PC3: US-India Program for Pervasive Communications and Computing Collaboration

该项目建议组织一系列的两个国际研讨会，将汇集一个相对较小的（约20），但重点和不同的学术研究人员从美国和印度的小组讨论，开发，并提出在普适计算和通信领域的合作研究项目。一个主要目标是确定和开发双边合作研究项目，然后提交给美国和印度的适当资助机构。第一次研讨会将于2011年3月10日至11日在印度新德里举行，第二次研讨会将于2011年6月底或7月初在华盛顿举行。这两次研讨会以及它们将促成的美印合作研究将成为未来信息通信技术（ICT）国际合作研究活动的重要基础。普适计算和通信涉及计算的许多领域，包括网络物理系统（传感器网络;嵌入式系统;智能环境;传感器网络应用领域，包括农业，水和天气），可信计算（系统安全、国土安全、隐私）、能源和可持续性（智能电网、环境监测、家庭监测）;保健（个性化和智能医疗保健技术）和公民科学（由具有感测、计算和通信能力的移动的智能电话实现）。这些讲习班将作为一个试验平台，可以在其中尝试具体的研究合作机制。它们将作为一个孵化器，提供一个环境，使具体的合作能够扎根并开始蓬勃发展。在全球化和互联性日益增强的时代，特别是在科学和工程领域，如计算机领域，研究活动和下一代研究人员的培训也越来越重要。该项目本身将通过讲习班和讲习班参与者随后提出的合作研究建议促进国际合作。美国和印度的研究生和本科生将参与这项合作研究。更广泛地说，这些讲习班将利用所吸取的经验教训和已开始的成功合作，为科学家和工程师在全球世纪知识型世界中开展基础更广泛的国际合作奠定基础，在这个世界中，信息和通信技术发挥着越来越重要的作用。研讨会报告将记录研讨会的结论和成果。

This project proposes to organize a series of two international workshopsthat will bring together a relatively small (approximately 20) but focused and diverse group of academic researchers from the US and India to discuss, develop, and propose collaborative research projects in the area of pervasive computing and communications. A major goal is to identify and develop bi-lateral collaborative research projects, and then submit to the appropriate funding agencies in the US and India. The first workshop will be organized in New Delhi, India on March 10-11, 2011 and the second workshop will be held in Washington, DC late June or early July, 2011.The two workshops and the collaborative US-India research they will enable, will serve as an important foundation for future collaborative international research activities in information communication technologies (ICT). Pervasive computing and communications touches on many fields of computing, including cyber-physical systems (sensor networks; embedded systems; smart environments; sensor network application areas including agriculture, water and weather), trustworthy computing (systems security, homeland security, privacy), energy and sustainability (smart grid, environmental monitoring, home monitoring); health-care (personalized and smart health care technologies), and citizen science (enabled by mobile smart phones with sensing, computing, and communication capabilities). The workshops will serve as a testbed, where specific research collaboration mechanisms can be tried. They will serve as an incubator, providing an environment in which specific collaborations can take root and begin to flourish. They will also serve as a training ground, for a diverse future generation of internationally-focused ICT researchers.In a time of increasing globalization and inter-connectedness especially in areas of science and engineering such as computing it is increasingly important that research activities and the training of the next-generation of researchers also be international in scope. This project will itself foster international collaboration through the workshops and the subsequent collaborative research proposals generated by workshop participants. Graduate and undergraduate students, in both the US and in India would be involved in this collaborative research. More broadly, leveraging lessons learned and successful collaborations begun, these workshops will serve as foundation for more broadly-based international collaborations among scientists and engineers in a global 21st century knowledge-based world in which ICT plays an increasingly important role. Workshop reports will document workshop findings and outcomes.
