The rapid growth of the rich variety of connected devices, from sensors, to cars, to wearables, to smart buildings, is placing a varied and highly complex set of bandwidth, latency, priority, reliability, power, roaming, and cost requirements on how these devices connect and on how information is moved around. Efficient communications remains a very difficult challenge for our digital world, and understanding how to design devices and systems that make good trade-offs between these different requirements requires skills from several disciplines.MANGI will underpin the critical mass and expertise in Bristol's Smart Internet and Devices Laboratory (SIDL) enabling the creation of a Next Generation Internet, with career development of our senior and most talented postdoctoral researchers forming a core part of our activity. Bristol's SIDL brings together the Smart Internet Lab (SIL) in Electrical & Electronic Engineering and the Centre for Device Thermography and Reliability (CDTR) in Physics at the University of Bristol, and has a world-leading track record, spanning the complete digital communication engine from novel wide bandgap semiconductor RF/optical devices to state-of-the-art high performance network architecture design and operation, on the pathway to enabling the Next Generation Internet.New devices and materials are critically needed as key enablers for the necessary transition from the current to the Next Generation Internet which needs to be energy efficient and provide highly flexible connectivity across optical-wireless domains. Using pump-priming projects to retain and develop our outstanding postdoctoral researchers, revolutionary interdisciplinary approaches will be developed in order to adopt high risk strategies focused on grand challenges aimed at enabling the Next Generation Internet. This approach taken is not possible with standard mode funding. Advances in component technologies, to provide higher speed/linearity, higher power devices, more compact device and packaging design, alongside use of new materials will have transformative impact upon network operation. The flexibility of the platform will be a corner stone of MANGI, allowing our most senior postdoctoral researchers to develop and drive their own research ideas, with interdisciplinary mentoring by senior members of SIDL and industry. This will help remove blockages in current technology and overcome the current internet infrastructure challenges. Standard research paths are not able to support independent development and innovation at physical and network layer functionalities, protocols, and services, while at the same time supporting the increasing bandwidth demands of changing and diverse applications, largely because of current limitations in semiconductor device and packaging technology and a lack of co-design of the multitude of constituent parts.

从传感器、汽车、可穿戴设备到智能建筑，种类繁多的互联设备的快速增长，对这些设备如何连接以及如何移动信息提出了一套多种多样且高度复杂的带宽、延迟、优先级、可靠性、电力、漫游和成本要求。高效的通信对于我们的数字世界来说仍然是一个非常困难的挑战，了解如何设计在这些不同需求之间做出良好权衡的设备和系统需要几个学科的技能。MANGI将巩固布里斯托尔智能互联网和设备实验室(SIDL)的临界质量和专业知识，使下一代互联网的创建成为可能，我们资深和最有才华的博士后研究人员的职业发展成为我们活动的核心部分。布里斯托尔的SIDL将电气电子工程的智能互联网实验室(Sil)和布里斯托尔大学的设备热成像与可靠性中心(CDTR)结合在一起，拥有世界领先的记录，从新颖的宽带隙半导体射频/光设备到最先进的高性能网络架构设计和运营，在实现下一代互联网的道路上，涵盖了完整的数字通信引擎。从当前的互联网过渡到下一代互联网，迫切需要新的设备和材料作为关键推动因素，下一代互联网需要高能效并提供高度灵活的跨光无线域连接。通过泵启动项目来留住和培养我们杰出的博士后研究人员，将开发革命性的跨学科方法，以便采用专注于重大挑战的高风险战略，旨在实现下一代互联网。对于标准模式的资金，采取这种方法是不可能的。组件技术的进步，以提供更高的速度/线性度、更高的功率器件、更紧凑的器件和封装设计，以及新材料的使用，将对网络运营产生革命性的影响。该平台的灵活性将是Mangi的基石，允许我们最资深的博士后研究人员在SIDL和行业高级成员的跨学科指导下开发和推动他们自己的研究想法。这将有助于消除当前技术中的障碍，并克服目前的互联网基础设施挑战。标准的研究路径不能支持物理层和网络层功能、协议和服务的独立开发和创新，同时支持不断变化和多样化的应用日益增长的带宽需求，这主要是因为当前半导体器件和封装技术的限制以及缺乏大量组成部分的协同设计。
