摘要：

An overview on converging technologies that are the primary drivers of the 4th Industrial Revolution will be presented, followed by the new developments in advanced manufacturing, nano-, bio-, information-technologies and cognitive sciences.  Nano science and engineering is one of the frontiers in transformative and translational research. Led by NSF over the past decade, converging interdisciplinary areas of nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive science offer the potential of improving human lives as well as society well-being and productivity. Nanotechnology and manufacturing are very efficient way in the creation of new materials, devices and systems at the molecular and larger levels which require simulation in the multi-scale mechanics. Smart materials, intelligent structures, and additive manufacturing,  on the other hand have also seen new advances. Mechanics is the common thread among these interdisciplinary areas. Research and challenges in nanotechnology, simulation-based engineering and sciences, multi-scale systems, advanced manufacturing, smart materials and other related areas are to be presented.
