Student Travel Support

第五届ACM嵌入式网络传感器系统国际会议（SenSys 2007）将于2007年11月6日至9日在澳大利亚悉尼举行。为了帮助增加在美国的研究生在本次会议中的代表性和参与度，本提案请求支持，以帮助支付10名学生的费用。SenSys 2007引入了一个高水平的论坛，用于研究嵌入式网络传感器新兴领域的系统问题。SenSys的设计问题涉及多个学科，包括无线通信、网络、操作系统、架构、低功耗电路、分布式算法、数据处理、调度、传感器、能量收集和信号处理。SenSys旨在为研究人员解决这些网络传感器系统设计问题提供一个跨学科的场所。SenSys 2006是继ACM （SIGCOMM， SIGMOBILE， SIGARCH， SIGMETRICS， SIGOPS， SIGBED）和NSF赞助的非常成功的第三届ACM SenSys 2005会议之后的第四届系列会议。过去几年在这个单轨会议上提出的论文的质量反映了拟议活动的重大智力价值。研究生的参与将产生广泛的教育影响。来自NSF的支持对于增加能够参加这次重要会议的研究生人数至关重要。旅游学生计划的目标是扩大来自不同大学的学生的参与。该计划将优先考虑女性和少数族裔学生，以及在少数族裔服务机构攻读研究生课程的学生。

The fifth ACM International conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2007) will be held in Sydney, Australia from November 6-9, 2007. To help increase the representation and participation of United States-based graduate students in this conference, this proposal requests support to help cover the expenses for ten (10) students.SenSys 2007 introduces a high caliber forum for research on systems issues in the emerging area of embedded, networked sensors. SenSys design issues span multiple disciplines, including wireless communication, networking, operating systems, architecture, low power circuits, distributed algorithms, data processing, scheduling, sensors, energy harvesting, and signal processing. SenSys seeks to provide a cross-disciplinary venue for researchers addressing these networked sensor system design issues. SenSys 2006 was a fourth in the series which followed a very successful third conference ACM Sensys 2005 sponsored by ACM (SIGCOMM, SIGMOBILE, SIGARCH, SIGMETRICS, SIGOPS, SIGBED) and NSF. The quality of the papers presented in this single track conference over the past years reflects the significant intellectual merit of the proposed activity.The participation by graduate students will have a broad and educational impact. Support from NSF is critical to increasing the number of graduate students who can attend this premiere conference. The goal of the travel student program is to broaden the participation of students from various universities. The program will give priority to female and under-represented minority students, as well as students pursing their graduate studies in Minority Serving Institutions.
