This grant provides funding to organize and conduct a one-day workshop to explore the future of multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) and its ability to advance the design of complex systems. The objectives of the workshop are to: (1) identify and document promising future directions for MDO and related research, (2) articulate successful industrial implementations of MDO and identify the challenges with practical implementation of MDO methods and tools, (3) explore relationships between ongoing complex systems design initiatives and MDO, and (4) define affinity groups and target specific proposal solicitations and research opportunities. The workshop will engage 50 people from academia, industry, and government agencies by inviting participants from a wide range of engineering and design communities based on the Steering Committee?s extensive network of contacts. The results of the workshop will be documented in a report that will be distributed through a website and an email list-serve that is maintained by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics? MDO Technical Committee. If successful, the workshop will identify future research directions in MDO and new synergies with related engineering disciplines and complex systems design initiatives. While many of MDO?s founders are still active and engaged in the community, the focus of MDO has shifted dramatically in the past decade as new faculty and researchers are finding novel ways to use and deploy MDO methods and tools to a wide array of problems. MDO is thus at a cross-roads, and this workshop will help ensure that its future remains bright. Meanwhile, understanding the barriers to its implementation in industry will enable future advancements and allow MDO to realize its full potential. MDO methods and tools will also have much broader impact if a wider audience is engaged in the research. Thus, researchers and engineers outside of the MDO community (e.g., complex systems, systems engineering) will be invited to the workshop to help identify strategies for reaching broader audiences through synergistic efforts. The long-term goal of the workshop is to help reposition MDO as a practical tool for the design of complex engineered systems that can help overcome the cost overruns, schedule delays, and ensuing problems that currently plague many design and development programs.

这笔赠款提供资金来组织和举办为期一天的研讨会，以探索多学科设计优化 (MDO) 的未来及其推进复杂系统设计的能力。 研讨会的目标是：(1) 确定并记录 MDO 及相关研究有希望的未来方向，(2) 阐明 MDO 的成功工业实施，并确定 MDO 方法和工具实际实施的挑战，(3) 探索关系正在进行的复杂系统设计计划和 MDO 之间的关系，(4) 定义亲和团体并针对具体的提案征集和研究机会。 该研讨会将邀请来自学术界、工业界和政府机构的 50 名人士参加，并根据指导委员会广泛的联系网络邀请来自广泛的工程和设计界的参与者。 研讨会的结果将记录在一份报告中，该报告将通过美国航空航天研究所维护的网站和电子邮件列表服务分发？ MDO 技术委员会。 如果成功，研讨会将确定多域作战的未来研究方向以及与相关工程学科和复杂系统设计举措的新协同作用。 虽然许多 MDO 创始人仍然活跃并参与社区活动，但在过去十年中，随着新教师和研究人员正在寻找新的方法来使用和部署 MDO 方法和工具来解决各种问题，MDO 的重点发生了巨大变化。 因此，MDO 正处于十字路口，本次研讨会将有助于确保其未来保持光明。 同时，了解其在行业中实施的障碍将有助于未来的进步，并让 MDO 充分发挥其潜力。 如果有更广泛的受众参与研究，MDO 方法和工具也将产生更广泛的影响。 因此，MDO 社区之外的研究人员和工程师（例如复杂系统、系统工程）将被邀请参加研讨会，以帮助确定通过协同努力接触更广泛受众的策略。 研讨会的长期目标是帮助将 MDO 重新定位为复杂工程系统设计的实用工具，帮助克服当前困扰许多设计和开发项目的成本超支、进度延误以及随之而来的问题。
