2015 WiFiUS Workshop and Principal Investigator Meeting

2015年wifi研讨会和首席研究员会议于2015年12月10日在美国加州圣地亚哥举行。本次会议召集了所有由美国国家科学基金会和Tekes或芬兰科学院通过WiFiUS项目共同资助的主要研究者。这是WiFiUS NSF计划征集中指定的两次年度会议中的第一次。会议为主要研究人员、行业代表和资助机构代表提供了一个机会，以审查资助项目的研究进展，确定新的研究方向，讨论研究项目的范围，以确定差距和/或重叠，并使项目相互促进。会议也开放给一般的研究界成员，他们不是由该计划资助的，参加和参与讨论和小组分组会议，从而帮助建立一个多样化的国际研究合作者的社区。本次研讨会有助于在无线网络的关键领域建立和培养一个充满活力的国际研究和教育社区。考虑到世界之间的联系日益紧密，以及向单一全球无线标准的融合，本次研讨会将加强和加速研究团队之间的创新和合作，并有助于确定国际研究工作的未来方向。

The 2015 WiFiUS workshop and principal investigator meeting is held on December 10, 2015, in San Diego, California, USA. This meeting convenes all the principal investigators who have been jointly funded through the WiFiUS program by the National Science Foundation of US and either Tekes or The Academy of Finland of Finland. This is the first of two annual meetings specified in the WiFiUS NSF program solicitation.The meeting offers an opportunity for the principal investigators, industry representatives, and funding agencies representatives, to review the research progress of the funded projects, identify new research directions, discuss the spectrum of the research projects allowing for identification of gaps and/or overlaps, and enabling cross-fertilization of the projects. The meeting is also open for the general research community members, who are not funded by the program, to attend and participate in the discussions and group break-out sessions, thus helping build a community of diverse international research collaborators. This workshop helps create and foster a vibrant international research and education community in the key area of wireless networking. Given how the world is increasingly connected, and the convergence towards a single set of global wireless standards, this workshop enhances and accelerates the innovation and collaboration between the teams of researchers, and helps to identify future directions for international research efforts.
