In the future, communications systems are expected to be characterized asubiquitous, pervasive, very mobile, and highly distributed, among other at-tributes. In contrast to current systems, such as cellular systems or thecurrent Internet, the reliance on central network components will be muchreduced and ad hoc methods for forming networks will become more preva-lent. Additionally, the number of connected devices, including both sensorsand actuators as well as processors, will increase dramatically and manynetwork devices will operate autonomously. Massive quantities of data ofvarious highly structured formats will need to be accessed and distributedacross these networks. Wireless and wireline systems will interconnect withoptical fiber and free space communications media.This workshop is intended to bring together a distinguished group ofresearch scientists/educators and industry and government experts to discussand identify critical research in communications to support this vision. Theworkshop will provide an opportunity to interact with experts from relatedfields, primarily computer science, working on different aspects of futurecommunication systems. A list of invitees for this workshop is provided inthe appendix.The workshop aims to identify research challenges and opportunities as-sociated with the emerging vision for future communications systems. Weexpect a report to come out of the workshop reflecting the themes discussed.

未来，通信系统预计将具有无处不在、普遍、移动性强、高度分布式等特点。与当前的系统（例如蜂窝系统或当前的互联网）相比，对中央网络组件的依赖将大大减少，并且用于形成网络的临时方法将变得更加普遍。此外，包括传感器、执行器以及处理器在内的连接设备的数量将急剧增加，并且许多网络设备将自主运行。需要在这些网络上访问和分发各种高度结构化格式的大量数据。无线和有线系统将与光纤和自由空间通信媒体互连。本次研讨会旨在聚集一批杰出的研究科学家/教育工作者以及行业和政府专家，讨论和确定通信领域的关键研究，以支持这一愿景。该研讨会将提供与相关领域（主要是计算机科学）专家互动的机会，研究未来通信系统的不同方面。附录中提供了本次研讨会的受邀者名单。研讨会旨在确定与未来通信系统的新兴愿景相关的研究挑战和机遇。我们期望研讨会得出一份反映所讨论主题的报告。
