Student Travel Support for the 2005 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control

AbstractThis project supports student travel to 44th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control（CDC）in Seville，Spain，December 10-14，2005. IEEE CDC是关于系统和自动控制研究的首要年度国际会议。 第44届CDC首次与欧洲控制会议（ECC）联合举行，预计参与人数将超过1500人。 该项目的技术优势在于，它使美国研究生能够参加高质量，严格的同行评审活动，许多世界领导人都参加了系统和控制。 超过1400个研究报告，六个全体和半全体讲座由著名的研究人员，以及众多的教程演示，研讨会和展览提供接触国家的最先进的控制研究和技术的新兴领域。该项目的更广泛的影响是，它将有助于培养下一代的控制研究人员和从业人员。 现代社会越来越依赖传感和控制技术，从电网控制到互联网、汽车、飞机、炼油厂、发电厂和自动化制造系统。 美国未来的安全和福祉取决于在控制技术等关键领域保持一批训练有素的科学家和工程师。 本项目支持的学生代表了IEEE控制系统协会的未来技术领导者，IEEE控制系统协会是世界上首屈一指的系统和控制专业协会。

AbstractThis project supports student travel to the 44th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) in Seville, Spain, December 10-14, 2005. The IEEE CDC is the premier annual international conference on systems and automatic control research. The 44th CDC is being held jointly for the first time with the European Control Conference (ECC) with an expected level of participation over 1500. The technical merit of the project is that it enables US graduate students to participate in a high quality, rigorously peer-reviewed event attended by many of the world leaders in systems and control. Over 1400 reseach presentations, six plenary and semi-plenary lectures by renowned researchers, as well as numerous tutorial presentations, workshops and exhibits provide exposure to state-of-the-art in emerging areas of control research and technology.The broader impact of the project is that it will help train the next generation of control researchers and practitioners. Modern society is increasingly reliant on sensing and control technology, from control of the power grid, to the Internet, automobiles, aircraft, refineries, power plants, and automated manufacturing systems. The future security and well-being of the United States relies on maintaining a pools of trained scientists and engineers in critical areas such as control technology. The students supported under the present project represent the future technological leaders of the IEEE Control Systems Society, which is the world's premier professional society in systems and control.
