Workshop: Technological Innovations and Basic Research in Communications and Information Theory Workshop, Dallas, TX

该项目将汇集工业界和学术界的专家委员会，审查基础研究和技术创新，其双重目标是：(1)确定通信和信息理论中技术创新的财务影响，以及(2)确定用于开发这些创新的研究模型。该委员会将在德克萨斯州达拉斯的南卫理公会大学校园召开为期一天的会议，以发展研究结果。然后将编写一份报告草案并提交委员会征求意见。最终报告将提交给NSF，发布在新大的网站上，并应要求通过硬拷贝分发。该报告将简明扼要地概述被认为是通信领域最重要的技术进步，其估计的财务影响，以及导致这些进步的基础研究环境。该报告还将包括对未来研究规划的建议，其目标是增加或维持通信和信息理论基础研究对技术创新的影响。

This project will bring together a committee of experts from industry and academia to examine basic research and technological innovations, with the dual goals of: (1) Determining the financial impact of technological innovations in communications and information theory, and (2) Ascertaining the research model that was used in developing these innovations. The committee will be convened for a one-day meeting on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX, to develop the findings. A draft report will then be prepared and submitted to the committee for comments. A final report will then be submitted to NSF, posted on the SMU web site, and distributed via hardcopy upon request. The report will contain a succinct summary of what are considered the most significant technological advances in communications, their estimated financial impact, and the basic research environment that lead to these advances. The report will also include recommendations for future research planning, with the goal of increasing or sustaining the influence of basic research in communications and information theory on technological innovations.
