REU Site: Mobile Actuator and Sensor NetworksThe goal of this REU Site program in Mobile Actuator Sensor Networks (MAS-net) is to provide eight undergraduate students an opportunity to participate in the ongoing research activities of faculty members in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Utah State University. This is a ten-weekprogram starting from early June to mid-August. This early exposure to research activities will substantially enhance the students' learning process and research experience, actively promote their interests in MAS-net related research, and improve their research skills.The proposed program will emphasize several MAS-net related techniques and their applications in some interesting and crucial projects that the REU participants will easily identify with. The main intellectual merit of this research is that it addresses a broad spectrum of challenging issues in the field of sensor networks using hands-on and stimulating research projects focusing on the development of (1) parsimonious signal and image processing algorithms and Ad-Hoc Positioning Systems (APS) in MAS-net; (2) consensus algorithms for coordination of multiple robotic vehicles; (3) a simulation platform to simulate distributed control of diffusion process, (4) non-model-based plume tracking algorithms with networked mobile sensors, and (5) design methods for emergent swarm behaviors in MAS-net.REU students are encouraged to practice active learning and open exchange of ideas and to develop team spirit. REU students will participate in weekly individual meetings, weekly research group meetings, biweekly REU group meetings, bi-weekly "expanding your horizon" seminars, and social events. They will have opportunities to learn to assimilate the latest research, assess their own research, present their own work and experimental results, prepare publications, and prepare for admission to graduate school.This program will directly help undergraduate students by exposing them to the intellectual excitement involved in research activities and professional meetings, and teaching them how to effectively assimilate latest research, critically assess their own research, cogently present experimental results, and effectively prepare publications. The enrollment will ensure that at least four of the eight participants are underrepresented students and at least four students are from other institutions, especially those institutions where research programs are limited.URL: http://www.ece.usu.edu/REU/

REU 站点：移动执行器和传感器网络移动执行器传感器网络 (MAS-net) REU 站点计划的目标是为八名本科生提供参与犹他州立大学电气与计算机工程系教员正在进行的研究活动的机会。这是一个为期十周的项目，从六月初到八月中旬。这种早期接触研究活动将大大增强学生的学习过程和研究经验，积极促进他们对 MAS-net 相关研究的兴趣，并提高他们的研究技能。拟议的计划将强调几种 MAS-net 相关技术及其在 REU 参与者很容易识别的一些有趣且重要的项目中的应用。 这项研究的主要智力价值在于，它通过实践和刺激的研究项目解决了传感器网络领域广泛的挑战性问题，重点是开发（1）简约信号和图像处理算法以及 MAS-net 中的自组织定位系统（APS）； (2) 多个机器人车辆协调的共识算法； (3) 模拟扩散过程的分布式控制的仿真平台，(4) 使用网络移动传感器的非基于模型的羽流跟踪算法，以及 (5) MAS-net 中突发群体行为的设计方法。鼓励 REU 学生实践主动学习和开放的思想交流，并培养团队精神。 REU 学生将参加每周一次的个人会议、每周一次的研究小组会议、每两周一次的 REU 小组会议、每两周一次的“拓展视野”研讨会和社交活动。他们将有机会学习吸收最新的研究，评估自己的研究，展示自己的工作和实验结果，准备出版物，并为进入研究生院做准备。该项目将直接帮助本科生，让他们接触研究活动和专业会议所涉及的智力兴奋，并教他们如何有效地吸收最新的研究，批判性地评估自己的研究，中肯地展示实验结果，并有效地准备出版物。招生将确保八名参与者中至少有四名是代表性不足的学生，并且至少四名学生来自其他机构，特别是那些研究项目有限的机构。网址：http://www.ece.usu.edu/REU/
