ABSTRACT:
This talk will provide a broad survey of research areas supported by the Manufacturing Enterprise Systems (MES) and Service Enterprise Systems (SES) programs at NSF. It will also cover a number of NSF-wide initiatives related to systems engineering issues in health care and manufacturing that are also important for prospective proposers, and present a crystal-ball view of possible future initiatives. The talk will conclude with a characterization of winning and losing strategies for proposal writing for the MES and SES programs.
