Intellectual Merit:This grant is for support for thirteen US academic researchers and educators to participate in the 8th International Symposium on Process Systems Engineering (PSE 2003), which will be held in Kunming, China, January 5-10, 2004. The purpose of the triennial seires of conferences is to bring together the worldwide community of researchers and practitioners who are involved in the creation and application of computing and information technologies (IT) to address problems associated with the design and operation of process and products in the chemical and related industries. This is the first time the conference is to be held in China, in recognition of the growing body of research in this domain originating in that country. The special focus of the meeting is on how PSE methodologies and IT-based tools can support the high-level business decisions required in the global process industries. In keeping with this focus, the conference organization, program and attendance involves researchers and decision makers from a broad range of industries based in Europe, the US, and Asia. Broader Impact:One of the key thematic tracks of the conference is on the integration of PSE research into the educational process. Topics that will be addressed include developments in computer aided education tools as well as curriculum innovations that will expose students to the impact of technical decisions on broad societal and business issues. As in the IT and computer science communities in general, women researchers are underrepresented in the PSE domain. To help broaden the participation of women in the PSE domain, travel support is to be provided for the junior woman faculty whose paper has been accepted for conference presentation. This activity will enhance the infrastructure for research and education by exposing the faculty of the US delegation to their peers in Europe, Asia and the Americas and facilitate networking and the establishment of collaborations in research and the development of educational materials.

智力贡献：这笔赠款用于支持13名美国学术研究人员和教育工作者参加将于2004年1月5日至10日在中国昆明举行的第八届过程系统工程国际研讨会（PSE 2003）。每三年举办一次的系列会议旨在将全球范围内参与计算和信息技术 (IT) 的创建和应用的研究人员和从业者聚集在一起，以解决与计算机和信息技术 (IT) 相关的问题。化学及相关行业的工艺和产品的设计和操作。 这是该会议首次在中国举行，以表彰该领域源自中国的越来越多的研究。 会议的特别重点是 PSE 方法和基于 IT 的工具如何支持全球流程工业所需的高层业务决策。 为了与这一重点保持一致，会议的组织、议程和出席人数涉及来自欧洲、美国和亚洲各行各业的研究人员和决策者。 更广泛的影响：会议的关键主题之一是将 PSE 研究纳入教育过程。 将讨论的主题包括计算机辅助教育工具的发展以及课程创新，这些创新将使学生了解技术决策对广泛社会和商业问题的影响。 与整个 IT 和计算机科学界一样，女性研究人员在 PSE 领域的代表性不足。 为了帮助扩大女性在 PSE 领域的参与，将为论文已被接受参加会议演示的初级女教师提供差旅支持。 这项活动将通过向欧洲、亚洲和美洲的同行展示美国代表团的教师队伍，加强研究和教育的基础设施，并促进在研究和教材开发方面的网络和合作。
