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，英国将主办两个著名的国际研讨会，在领先的研究领域，在电子设计，即异步系统和电路（ASYNC）和网络芯片（NOCS）。英国的研究在这两个领域都具有世界级的优势和声誉。这是在顶级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广泛培训的理想活动。该提案寻求资金，以帮助举办这一国际活动。该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导人（两位工业家和两位学者）在全体会议上发表主题演讲，并协调联合两次会议计划的发展。最后，还寻求少量捐款用于旅费、秘书和技术支助。

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.
