The technical programme will address 4 themes. The longer term goals in each case are identified below but it is important to note that we are not proposing that these can be achieved under the level of funding provided by this Platform grant. Rather, the funding will enable us to undertake the essential underpinning research to fuel the downstream proposals that WILL deliver significant progress towards the ultimate aims. Theme T1 : Multi-Dimensional Network SensingNew opportunities to understand micro-scale to very-large scale processes will be created through low-cost autonomously communicating sensor nodes. These may be fixed or mobile and will embed local positioning systems. The ability to form heterogeneous networks of sensors, to self-organise the communication and routing of results between them, and then to integrate the collected data, will inform a new genre of process intelligence. Long Term Goal T1.1 - Fundamental Model and Systems for Multi-dimensional Sensor Networks Long Term Goal T1.2 - Sensor Network Process DemonstratorTheme T2 - New Sensing Technologies for Small-Scale Chemical and Physical State TomographyPrevious process tomography sensor systems have, typically, addressed the distribution of one parameter at the macroscopic scale, for instance conductivity. We now propose to explore novel techniques to achieve simultaneous measurements of multiple parameters from nano- to macro- scale, through multi-modal approaches exploiting photonic techniques and micro-fabrication of sensors. Long Term Goal T2.1 - Novel Photonic Techniques to Penetrate the Fundamentals of Particulate Processes Long Term Goal T2.2 - Miniaturised Electrical TomographyTheme T3 - Smart Tomography Systems and Multi-Dimensional Data FusionResearch will explore fundamental science that defines temporal and spatial resolution, relative to physical features and constraints such as sensor configurations, process dimensions and signal to noise ratio. A new spectroscopic approach is proposed that will : facilitate the extraction of signal components in various noise environments in both spatial and temporal modes; exploit spectroscopic data. Long Term Goal T3.1 Smart Spatio-temporal Spectroscopic and Process-Compliant TomographyLong Term Goal T3.2 Multi-Dimensional Data FusionTheme T4 / Extending the Spectral and Temporal Envelope for Electromagnetic TomographyOur ability to exploit the electromagnetic spectrum in order to interrogate industrial processes has taken significant steps forward over the past decade. Fundamental research into the low frequency electrical modalities has been translated into a broad base of applications, as described earlier. However, our opportunities to exploit electromagnetic techniques further can be expected to continue, possibly at an even greater pace. This theme aims to build of the use non-contact electromagnetic tomography mainly at low, and RF frequencies, exploiting both continuous wave and pulse time domain techniques.Long Term Goal T4.1 Extending the application baseLong Term Goal T4.2 Miniature electromagnetic arraysLong Term Goal T4.3 Time resolved tomographyThe Platform grant will also enable us to pursue the following 6 Outreach activities :1. Continue to deliver and expand the World Congress in Industrial Process Tomography / the 4th meeting is in Japan in September 2005 and we anticipate more than 200 delegates.2. Double the membership of The Virtual Centre Industrial Consortium / this currently comprises 10 companies.3. Apply for a Partnership for Public Awareness Award.4. Seek funding to commission a multi-media presentation - for web and general dissemination to present technical horizons, benefits and impact on society.5. Bid for funding for an exhibit for loan to external bodies / for instance professional science and technology centres, museums etc.6. Maintain the VCIPT web-site http://www.vcipt.org

技术方案将涉及四个主题。下文确定了每种情况下的长期目标，但必须注意的是，我们并不建议在该平台赠款提供的资金水平下实现这些目标。相反，这笔资金将使我们能够进行必要的基础研究，以推动下游提案，这些提案将为最终目标取得重大进展。主题T1：多维网络传感通过低成本的自主通信传感器节点，将创造了解微尺度到超大尺度过程的新机会。这些系统可以是固定的或移动的，并将嵌入本地定位系统。形成异构传感器网络的能力，自组织它们之间的通信和结果路由，然后整合收集到的数据，将为过程智能的新流派提供信息。长期目标T1.1 -多维传感器网络的基本模型和系统长期目标T1.2 -传感器网络过程演示器主题T2 -用于小规模化学和物理状态层析成像的新传感技术以前的过程层析成像传感器系统通常解决宏观尺度下一个参数的分布，例如电导率。我们现在提出探索新的技术，以实现从纳米到宏观尺度的多个参数的同时测量，通过利用光子技术和传感器的微制造的多模式方法。长期目标T2.1 -新的光子技术，穿透颗粒过程的基本原理长期目标T2.2 -微型电子断层扫描主题T3 -智能断层扫描系统和多维数据融合研究将探索基础科学，定义时间和空间分辨率，相对于物理特征和约束条件，如传感器配置，过程尺寸和信噪比。提出了一种新的光谱方法，将：促进在各种噪声环境中的空间和时间模式的信号分量的提取，利用光谱数据。长期目标T3.1智能时空光谱和过程兼容的断层扫描长期目标T3.2多维数据融合主题T4 /扩展电磁断层扫描的光谱和时间包络我们利用电磁频谱来询问工业过程的能力在过去十年中取得了重大进展。如前所述，对低频电模式的基础研究已经转化为广泛的应用基础。然而，我们进一步利用电磁技术的机会有望继续下去，可能会以更快的速度。这个主题的目的是建立使用非接触式电磁断层扫描主要在低，射频频率，利用连续波和脉冲时域技术。长期目标T4.1扩展应用基础长期目标T4.2微型电磁阵列长期目标T4.3时间分辨断层扫描平台赠款也将使我们能够进行以下6个推广活动：1.继续提供和扩大世界工业过程层析成像大会/第四届会议将于2005年9月在日本举行，我们预计将有200多名代表参加。虚拟中心工业联盟的成员增加一倍/目前有10家公司。申请公共意识合作伙伴奖。4.寻求资金，委托制作一个多媒体演示文稿-用于网络和一般传播，以展示技术前景、好处和对社会的影响。申请资助展览，以便借予外间机构/例如专业科技中心、博物馆等。维护VCITT网站http://www.vcipt.org
