Workshop

Purdue University, USA

Organizer: Department of Mathematics, Purdue University

The workshop titled "Some Themes in Calculus of Variations" took place on 5 March 2023 at the Department of Mathematics Purdue University. With the topic of the isoperimetric problem, Dr. Emanuel Indrei, Assistant Professor in Purdue University chaired the Workshop, aiming to gain insights into two aspects: (1) outline the historical significance of the isoperimetric problem; (2) emphasize the modern research in pure mathematics underscoring an unanticipated obstruction to answer the many elementary questions. The participants had spirited debates and in-depth discussions about subjects like "Isoperimetric inequalities, functional inequalities, minimization".

University of Strathclyde, UK

Organizer: Department of Computer and Information Sciences, University of Strathclyde

The "Semantic Communications for High Volume Multimedia Content Delivery in 6G" workshop took place on March 21, 2023 at University of Strathclyde, UK. The objective of this workshop is to introduce Semantic communication theory and its importance in current high volume low bandwidth applications in mobile communications. During the session potential practical applications of Semantic communication, its current limitations, and future direction had been discussed. In contrast to the conventional communication applications and data compression techniques, an increasing share of data content is analyzed by machines rather than humans, and hence the importance to optimize the transmission and compression techniques to suit the machines was also discussed.

China Agricultural University, China

Organizer: Dr. Xinqing Xiao, Associate Professor in China Agricultural University

The workshop titled "Advanced Sensing Technology and Application" was successfully held on Feb. 25, 2023 at the College of Engineering, China Agricultural University chaired by Assoc. Professor Xinqing Xiao. The 10 students attending the workshop were mainly doctor, master and international students from the discipline of mechanical and electronic engineering and agriculture engineering, accounting at China Agricultural University. The workshop showcased some of the latest research conducted in the area of advanced sensing technology and application in agriculture as well as overlaps between the two subjects. Some of the topics discussed including examination of advanced sensing technology in wearable electronic, the application in food or fruit monitoring, and the development trends in future. The workshop also has discussed the possible application in animals breeding such as the aquaculture, live sheep breeding and transportation etc. by using the advanced sensing technologies such as the flexible wearable sensing and electronics.
