Development of Collaborations with the Weizmann Institute of Science and IBM Haifa

该项目的主要目标是与魏茨曼科学研究所（WIS）的Adi Shamir教授小组和海法IBM研究实验室的Alan Hartman博士小组建立重要的新研究关系。Shamir教授小组的研究人员根据模型驱动架构（MDA）研究了在安全网络上分布数据集的最基本和最具挑战性的问题，而Hartman博士小组的研究人员则专注于实现模型驱动开发在复杂业务领域的潜力。这项海外旅游补助金将促进与这两个世界领先的研究小组的科学交流和研究合作。共同感兴趣的研究领域包括分布式基础设施在物理世界和模型世界融合中的作用；支持此合并所需的方法；并将显示和交互技术作为支持系统建模和开发的手段。来自约克大学高完整性系统工程（HISE）小组的两名多学科研究人员将前往以色列，与WIS和IBM海法讨论并发展中长期研究关系。HISE的研究人员将在WIS和IBM海法举办两场研讨会，举办两场研讨会，并组织几次会议，以提高对英国研究质量的认识。HISE将利用这一机会达成一份正式的谅解备忘录（MoU），以鼓励未来的合作和联合研究和交流项目的发展（最初至少有两个项目提案），希望这些项目将在欧盟FP7和其他国家计划的主持下得到资助。特派团的结果将相互传播给两国。

This principal goal of this project is to forge a significant new research relationship with Professor Adi Shamir's group at the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) and Dr. Alan Hartman's group at IBM Research Laboratory in Haifa. Researchers at Prof. Shamir's group investigate the most fundamental and challenging problems of distributing datasets over secure networks with reference to model driven architectures (MDA), while researchers within Dr. Hartman's group focus on realizing the potential of model driven development in complex business domains. This Overseas Travel Grant will facilitate scientific exchange and research collaboration with these two world-leading research groups. Research areas of common interest include the role of distributed infrastructure for the merging of physical and modelled worlds; methods required to support this merging; and display and interaction technologies as a means for supporting systems modelling and development.Two multidisciplinary researchers from the High Integrity Systems Engineering (HISE) group at the University of York will travel to Israel to discuss and develop medium to long term research relationship with WIS and IBM Haifa. The HISE researchers will be presenting two seminars, running two workshops, and organising several meetings in WIS & IBM Haifa to raise awareness of the quality of research in the UK. HISE will use this opportunity to agree a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), to encourage future collaboration and the development of joint research and exchange projects (at least two project proposals initially), which it is hoped will be funded under the auspices of the European Union FP7 and other national programmes. The results of the mission will be disseminated reciprocally to both countries.
