Support for the 14th International Symposium on Asynchronous Circuits and Systems (ASYNC) and 2nd International Symposium on Networks on Chip (NOCS)

2008年4月，英国将主办电子设计领域领先研究领域的两个享有盛誉的国际研讨会，即异步系统和电路(ASYNC)和片上网络(NOCS)。英国的研究在这两个领域都拥有世界级的实力和声誉。这是在主要国际论坛上展示英国研究和发展的绝佳机会，也是有利于年轻研究人员的广泛培训的理想活动。这项提案寻求资金来帮助举办这一国际活动。这笔赠款将通过举办专门的教程来支持研究人员培训，使我们能够邀请四位公认的国际领袖(两位实业家和两位学者)发表全体会议的主旨演讲，并协调联合两会计划的发展。最后，要求为差旅、秘书和技术支助提供少量捐款。

In April 2008 the UK will be the host to two prestigious international symposia in leading research areas in electronics design, namely Asynchronous Systems and Circuits (ASYNC) and Networks on Chip (NOCS). UK research has world class strengths and reputation in both these areas. This is an outstanding opportunity to showcase UK research and development at premier international forums, and an ideal event to benefit the broad training of young researchers. This proposal seeks funds to help run this international event. The grant will support researcher training by holding dedicated tutorials, enable us to invite four recognised international leaders (two industrialists and two academics) to present the plenary keynote addresses, and coordinate the development of the joint two-conference programme. Finally, a modest contribution is sought for travel, secretarial and technical support.
