2018 and 2019 US Ignite Application Summits - Bridging Academic Research and Community Stakeholders for Increased Impact

2018年和2019年的美国物联网应用峰会将创建一个公共论坛，展示旨在利用下一代网络技术的高级应用。 峰会将展示先进网络在新兴的智能互联社区/物联网（IoT）生态系统中发挥的重要作用，并为促进大学研究人员，行业和社区领导者之间的合作提供独特的机会。作为峰会的一部分，将展示的应用还将展示先进的网络技术如何支持经济增长和繁荣，改善生活质量和提供医疗保健服务。 2018年和2019年的美国物联网应用峰会也将补充智能互联社区计划。 通过将应用峰会与NSF智能互联社区（S CC）计划主要研究者（PI）会议放在一起，将增加技术向社区过渡的机会，以及对社区需求和智能应用和S CC PI研究的最新技术的更多见解。应用峰会还将为不同规模的农村和城市地区的社区领导人提供一个场所，与应用开发人员和研究人员进行小组讨论，海报会议和技术演示。 他们还将展示其他地方政府及其项目合作伙伴开发的应用程序，并增加跨社区转让研究产品的机会。2018年和2019年的应用峰会将通过在研究界及其在市政府的合作伙伴中传播信息，经验教训和最佳实践来建立研究能力。

US Ignite Application Summits in 2018 and 2019 will create a public forum for demonstration of advanced applications that are designed to take advantage of next-generation networking technology. The Summits will serve to illustrate the important role that advanced networks play in the emerging smart and connected communities / Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem and provide a unique opportunity to facilitate partnerships among university-based researchers, industry and community leaders. The applications that will be showcased as part of the summit will also demonstrate how advanced networking technologies support economic growth and prosperity, improvement of quality of lives and delivery of healthcare services. The US Ignite Application Summits in 2018 and 2019 will also complement the Smart and Connected Community program. By co-locating the Application Summit with the NSF Smart and Connected Community (S&CC) program principal investigators' (PI) meeting, there will be increased opportunity for transition of technologies to communities as well as additional insights into both community needs and the state of the art in smart applications and S&CC PI research. The Application Summits will also provide a venue for community leaders spanning rural and urban regions of various size to interact with application developers and researchers in panel discussions, poster sessions, and technology demonstrations. They will also give exposure to applications that other local governments and their project partners have developed, and enhance opportunities to transfer research products across communities. The Application Summits in 2018 and 2019 will serve to build research capacity by disseminating information, lessons learned and best practices across the research community and its partners in municipal government.
