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鲁瓦举行。与比较正式的会议相比，这次研讨会的持续成功在于它的非正式和高度互动的气氛。与以往一样，研讨会将是单一轨道，有五个技术会议，三个全体发言人，两个小组讨论，和一个热门主题提交海报会议。技术会议包括学术界和工业界领导人的特邀讲座。此外，还将举办热点主题海报发布会，欢迎公众参与。 这个研讨会独特地结合了通信，信息理论和网络。 国家科学基金会对参加研讨会的旅费的支持将由年轻、成功、有前途的组织委员会仔细分发给妇女、少数民族或年轻的研究人员。

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.
