A Proposal to Support Young Scientists and Graduate Students for CTW 2008

今年，IEEE通信理论研讨会将于5月11日至14日在美属维尔京群岛的圣克罗伊岛举行。与更正式的会议相比，该讲习班的持续成功在于其非正式和高度互动的气氛。和以前一样，研讨会将是单轨的，包括五场技术会议、三名全体发言人、两场小组讨论和一场提交热门话题的海报会议。技术会议由学术界和工业界的领导人邀请演讲组成。此外，还将有热门话题的海报环节，公开征集参与。这个研讨会独特地结合了通信、信息理论和网络。美国国家科学基金会将通过年轻、成功、有前途的组织委员会向妇女、少数民族或年轻研究人员仔细传播对研讨会旅行的支持。

This year, the IEEE Communications Theory Workshop will take place on May 11-14 in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. The continued success of this workshop lies in its informal and highly interactive atmosphere, in contrast to more formal conferences. As before, the workshop will be single track, with five technical sessions, three plenary speakers, two panel discussions, and a hot-topics submitted poster session. The technical sessions consist of invited lectures given by leaders in academia and industry. In addition, there will be hot-topics poster session with an open call for participation. This workshop uniquely combines communications, information theory, and networking. The NSF support for travel to the workshop will be carefully disseminated to women, minorities, or young researchers by the young, successful, up-and-coming organizing committee.
