York - Zhejiang Summer School on Cognitive Communications
25 - 31 October 2010
Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS (Closing date 20th August 2010)
Thanks to funding from Research Councils UK in China
<http://www.rcuk.cn/rcuk/fore/index_en.php> and Worldwide Universities
Network <http://www.wun.ac.uk/> , 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.
