胆愿景所需的基础研究。这两个在制造工程领域领先的会议是工业、政府实验室和学术机构之间的全球桥梁。蓝天活动将包括：1)工作坊组织者和其他人的简短介绍；2) 6,8位制造业思想领袖的演讲；3)研讨会参与者、NSF项目主管、制造业思想领袖和跨部门先进制造国家项目办公室工作人员之间的互动。演讲者将从一页纸的摘要中选出；他们参加研讨会的旅费将由该奖项提供。评审团将对参赛作品进行评估并选出优胜者。制造工程师协会已承诺推出一个新的社会层面的奖项，大卫·多恩菲尔德制造愿景奖，以最好的展示。该研讨会预计将有至少80名与会者参加，旨在成为年度活动的第一个实例，该活动将有助于阐明和发展广泛的制造业愿景，并促进对该愿景的支持。这一愿景将成为政策制定者、联邦资助机构、制定自己的制造战略的公司、大学研究人员和其他人的有用资源。支持将包括(1)注册费，以及(2)演讲者和pi的差旅费。摘要征集通过美国制造工程师学会和美国机械工程师学会发布；提交的申请要经过会议委员会的遴选程序。评分最高的应用程序将被邀请进行完整的演示。会议结束后，“蓝天”愿景的总结将作为北美制造业研究所的白皮书发表。

This award initiates a new activity, the "Blue Skies Manufacturing Workshop" during North America's largest manufacturing conference. The conference is the co-located 2017 International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the 45th Annual North American Manufacturing Research Conference sponsored by the North American Manufacturing Research Institution of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. This conference will take place from June 4-7, 2017 and is hosted by the University of Southern California. This is the ideal venue for the workshop, which is designed to identify bold visions for the manufacturing sector more than ten years in the future, and to identify the required basic research needed to achieve that bold vision. These two leading conferences in the Manufacturing Engineering field act as global bridges between industries, government laboratories, and academic institutions. Blue Skies Activities will include: 1) Brief introductory presentations by Workshop organizers and others; 2) Presentations by 6 ,8 manufacturing thought leaders; 3) Interactions among workshop participants, NSF program directors, Manufacturing thought leaders, and staff of the interagency Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office. The speakers will be selected from one-page abstracts; their travel to the workshop will be supported by the award. A panel of judges will evaluate the presentations and decide upon a winner. The Society of Manufacturing Engineers has pledged to introduce a new society-level award, the David Dornfeld Manufacturing Vision Award, to the best presentation. The workshop, expected to be attended by at least 80 attendees of the conference, is intended to be the first instance of an annual event that will help articulate and develop a broad manufacturing vision, and to catalyze support for that vision. The vision will be a useful resource for policy makers, federal funding agencies, companies developing their own manufacturing strategies, university researchers, and others.The support will cover (1) the registration fees, and (2) the travel fees for the speakers and PIs. The call for abstracts is disseminated through the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers; the submitted applications go through a selection process by the conference committee. The highest rated applications will be invited to give full presentations. After the conference, a summary of the Blue Skies visions will be published as a North American Manufacturing Research Institute white paper.
