NECO: A Proposal to Fund Student Travel Grants To Attend MobiCom 2008

该提案要求部分支持学生参加2008年9月14日至19日在旧金山举行的MobiCom 2008。美国国家科学基金会的支持将为20名年轻参与者提供与知名研究人员互动的机会。MobiCom 2008为研究移动、无线通信和计算等新兴领域的系统问题提供了一个高水平的论坛。在MobiCom会议上报告的研究和发展成果跨越多个学科，包括无线通信、车载通信、个人区域网络、自组织网络、操作系统。该提案的更广泛影响是为从事移动计算领域研究的研究生提供机会，不仅可以参加高水平的技术演示，还可以接触到该领域最先进的研究，但也要与世界各地的同行研究生互动，与该领域的资深领先研究人员会面，并参加可能影响他们未来职业生涯的讨论。

The proposal requests partial support for students to participate in MobiCom 2008 in San Francisco, Sept 14-19, 2008. The NSF support will provide opportunities for twenty young participants to interact with established researchers. MobiCom 2008 introduces a high caliber forum for research on systems issues in the emerging area of mobile, wireless communication and computing. The research and development results reported in MobiCom conferences span multiple disciplines, including wireless communication, vehicular communications, personal area networks, ad hoc networks, operating systems,The broader impact of the proposal is to provide providing graduate students conducting research in the mobile computing field the opportunity to not only attend high-caliber technical presentations and be exposed to the state-of-the-art research in the field, but also to interact with peer graduate students world-wide, to meet with senior leading researchers in the field, and to take part in discussions that are likely to shape their future careers.
