0723952 BayoumiDescription: This award is to support a "US-Egypt Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing: Sensors and Wireless Sensor Networks" to be held in Cairo, Egypt in December 2007. The U.S. organizers are Drs. Magdy Bayoumi and Mohamed Elgamel, Department of Computer Science at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette. The Egyptian organizer is Dr. Ayman El-Dessouki, President of the Electronic Research Institute (ERI), Cairo, Egypt. The workshop is to bring together researchers and engineers from both the US and Egypt to discuss multidisciplinary R&D issues in smart sensors design and wireless sensor networks, and their applications in ubiquitous computing. Sessions will be organized to address the concept of sensor nodes, the process of designing hardware and software of this network. Focus will be placed on enabling technologies for the physical layer of a future computing system, wireless protocols for sensor networks, applications in industry, medicine, and entertainment, high performance network infrastructure, and applications in cooperative modeling of large systems, and in social, economic, and cultural fields. The workshop will include plenary sessions and technology-focused parallel sessions. Two panel discussions will be organized to help identify mutual areas of interest and potential collaborations between US and Egyptian researchers. Other countries from the Middle East will be invited to participate, to establish long-term collaborative research projects between US scientists and those from these countries. Intellectual Merit: There is a rapid growth of microsystems and nanosystem technologies which involve sensors and actuators. Sensor technology has enabled a wide variety of current and potential applications and services including wireless communications, biomedical applications, microrobotics, remote sensing and distributed sensor networks for environmental applications. Next-generation smart sensors need to be fully integrated, low cost, reliable, and fully costumed with IC using microsystem technology. Advances in the MEMS technology has enabled a wide variety of smart sensors, miniature in size, and which have applications for biomedical, automotive, military, environmental, and RF wireless communication systems. Integrating these new capabilities of physical devices in the ubiquitous computing is important to enable a high performance distributed network of sensors in this field. The workshop and collaboration between Egypt and the US will result in the transfer of knowledge, opportunities for exchange visits for students and faculty from both countries, and the possibility for formulating specific applied projects involving the industrial and consumer electronics sectors in Egypt. Broader Impact: The main goal of the workshop is to focus on the state of knowledge and the innovative technologies, which involve design, modeling, and fabrication of smart sensors. The organizers will ensure maximum participation of underrepresented groups, the diversity of the participants and the inclusion of junior faculty members, women, and minority and disabled scientists and engineers. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out these joint scientific activities.

0723952 Bayoumi 描述：该奖项旨在支持将于 2007 年 12 月在埃及开罗举办的“美国-埃及普适计算研讨会：传感器和无线传感器网络”。美国组织者是 Drs. 0723952 Bayoumi。 Magdy Bayoumi 和 Mohamed Elgamel，路易斯安那大学拉斐特分校计算机科学系。 埃及组织者是埃及开罗电子研究所 (ERI) 所长 Ayman El-Dessouki 博士。 该研讨会将汇集来自美国和埃及的研究人员和工程师，讨论智能传感器设计和无线传感器网络的多学科研发问题及其在普适计算中的应用。 将组织会议来讨论传感器节点的概念、该网络的硬件和软件的设计过程。 重点将放在未来计算系统物理层的支持技术、传感器网络的无线协议、工业、医学和娱乐中的应用、高性能网络基础设施以及大型系统的协作建模和社会、经济、文化领域。 研讨会将包括全体会议和以技术为重点的平行会议。将组织两次小组讨论，以帮助确定美国和埃及研究人员之间共同感兴趣的领域和潜在的合作。 中东其他国家将受邀参与，在美国科学家与这些国家的科学家之间建立长期合作研究项目。智力优势：涉及传感器和执行器的微系统和纳米系统技术正在快速发展。 传感器技术已经实现了各种当前和潜在的应用和服务，包括无线通信、生物医学应用、微型机器人、遥感和用于环境应用的分布式传感器网络。 下一代智能传感器需要完全集成、低成本、可靠，并完全配备使用微系统技术的 IC。 MEMS 技术的进步使得各种微型智能传感器成为可能，并应用于生物医学、汽车、军事、环境和 RF 无线通信系统。将物理设备的这些新功能集成到普适计算中对于在该领域实现高性能分布式传感器网络非常重要。埃及和美国之间的研讨会和合作将带来知识转移、两国学生和教师互访的机会，以及制定涉及埃及工业和消费电子行业的具体应用项目的可能性。更广泛的影响：研讨会的主要目标是关注知识状况和创新技术，其中涉及智能传感器的设计、建模和制造。组织者将确保代表性不足的群体的最大程度参与、参与者的多样性以及初级教员、女性、少数族裔和残疾科学家和工程师的包容性。 该项目得到了美国-埃及联合基金计划的支持，该计划向两国的科学家和工程师提供赠款，以开展这些联合科学活动。
