The traditional view of many engineering disciplines working as independent islands of expertise is no longer valid. Cross fertilisation of the diverse technologies available in Glasgow will lead to new methods and technologies for applications in medicine, healthcare provision, networks for communications and sensor applications, and the broader domain of Health and Usage Monitoring Sytems (HUMS) to be used in a broad spectrum of industries, services and the home. In response to this need Glasgow University will establish an Electronics Design Centre for Heterogeneous Systems.In this project we will expand the UK academic design activity in a way that is well matched to the pattern of UK industry which is diverse and extremely diffuse in terms of its use of electronics design. We will build an electronics design laboratory to match emerging research needs and integrate to our substantial nanofabrication and technology laboratories. The design-led research will, in addition to developing its own character, interact extensively with the established groups and laboratories of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering to leverage new and emerging technologies using high-level specification and design methodologies. We will therefore combine the strengths of a dedicated design activity that has its own clear identity with a world class technology centre.The project will expand the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, the University's overall research capability, and the UK electronics design base, with the appointment of three new academics. With the help and support of staff at the university they will develop their own research activities, expand the base for collaboration, and generate new research and knowledge transfer routes. The Centre will be strongly supported by the University that will build a new laboratory and ensure that academic posts are continued into the future.We have targeted three major areas for electronic design-led activity: bioelectronic/sensor system design; ultrafast system design; and modelling/CAD tool development for large scale electronic systems. These activities are highly synergistic and this has been shown by the Department's recent research track record. For example body-area and autonomous distributed sensor networks present significant design challenges where RF performance, chip size and power consumption become key drivers. The design skills needed to achieve the required research outcomes are in wireless systems, sensor integration, low power design, low noise implementations and guaranteed performance and reliability.

许多工程学科作为独立的专业知识孤岛的传统观点不再有效。格拉斯哥现有的各种技术的交叉融合将导致新的方法和技术应用于医学，医疗保健提供，通信和传感器应用网络，以及更广泛的健康和使用监测系统（HUMS）领域，用于广泛的行业，服务和家庭。为了满足这一需求，格拉斯哥大学将建立一个异构系统电子设计中心。在这个项目中，我们将以一种与英国工业模式相匹配的方式扩大英国的学术设计活动，英国工业在电子设计的使用方面是多样化的，而且非常分散。我们将建立一个电子设计实验室，以满足新兴的研究需求，并整合到我们的大量纳米纤维和技术实验室。设计主导的研究，除了发展自己的性格，将与电子和电气工程系的既定小组和实验室广泛互动，利用高层次的规范和设计方法，利用新的和新兴的技术。因此，我们将联合收割机的优势，结合一个专门的设计活动，有自己的明确的身份与世界一流的科技中心。该项目将扩大电子和电机工程系，大学的整体研究能力，英国电子设计基地，并委任三名新学者。在大学工作人员的帮助和支持下，他们将发展自己的研究活动，扩大合作基础，并产生新的研究和知识转移途径。该中心将得到大学的大力支持，将建立一个新的实验室，并确保学术职位在未来继续。我们有针对性的电子设计主导的活动的三个主要领域：生物电子/传感器系统设计;超快系统设计;和建模/CAD工具开发的大型电子系统。这些活动具有高度的协同作用，经社部最近的研究跟踪记录表明了这一点。例如，身体区域和自主分布式传感器网络提出了重大的设计挑战，其中RF性能、芯片尺寸和功耗成为关键驱动因素。实现所需研究成果所需的设计技能是在无线系统，传感器集成，低功耗设计，低噪声实现和保证性能和可靠性。
