Special Session with SmartSys workshop: NSF Funding Opportunities in Smart Service Systems and other Innovation Program
Session Moderator: Dr. Alexandra Medina-Borja, Ph.D.
NSF Program Director, PFI: BIC - Smart Service Systems
Industrial Innovation and Partnerships Division, IIP
In this session NSF program director Dr. Alexandra Medina-Borja will discuss the focus and scope of the Partnerships for Innovation: Building Innovation Capacity program with a focus on Smart Service Systems. Her presentation will include insights about common characteristics of winning proposals, and pitfalls to avoid while writing them. Alexandra will also present the different programs in the Industrial Innovation and Partnerships Division and cover the appropriateness of certain types of proposals to programs in the Fundamental Research divisions as opposed to the Innovation Division. Participants can bring a paragraph summarizing their ideas to discuss potential fit to the programs above.
Interested participants are encouraged to submit a one-page NSF style write up (Overview, Intellectual Merit, Broader Impacts) using the following submission site. http://mpsc.umbc.edu/smartsys/form.html
First International Workshop on Smart Service Systems (SmartSys)
Smart service systems span across a variety of socio-technical facets comprising of devices, people, organizations, environments and technologies to sense, actuate, control and assess the physical, cyber and societal artifacts of the human service systems. Besides being self-adaptive and fault-tolerant, such systems need to be designed in such a way that they can continuously increase the quality and productivity, as well as the compliance and sustainability of the smart services it offers. Understanding the societal and economic impact and human-centered aspects of a smart system or technology in advance and designing the system a-priori with potential value-added services can help to spur the discoveries of new tools, methodologies and innovative services.
Nurturing the development of smart service systems seeks for inter- and trans-disciplinary crosscutting research threads from system and operational engineering, computer science and information systems, social and behavioral science, computational modeling and industrial engineering. The goal of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the fundamental knowledge and principles of smart service systems that enable the value co-creation in sensing, actuating, data analytics, learning, cognition, and control of human centric cyber-physical-social systems.
