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

每月为通信、移动计算和网络领域的学者组织4-6次集思广益社区会议，其中也包括射频和微波技术、光子学和电子学的联系。这些目标是在EPSRC员工积极参与的情况下，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在微电子和硅技术方面现有的重大挑战文件。我们设想在第一年举行3次这样的会议，然后每月举行6次会议，每次会议由25-30名学术和工业参与者参加。6个为期1天或1.5天的专家研究密集简报会，以解决未来的热点问题。这些活动将以主题为基础，由选定主题领域的知名专家进行上午的演讲，然后进行高度结构化的后续讨论，以确定应该积极讨论的新研究主题，以便提交到上述愿景会议，然后提交给EPSRC SAT，并考虑将其纳入未来规划。对于第一年，我们建议这些会议可以单独讨论以下主题：频谱，射频和光子学集成以及系统中的软件。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进行接触，并向未来之星介绍计划，以提供具有国际地位的有效研究项目。为通信研究人员安排一个教育日，使社区更加了解成功资助收到不同同行评议的提案的困难。每年为（新）博士学生组织为期5天的年度沟通和网络暑期学校。这将由兰开斯特大学的巴勒姆名誉教授和爱丁堡大学的哈拉尔德·哈斯博士组织和协调。我们的目标是在这里给参与者提供广泛的相关主题的欣赏，包括至少三个半天的主题教程，如光子学，射频和微波和网络。我们还想向博士生们指出研究是如何组织和交付的，可能会有一个饭后演讲者，让他们在自己深入的博士研究之外，了解更广泛的组织问题。这些更专业的教程和演讲将由适当的学术或工业同事提供。这些暑期学校针对的是一年级的博士生，让他们有机会接触到英国主要学者和实业家的演讲，从而为他们在个人博士课程中进一步发展的研究技术的整体背景提供更好的基础。

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.
