The project is to host a series of two workshops during 2017, at the IEEE Infocom 2017 conference and the ACM MobiCom 2017 conference respectively. The workshops are expected to bring together about 40 members of the wireless networking and mobile computing community for an integrated workshop spanning a half-day, to be held at these two venues. The IEEE Infocom event will tentatively be held on May 5, 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA and the ACM MobiCom event will be held in mid to late October 2017 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The workshops will help influence future research and development in wireless networking and mobile computing systems. The award outcomes will fuel inter-disciplinary collaborations between members of various communities (e.g., wireless communications, application developers, systems, security, etc.). The reports generated by the workshop can also educate the general public on the importance of wireless research, the challenges, and the enormous potential. Attendees at the workshops organized as part of this project will discuss and debate the critical challenges in wireless networking and mobile computing systems, and articulate a vision for conducting fundamental and inter-disciplinary research in the area. A tangible outcome of the workshops will be reports that will (i) identify major issues affecting future wireless research; (ii) expose the research community to new and exciting interdisciplinary problems; and (iii) stimulate far-reaching future research initiatives, and collaborations that would help along the evolution of the wireless research community. A core group of participants will be invited individually in each workshop, will the rest will be picked through an open call-process. The workshop will have a combination of researchers and practitioners, across core wireless and mobile systems areas, as well as from some application areas. Invitees will also include a combination of junior, mid-level, senior researchers from academia, industry, and government agencies, with women and underrepresented members of the community being especially encouraged to attend and contribute to the workshop.

该项目将在2017年举办一系列的两个研讨会，分别在IEEE Infocom 2017会议和ACM Infocom 2017会议上。预计这些讲习班将汇集无线网络和移动的计算界的大约40名成员，在这两个地点举行为期半天的综合讲习班。IEEE Infocom活动暂定于2017年5月5日在美国格鲁吉亚亚特兰大举行，ACM Infocom活动将于2017年10月中下旬在犹他湖城举行。 这些研讨会将有助于影响无线网络和移动的计算系统的未来研究和开发。该奖项的结果将推动不同社区成员之间的跨学科合作（例如，无线通信、应用开发者、系统、安全等）。研讨会产生的报告也可以教育公众关于无线研究的重要性，挑战和巨大的潜力。作为本项目一部分组织的研讨会的与会者将讨论和辩论无线网络和移动的计算系统的关键挑战，并阐明在该领域进行基础和跨学科研究的愿景。研讨会的一个具体成果将是报告，这些报告将（i）确定影响未来无线研究的主要问题;（ii）使研究界接触新的和令人兴奋的跨学科问题;（iii）激发影响深远的未来研究倡议和合作，这将有助于沿着无线研究界的发展。每个研讨会将单独邀请一组核心参与者，其余的将通过公开的电话程序挑选。研讨会将有来自核心无线和移动的系统领域以及一些应用领域的研究人员和从业人员参加。受邀者还将包括来自学术界、工业界和政府机构的初级、中级和高级研究人员，特别鼓励妇女和代表性不足的社区成员参加讲习班并为讲习班作出贡献。
