Collaborative Research: Workshop: Integrated Design of Active Dynamic Systems (IDADS); Champaign, Illinois

本次研讨会将为50名与会者提供差旅支持，其中许多人来自代表性不足的团体，有机会探索最先进的知识差距，实践和未来的研究方向，用于集成设计和主动系统的控制。研讨会将由三个部分组成，每个部分包括两个全体会议和一个分组会议。每一节都将讨论主动系统集成设计和控制中的三个关键主题之一：1）主动系统设计中的最新技术和基础知识差距，2）将主动系统设计优化工具推向实用化，3）为主动系统设计定义未来的科学策略。分组会议将由五组10名异质研究人员组成，他们将解决与每个主题相关的问题。每个小组将编写一份书面报告，并创建一个Slack工作区，供所有参与者在整个研讨会期间和之后进行公开对话，研讨会组织者将编写一份最终报告。研讨会将导致创建一个汇聚研究人员的小组，该小组将联合收割机的专业知识结合在主动系统的集成设计和控制方面。这个小组将很好地解决在设计和控制的交叉点的基本问题，并创造必要的方法和工具集，将理论转化为实践，为广泛的重要应用。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This workshop will provide travel support for 50 participants, many of which are from under-represented groups, the opportunity to explore the state-of-the-art, knowledge gaps, practice, and future research directions for the integrated design and control of active systems. The workshop will consist of three sections, each of which consists of two plenary talks followed by a breakout session. Each section will address one of three critical topics in the integrated design and control of active systems: 1) State-of-the-Art and Fundamental Knowledge Gaps in Active System Design, 2) Moving Active System Design Optimization Tools toward Practical Utility, and 3) Defining Future Scientific Strategies for Active System Design. The breakout sessions will consist of five groups of 10 heterogeneous researchers that will address questions related to each topic. Each group will produce a written report of their conversations, a Slack workspace will be created for open conversation of all participants throughout and after the workshop, and the workshop organizers will write a final report.This workshop will lead to the creation of a convergent group of researchers that combine expertise in the integrated design and control of active systems. This group will be well-situated to address the fundamental questions at the intersection of design and controls, and to create the methods and toolsets necessary to translate the theory to practice for a wide range of important applications.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
