Bioacoustic Monitoring in the Terrestrial Environment: A Workshop at the UCR James Reserve, July, 2008

博士们已获得一笔赠款。Daniel T. Blumstein, Charles E. Taylor和Kung Yao将在加州大学洛杉矶分校主持一个研讨会，该研讨会将把生物声学传感器阵列技术的当前和潜在用户与工程师和计算机科学专家聚集在一起，以确定需求和当前能力，并优先考虑技术开发和研究问题。会议将在詹姆斯保护区（James Reserve）举行，这是加州大学（University of California）的一个野外研究站，以尖端传感器阵列技术的部署程度而闻名。会议将有一系列主题演讲和分组讨论，来自不同领域的研究人员将合作制定立场文件。这项工作的更广泛意义在于促进了健壮的、易于使用的声传感器阵列的开发，该阵列具有适合动物行为和生态学研究人员的用户界面，激发了有前途的学生对这项技术的开发和应用的兴趣，并为未被充分代表的工程专业学生提供了前沿知识和技术经验，以鼓励他们继续深造或继续攻读博士学位。

A grant has been awarded to Drs. Daniel T. Blumstein, Charles E. Taylor and Kung Yao at the University of California Los Angeles to host a workshop that will bring together current and potential users of bioacoustic sensor array technology with engineers and computer science experts to identify needs and current abilities, and to prioritize technology development and research questions.The meeting will be held at the James Reserve, a University of California Field Station notable for the degree to which cutting edge sensor array technology has been deployed. The meeting will have a series of keynote talks and break-out groups where researchers from different fields will collaborate to develop a position paper.The broader significance of this work is to facilitate the development of robust, easy-to-use acoustic sensor arrays with user interfaces appropriate for researchers in animal behavior and ecology, to excite promising students about the development and application of this technology, and to provide underrepresented engineering students a frontier intellectual and technical experience to encourage them to pursue advance study or to continue to the doctorate.
