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.

CommNet 2将汇集来自广泛的ICT领域的英国学者，以制定和提供一个连贯的国家研究计划，对世界舞台产生真实的影响。与5G及以后、边缘和核心网络基础设施、物联网（IOT）、数据分析、联合云结构和触觉互联网相关的日益复杂的多学科工程挑战需要跨学科的方法来研究，从材料的基础知识到设备和子系统，再到集成系统、架构和协议。CommNet 2寻求在英国全国范围内巩固这一努力，以应对社会面临的新挑战。其中许多挑战与EPSRC在物联网、大数据分析、机器人和自主系统、集成信息基础设施、复杂系统和认知计算、安全与隐私以及新兴研究和创新互联网环境方面不断发展的优先事项相对应。根据EPSRC的信息和通信技术主题优先事项，提出了一项为期三年的活动方案，其中包括网络和培训活动;国际研究前景扫描;最佳做法挑战讲习班和会议; CommNet 2的总体目标是制定一个强大的框架，以简化和促进学术创新过程，以提供连贯和地面，打破通信和计算机科学学科共享的研究方向，以应对21世纪世纪ICT的挑战。作为一个社区驱动的反应，该网络将汇集来自电气工程，电子，通信，网络，数学和计算机科学学科的学者，以加强这些研究人员的协调。具体而言，该网络将创建一个工具，使协调讨论和制定未来的研究投标，活动和世界领先的出版物，建立国际领先的研究活动。CommNet 2将有利于英国：动员英国的学术界和工业界在ICT空间进行世界领先的研究计划;为年轻的信息和通信技术研究人员提供培训和建立联系的机会，使他们成为明天的领导者;并在通信和计算机科学学科中建立一个强大、充满活力和有凝聚力的社区。长期以来，英国在信息和通信技术竞技场方面一直具有全球实力。从移动的先驱运营商到丰富的初创企业和咨询公司，我们几十年来一直处于无线和有线通信的最前沿。这一声誉带来了创新、全球主要参与者的持续投资以及在英国各地建立的重要集群，如剑桥、肖尔迪奇、布里斯托和北方爱尔兰、萨里5GIC以及m-VCE的成功阶段。5G、超高速宽带、物联网、云计算和触觉互联网的出现为加强英国在ICT方面的优势提供了机会。通过CommNet 2，学术界与相关行业和组织密切合作，将促进ICT研究的逐步变革，造福社会。
