项目摘要

From our mobile phones, to large datacentres to the thousands of sensors in our cars, hospitals, and electrical grids, there is no denying the influence that modern computing has. The glue that underpins all these systems is the communications networks. Much like how our railways and roads connect where we live and underpin the prosperity of a country so too do our communications infrastructure, but perhaps even more so as we live in an increasingly digital age. We are currently at the intersection of two major drivers for changing the way we design and use communication networks: (1) rapid revolutions bring about a new continuum of computing types (e.g., ranging from silicon-based edge to cloud compute, to quantum, neuromorphic, molecular computing, etc.) - offering unprecedented speed, parallelism, and miniaturization; and (2) increased use of autonomy across society and industry which is changing our expectations of a network and the way we articulate the ability of our networks to serve us. In short, traditional communication systems are now a step behind where they need to be to fully unleash the potential of emerging cloud and distributed computing. Not only that, without the joint up thinking between those who research the fundamental parts of a communications network; the signal processing, spectrum utilisation and network interoperability people etc. and those who research the next generation autonomy and computation, we are simply not able to build agile fit-for-purpose communications infrastructures to catch up.The CHEDDAR: Communications Hub for Empowering Distributed clouD computing Applications and Research lies on this interface between communications fundamentals and an infrastructure that serves our many communities. Bringing together a spectrum of experts not only in communications but across quantum, neuro-symbolic AI, autonomy etc who have worked in application areas from Farms to Space via Smart Cities, and who understand security and privacy, CHEDDAR aims to build a community that will provide the step change in research and be agile to address new opportunities as they arise. CHEDDAR also aims to take a different and inclusive approach to this research which includes clear opportunities for community engagement and dialogue across the UK, and in researcher development providing both technical and soft-skills round inclusivity and responsible research. With a particular focus on security/privacy and sustainability and resilience this Hub aims to accelerate the national scale innovation process in connected computing research and make UK a lighthouse globally. This is necessary as the UK has demonstrated its ability to be world leading in topics such as AI, Autonomy etc., but many EPSRC and UKRI funded advances are set to unleash their £Bn's of potential on the economy - it requires new communication interfaces to connect them and unleash these benefits, whilst mitigating the new risks that emerge. We aim to develop the pathways to enabling new communication network design and innovation, through connections with the other 2 hubs, with centres of doctoral training and innovation knowledge centres, institutes, government and standards bodies etc. and identify mechanisms for joint capability and facility sharing and cross-fertilize the co-design of connected computing capabilities.

从我们的手机到大型数据中心，再到我们的汽车，医院和电网中的数千个传感器，都无可否认现代计算所具有的影响。支撑所有这些系统的胶水是通信网络。就像我们的铁路和道路如何连接我们居住和支撑一个国家的繁荣的地方，我们的通信基础设施也是如此，但是当我们生活在日益数字时代时，也许更是如此。目前，我们正处于两个主要驱动因素的交汇处，以改变我们设计和使用通信网络的方式：（1）快速旋转带来了一种新的计算类型（例如，从基于硅的边缘到云计算，再到量子，神经形态，分子计算等） - 提供无前定的速度，平行式，和平行的; （2）在社会和行业中增加了自治的使用，这正在改变我们对网络的期望以及我们阐明网络为我们服务的能力的方式。简而言之，传统的通信系统现在落后于他们需要完全释放新兴云和分布式计算的潜力的一步。不仅如此，没有研究通信网络基本部分的人之间的共同思考； the signal processing, spectrum utilisation and network interoperability people etc. and those who research the next generation autonomy and computation, we are simply not able to build agile fit-for-purpose communications infrastructures to catch up.The CHEDDAR: Communications Hub for Empowering Distributed clouD computing Applications and Research lies on this interface between communications fundamentals and an infrastructure that serves our many communities.汇集了一系列专家，不仅在沟通中，而且在量子，神经符号AI，自主权，自主权等方面汇集了他们在从农场到太空的应用领域工作，并且了解安全性和隐私的人，Cheddar的目标是建立一个社区，以建立一个在研究中提供阶梯的社区，并敏捷地解决新的机会，以解决新的机会。切达（Cheddar）还旨在采取另一种包容性的方法来进行这项研究，其中包括在英国进行社区参与和对话的明确机会，以及在研究人员开发方面提供技术和软技能，包括围绕包容性和负责任的研究。特别关注安全/隐私和可持续性和弹性，该中心旨在加快连接计算研究的国家规模创新过程，并在全球范围内使英国成为灯塔。这是必要的，因为英国已经证明了其在AI，自主权等主题领域领先的能力，但是许多EPSRC和UKRI资助的进步将释放其在经济上的潜力 - 它需要新的沟通接口来连接它们，除非这些好处，否则这些好处是降低新的风险。我们旨在通过与其他2个枢纽的连接以及博士培训和创新知识中心，机构，政府和标准机构等的中心进行连接，以开发新的通信网络设计和创新，并确定联合能力共享的机制，并确定连接计算能力的共享和交叉的机制。
