Intellectual Merit:The purpose of this project is to provide financial assistance for undergraduate and graduate students to participate and present technical papers at the 2008 American Control Conference (ACC 2008) in Seattle. The American Control Conference, sponsored by the American Automatic Control Council, is one of the most prestigious control conferences in the world with an expected level of participation of over 2000 scientists, students, and practicing engineers. The conference will focus on theoretical issues, engineering methodologies, and industrial applications in all areas of control research and development. The project funding will enable US students to participate in a high quality, peer-reviewed technical conference that is attended by many of the research leaders in the systems and control area. With over 1000 research presentations, numerous technical workshops, plenary lectures, group panel discussions by leaders on numerous special issues of importance, and industry exhibits, ACC 2008 will expose the students to the state-of-the-art and emerging areas of research and technology in systems and control area. The conference provides a unique opportunity for students to present their work to their peers and renowned researches. The conference provides special activities for students seeking to expand educational opportunities and for those nearing graduation to seek employment in industry, academia, and government labs. Since the control systems field is interdisciplinary, student participants will have a unique opportunity to interact with their peers from other fields of engineering and from pure sciences. The rich experience from such interactions will benefit their career and development. The conference is sponsored by American Automatic Control Council which in turn is composed of eight member societies, AIAA, AIChE, AISE, ASCE, ASME, IEEE, ISA, and SCS. Students from engineering, mathematics and other pure sciences are eligible for funding from this project.Broader Impacts resulting from the Proposed Activity: The conference will help train the next generation of control researchers and practitioners. Control systems are ubiquitous; they can be found in such diverse areas as automated manufacturing systems, automobiles, airplanes, refineries, power plants, electrical power grid, Internet, communication, and chemical processes. Modern engineering systems are becoming increasingly complex in this information rich world. Advances in sensing and control technology are making it possible to manage and control modern complex engineering systems. Control technology is a critical area for the US industry, the future technological edge and security of the United States depends on keeping a pool of trained scientists and engineers. The students funded under this project will be future leaders of control technology. Travel support for student participants, in the form of ACC 2008 Student TravelGrants, will be advertised nationally. Women, minorities, and disabled students will be especially encouraged to apply.

智力优势：本项目的目的是为本科生和研究生提供财政援助，以参加在西雅图举行的2008年美国控制会议（ACC 2008）并提交技术论文。由美国自动控制理事会主办的美国控制会议是世界上最负盛名的控制会议之一，预计将有2000多名科学家、学生和执业工程师参加。会议将重点讨论控制研究和开发所有领域的理论问题，工程方法和工业应用。该项目的资助将使美国学生能够参加一个高质量的，同行评审的技术会议，该会议由系统和控制领域的许多研究领导者参加。通过1000多个研究报告，众多的技术研讨会，全体会议讲座，小组小组讨论的领导人对许多特殊问题的重要性，和行业展览，ACC 2008年将暴露学生的国家的最先进的和新兴领域的研究和技术在系统和控制领域。会议为学生提供了一个独特的机会，向他们的同行和著名的研究人员介绍他们的工作。会议为寻求扩大教育机会的学生和即将毕业的学生提供特别活动，以寻求在工业，学术界和政府实验室就业。由于控制系统领域是跨学科的，学生参与者将有一个独特的机会与来自其他工程领域和纯科学领域的同行互动。从这种互动中获得的丰富经验将有利于他们的职业生涯和发展。会议由美国自动控制理事会主办，该理事会由八个成员协会组成，AIAA，AIChE，AISE，ASCE，ASME，IEEE，伊萨和SCS。来自工程、数学和其他纯科学的学生有资格获得该项目的资助。拟议活动产生的更广泛影响：会议将有助于培养下一代控制研究人员和从业人员。控制系统无处不在;它们可以在诸如自动化制造系统、汽车、飞机、炼油厂、发电厂、电力网、因特网、通信和化学过程等不同领域中找到。在这个信息丰富的世界中，现代工程系统变得越来越复杂。传感和控制技术的进步使管理和控制现代复杂的工程系统成为可能。控制技术是美国工业的一个关键领域，美国未来的技术优势和安全取决于保持训练有素的科学家和工程师。该项目资助的学生将成为控制技术的未来领导者。以ACC 2008年学生旅行补助金的形式为学生参与者提供的旅行支助将在全国范围内进行宣传。特别鼓励女性、少数民族和残疾学生申请。
