Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS - www.summerschool2010.org
Closing date for applications: 20th August 2010
Notification of acceptance: 31st August 2010
Thanks to funding from Research Councils UK in China and Worldwide
Universities Network, the first York-Zhejiang 'Summer School' on Cognitive
Communications will take place from 25 - 31 October 2010 at Zhejiang
University in Hangzhou, China. The central aim is to bring together 100
like-minded research active individuals to explore the ever-growing field of
Cognitive Communications, which encompasses cognitive radio, cognitive
networks, and application of cognition to other aspects of communications
systems.
Supported by a team of ten expert lecturers, five from the UK and five from
China, the programme includes tutorials, providing an in-depth introduction
to key topics, lectures dealing with more specialist techniques, workshops,
one centred on a mini-project 'a tech-fest' to be undertaken during the
week, the other giving delegates hands on experience of tools and
implementation. There will also be time for a short seminar and poster
session, to allow delegates to display their current research in the area.
Briefings of various relevant projects from around the world will also be
given. A visit to a local wireless communications company (or industrial
research lab such as Huawei Lab in
Hangzhou) will provide further interest and diversity. The evenings will be
more devoted to cultural aspects, with a welcome reception and banquet, and
also themed events from the UK (pub quiz) and China.
The School is designed for Masters students, PhD students, postdoctoral
researchers and junior Lecturers with interests in Cognitive Communications.
Courses will be comparable to first year graduate courses.
