This award funds a visioning workshop with the goal of bringing together leading researchers and practitioners in computing systems (architecture, operating systems, languages/compilers) to reflect on the research progress in the overlapped areas of the three fields and to discuss the grand challenges for the fields so that they can rise to meet the demands of modern computing in synergy.The workshop will have focused discussions in the context of four important application domains: Internet of Things (IoT)/infrastructure, augmenting Human Abilities/Artificial Intelligence, security and privacy, and complexity management/environment. It will discuss how inter-disciplinary research in computing systems could help meet the grand challenges in these domains, such as the lack of principles and techniques that reliably and efficiently support large and heterogeneous ensembles of IoT devices and humans, the safety and efficiency barriers facing the deployment of Artificial Intelligence, and the vulnerabilities in both hardware and software that threaten to undermine security and privacy.The principal investigators, along with workshop participants, will produce a detailed workshop report that will outline the grand challenges and promising directions for the further development of inter-disciplinary research in computing systems. The report will be made be publicly available through the internet as well as professional journals and magazines.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.

该奖项资助举办一个愿景研讨会，旨在将计算系统（体系结构、操作系统、语言/编译器）领域的领先研究人员和从业者聚集在一起，反思这三个领域重叠领域的研究进展，并讨论计算机系统面临的巨大挑战。研讨会将重点讨论四个重要应用领域：物联网（IoT）/基础设施、增强人类能力/人工智能、安全和隐私，和复杂性管理/环境。它将讨论计算系统的跨学科研究如何帮助应对这些领域的巨大挑战，例如缺乏可靠有效地支持大型异构物联网设备和人类集合的原理和技术，面临的安全和效率障碍人工智能的部署，以及威胁破坏安全和隐私的硬件和软件中的漏洞。主要研究人员与研讨会参与者将制作一份详细的研讨会报告，概述进一步发展的重大挑战和有希望的方向计算系统的跨学科研究。该报告将通过互联网以及专业期刊和杂志公开发布。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
