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举行。与更正式的会议不同，这一讲习班的持续成功在于其非正式和高度互动的气氛。与以往一样，讲习班将是单轨的，包括五次技术会议、三位全体发言者、两次小组讨论和一次提交的热点专题海报会议。技术会议由学术界和工业界领袖的特邀讲座组成。此外，还将有热点话题海报环节，公开征集参与。该研讨会独一无二地将通信、信息理论和网络相结合。NSF对研讨会旅行的支持将由年轻、成功、有前途的组织委员会谨慎地传播给妇女、少数族裔或年轻的研究人员。

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.
