CommNet2 will bring together UK academics from the broad ICT space in order to derive and deliver a coherent national research programme that makes a real impact on the world stage. The increasingly complex multi-disciplinary engineering challenges associated with 5G and beyond, edge and core networking infrastructure, the Internet of Things (IOT), Data Analytics, Federated Cloud Fabric and the Tactile Internet necessitates a cross-disciplinary approach to research spanning knowledge sets from the underpinning fundamentals of materials through devices and subsystems to integrated systems, architectures and protocols. CommNet2 seeks to consolidate such an effort at the UK national scale to address the new challenges faced by society. Many of these challenges map against evolving EPSRC priorities for the IoT, Big Data Analytics, Robotics and Autonomous Systems, Towards an Integrated Information Infrastructure, Complex Systems and Cognitive Computing, Security & Privacy and the emerging Research and Innovation Internet Environment. Mapped against the EPSRC ICT Theme Priorities, a three year programme of activities is proposed that include networking and training events; international research-horizon scanning; best practice challenge workshops and conferences; and opportunities for early career researchers.The overarching aim of CommNet2 is to develop a robust framework in order to streamline and facilitate the academic innovation process towards delivering coherent and ground-breaking research directions shared by the communications and computer science disciplines to tackle 21st century ICT challenges. As a community driven response, the network will bring together academics from the electrical engineering, electronics, communications, networking, mathematics and computer science disciplines to achieve enhanced coordination of these researchers. Specifically, the network will create a vehicle enabling coordinated discussions and formulations of future research bids, activities and world-leading publications that establish internationally leading research activities.CommNet2 will benefit the UK by: mobilising the UK's academic and industrial communities in the ICT space to undertake world-leading research programmes; providing younger ICT researchers with training and networking opportunities to develop into tomorrow's leaders; and building a strong, vibrant and cohesive community across the communications and computer science disciplines. The UK has long had global strength in the ICT arena. From pioneering mobile operators through to a rich heritage of start-ups and consultancies we have been at the forefront of wireless and wireline communications for decades. This reputation has led to innovation, continued inward investment from major global players and the establishment of important clusters around the UK, such as Cambridge, Shoreditch, Bristol and Northern Ireland, the Surrey 5GIC as well as the successful phases of the m-VCE. The advent of 5G, superfast broadband, the IoT, cloud computing and the Tactile Internet provides an opportunity to reinforce the UK's strengths in ICT. Through CommNet2, the academic community, by working closely with the relevant industry and organisations, will catalyse a step-change in ICT research for the benefit of society.

Commnet2将从广泛的ICT领域汇集英国学者，以得出并提供一项连贯的国家研究计划，从而对世界舞台产生真正的影响。越来越复杂的多学科工程挑战与5G及其他，边缘和核心网络基础架构，物联网（IoT），数据分析，联合云结构和触觉互联网相关的跨学科方法，以通过设备和子系统的材料基础上的材料基础和集成的系统组成的建立和集成的建立材料的基础，以实现知识集。 Commnet2试图在英国国家规模上巩固这一努力，以应对社会面临的新挑战。这些挑战中的许多挑战映射了反对IOT，大数据分析，机器人技术和自主系统的EPSRC优先级，这些挑战朝着综合信息基础架构，复杂的系统和认知计算，安全与隐私以及新兴的研究与创新互联网环境。根据EPSRC ICT主题优先事项映射，提出了三年的活动计划，其中包括网络和培训活动；国际研究扫描；最佳实践挑战研讨会和会议；和早期职业研究人员的机会。Commnet2的总体目的是开发一个强大的框架，以简化和促进学术创新过程，以提供通信和计算机科学学科共享连贯和开创性的研究指示，以应对21世纪ICT挑战。作为社区驱动的响应，该网络将从电气工程，电子，通信，网络，数学和计算机科学学科中汇集到学者，以增强这些研究人员的协调。具体而言，该网络将创建一辆车辆，实现未来的研究竞标，活动和世界领先的出版物的协调讨论和表述，以建立国际领先的研究活动。Commnet2将受益于英国：动员英国在ICT领域的学术和工业社区，以实现世界领先的世界领先地领导世界领先的研究计划；为年轻的ICT研究人员提供培训和联网机会，以发展为明天的领导者；并在通信和计算机科学学科中建立一个强大，充满活力和凝聚力的社区。英国长期以来一直在ICT竞技场拥有全球实力。从开创性的移动运营商到丰富的初创企业和咨询公司，我们一直处于无线和有线通信的最前沿。这种声誉导致了创新，全球主要参与者的内向投资以及在英国建立重要集群，例如剑桥，肖尔迪奇，布里斯托尔和北爱尔兰，萨里5GIC以及M-VCE的成功阶段。 5G，Superfast宽带，物联网，云计算和触觉互联网的出现为加强英国在ICT中的优势提供了机会。通过Commnet2，通过与相关行业和组织紧密合作，学术界将催化ICT研究的逐步改变，以使社会受益。
