There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
This talk focuses on research opportunities for Industrial Engineers (IE) in the area of engineered decision systems.
We start with an overview of the national and global trends that have had or will have significant impact on the IE research enterprise. We will then discuss the upcoming reorganization of the Engineering Directorate and its implications for IE researchers. Given these exogenous constraints, we will discuss potential strategies for maintaining/enhancing competitiveness of IE researchers in securing extramural funding.
In light of the strategic research areas identified by the Engineering Directorate, we will focus on engineered decision systems as a potential target area for IE researchers. The talk will present current NSF investments in the area, ranging from manufacturing and service to infrastructure systems. Finally, upcoming opportunities for multidisciplinary collaborative research in this area will be highlighted.
