ABSTRACT
The International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) Workshop on Cyber-Physical-Human Systems (CPHS) brings together researchers and practitioners to gain understanding from a range of disciplines united in CPHS systems. This specific workshop looks to broaden participation in CPHS in the uniquely interdisciplinary and intersection of modeling, analysis and control of integrated CPHS and social and societal aspects of CPHS. The workshop is in Houston Texas, December, 2022.The CPHS community is uniquely positioned to contribute to this goal. By centering the role of humans amidst technology, our subcommunity lowers barriers to enter these fields for researchers with expertise in human-centered fields.
The Cyber-Physical-Human Systems (CPHS) workshop integrates a broad community of researchers from the core technical fields of control, communication, networking, sensing, and computing with sociotechnical fields including human factors, ergonomics, accessibility, human/computer interaction, rehabilitation, neuroengineering, healthcare, public health, agriculture, and civil infrastructure. Importantly for the broader Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) community, research in this workshop centers on the role of people in the creation of new knowledge and technologies. Broadening participation in the CPS community is critical to ensure research impacts a greater diversity of communities, technologies, and industries than have been historically prioritized. The CPHS subcommunity?s focus on the human interface with technology provides a uniquely powerful draw to technical fields that have marginalized non-majority researchers. This workshop will lead by example in representing and amplifying diverse voices through innovative programming, including the creation of a cohort of CPHS Fellows and presentation of a plenary focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in our research field.
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.
PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT
Disclaimer
This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
This project supported activities at the 4th IFAC Workshop on Cyber-Physical-Human Systems (CPHS) designed to contribute to the goal of broadening participation in the cyber-physical systems community through the control, communication, networking, sensing, and computing fields. We believe CPHS community is uniquely positioned to contribute to this goal by centering the role of humans amidst technology.
We pursued the following two activities on this project:
1. CPHS Fellows -- fund travel and registration costs for students and early-career researchers from historically underrepresented groups to participate in the workshop;
2. BP-CPHS Plenary -- fund travel and honorarium for plenary speaker on the interdisciplinary and intersectional nature of human-centered engineering research, including recognizing and countering bias and advancing social injustice in CPHS research.
Regarding objective (1.), we succesfully funded 13 early-career researchers from historically-underrepresented groups to participate in the conference as "CPHS Fellows". In addition to financial support (we reimbursed their total cost of attendance), we provided mentorship, a "handbook" to guide them through the meeting, and gave them the opportunity to participate in a "lightning talk" highlighting the research and interests of the Fellows.
Regarding objective (2.), we succesfully funded a plenary speaker who is a preeminent researcher and leader in the field: Dean of Engineering Ayanna Howard from The Ohio State University.
