In the future, communications systems are expected to be characterized asubiquitous, pervasive, very mobile, and highly distributed, among other at-tributes. In contrast to current systems, such as cellular systems or thecurrent Internet, the reliance on central network components will be muchreduced and ad hoc methods for forming networks will become more preva-lent. Additionally, the number of connected devices, including both sensorsand actuators as well as processors, will increase dramatically and manynetwork devices will operate autonomously. Massive quantities of data ofvarious highly structured formats will need to be accessed and distributedacross these networks. Wireless and wireline systems will interconnect withoptical fiber and free space communications media.This workshop is intended to bring together a distinguished group ofresearch scientists/educators and industry and government experts to discussand identify critical research in communications to support this vision. Theworkshop will provide an opportunity to interact with experts from relatedfields, primarily computer science, working on different aspects of futurecommunication systems. A list of invitees for this workshop is provided inthe appendix.The workshop aims to identify research challenges and opportunities as-sociated with the emerging vision for future communications systems. Weexpect a report to come out of the workshop reflecting the themes discussed.

在未来，通信系统的特征将是无处不在、无处不在、非常移动和高度分布的，以及其他属性。与当前的系统，如蜂窝系统或当前的互联网相比，对中央网络组件的依赖将大大减少，形成网络的特别方法将变得更加先进。此外，包括传感器、执行器和处理器在内的连接设备的数量将大幅增加，许多网络设备将自主运行。各种高度结构化格式的海量数据将需要通过这些网络访问和分发。无线和有线系统将与光纤和自由空间通信介质互连。这次研讨会旨在将一群杰出的研究科学家/教育工作者以及工业和政府专家聚集在一起，讨论并确定通信领域的关键研究，以支持这一愿景。讲习班将提供一个机会，与从事未来通信系统不同方面工作的相关领域的专家，主要是计算机科学专家进行交流。附录中提供了这次研讨会的受邀者名单。研讨会的目的是确定与未来通信系统的新兴愿景相关的研究挑战和机会。我们预计研讨会将发表一份反映所讨论主题的报告。
