Community Organisation of Events in Communications, Mobile Computing and Networking with EPSRC ICT Portfolio

每月4-6次为通信、移动计算和网络领域的学者协调集思广益社区会议，其中还包括与射频和微波技术、光子学和电子学的链接。这些目标是在EPSRC工作人员的积极参与下，为我们整个研究社区建立未来愿景和路线图文件，以补充EPSRC现有的微电子和硅技术方面的重大挑战文件。我们预计在第一年举行3次这样的会议，然后每月举行6次会议，每次会议有25至30名学术界和工业界人士参加。六个为期1天或1.5天的专家研究密集简报，以解决未来的热点问题。这些会议将以主题为基础，上午由选定主题领域的公认专家进行陈述，然后进行高度结构化的后续讨论，以确定应积极讨论的新研究主题，以便将其提交上述VISION会议，然后提交EPSRC SAT，并考虑纳入未来规划。对于第一年，我们建议这些会议可以单独讨论诸如频谱、射频和光子学的集成以及系统中的软件等主题。这些研讨会将与EPSRC的工作人员协调，以确保我们包括他们希望发起的任何研讨会主题。上述两组会议的参与者将包括早期职业研究人员和EPSRC/RAEng研究人员，以确保我们与整个社区接触，并向未来的明星介绍提供具有国际地位的有效研究计划的规划。为传播研究人员安排一次教育日，让社区更多地认识到成功资助同行评价参差不齐的提案的困难。每年为(新)博士生组织一次为期5天的通信与网络暑期班。这将由兰开斯特的巴拉姆名誉教授和爱丁堡的哈拉尔德·哈斯博士组织和协调。我们的目标是通过在这里包括至少三个半天的光子学、射频和微波以及网络等主题的教程，让参与者对相关主题有广泛的了解。我们还想向博士生说明研究是如何组织和交付的，可能会有一位晚餐后的演讲者，让他们了解更广泛的组织问题，而不仅仅是他们自己的深入博士研究。这些更专业的教程和演讲将由适当的学术界或工业界同行讲授。这些暑期班面向一年级的博士生，让他们有机会适当地接触到英国重要学者和实业家的演讲，从而为他们将在个人博士课程中进一步发展的研究技术提供一个更好的整体背景。

4-6 monthly co-ordinating brainstorming community meetings for the academics in Communications, Mobile Computing and Networking which also encompass linking into RF and Microwave Technologies, Photonics and Electronics. These aim to build, with active EPSRC staff participation, future vision and roadmap documents for our overall research community to complement the existing EPSRC grand challenge documents in microelectronics and silicon technology. We envisage holding 3 of these meetings in year 1 followed thereafter by 6 monthly meetings with each meeting attended by 25-30 academic and industrial participants. Six 1 or 1.5 day specialist research intensive briefings to address future burning topics. These would be theme based with a morning of presentations from recognized experts in the chosen theme subject area followed by a highly structured follow-on discussion to identify new research themes which should be actively discussed for forwarding up to the above vision meetings and then on to EPSRC SAT and consideration for inclusion in future planning. For year 1 we suggest these meetings could individually address topics such as: Spectrum , Integration of RF and Photonics and Software in Systems . These workshops would be co-ordinated with EPSRC staff to ensure that we included any workshop topics they wished to initiate. The participants in the two sets of above meetings will include early career researchers and EPSRC/RAEng research fellows to ensure that we engage with the full community and brief future stars on the planning to deliver an effective research programme of international standing. Arrange an education day for communications researchers to make the community more aware of the difficulties in successfully funding proposals which receive somewhat mixed peer reviews. Organise an annual Communications and Networking 5 day Summer School for (new) PhD students in each of the 3 years. This would be organized and coordinated by Prof Barham Honorary at Lancaster and Dr Harald Haas at Edinburgh. We would be aiming here give the participants a wide range appreciation of related topics by including here at least three half day tutorials on topics such as Photonics , RF and microwave and Networks . We would also like to indicate to PhD students how research is organized and delivered, probably with an after dinner speaker, to give them appreciation of wider organizational issues, over and above their own in-depth PhD studies. These more specialist tutorials and presentations would be delivered by appropriate academic or industrial colleagues. These Summer Schools are aimed at first year PhD students to give them access to presentations by key UK academics and industrialists as appropriate and thus provide a much improved grounding in the overall background to the research techniques that they will be developing further in their personal PhD programmes.
