This project is a Numerical Computing and Optimization REU site hosted by Florida International University (FIU). This site?s region, Southeast Florida, is a rapidly growing communication industry hub. This REU Site contributes to a well trained technical workforce in response to information from to the US and Florida Bureau of Labor Statistics indicating that the need for computer systems and data communication analysts is projected to grow during the 2006-2016 period. FIU is recruiting a diverse group of students and engaging them in a research experience to ensure that greater numbers will attend graduate school. Each summer 10 students are selected from across the country to participate in a variety of research projects that are supervised by the faculty for a period of 10 weeks. Projects span fundamental multidisciplinary areas in reconfigurable algorithms, software and operating systems for emerging applications. Students also attend a number of technical and professional seminars. Intellectual Merit: Undergraduate students participating in this summer program perform supervised research and obtain rich experiences in a diverse and multicultural environment. Female and under represented minorities are selected from across the country to participate in the program, thus giving a diverse perspective and strength to the research. The student projects allow participants to learn fundamental principles of theoretical and practical telecommunications and networking. The undergraduate students attend structured training sessions to learn how research is conducted and how to be effective team members. The research projects involve a combination of model design, development and testing of algorithms, and software and tools necessary to design and validate secure, context-aware and adaptable next generation computing and communication systems and devices. Broader Impacts: This project engages students from underrepresented groups in research and exposes them to the possibilities of graduate study and encourages them to choose a career path involving research. The students develop intellectual confidence as they associate with other students who share their commitment to science and engineering. This REU site advances the research skills of the undergraduate participants and improves the employment options for these students. This provides a stronger technically educated American workforce. The REU research advances are integrated into the curriculum of related classes at FIU and thus benefit other students.

该项目是由佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）主持的数值计算和优化REU网站。该地点是佛罗里达州东南部的地区，是一个迅速发展的通信行业枢纽。该REU站点有助于训练有素的技术劳动力，以响应美国和佛罗里达劳工统计局的信息，这表明对计算机系统和数据通信分析师的需求预计将在2006 - 2016年期间增长。 FIU正在招募各种各样的学生，并参与研究经验，以确保更多人数上学。每年夏天，来自全国各地的10名学生都参加了由教职员工监督的各种研究项目。项目涵盖了可重构算法，软件和操作系统的基本多学科领域，用于新兴应用程序。学生还参加了许多技术和专业研讨会。知识分子优点：参加本夏季计划的本科生进行了监督研究，并在多样化和多元文化的环境中获得丰富的经验。从全国各地选择女性和代表的少数民族参加该计划，从而为研究提供了不同的观点和力量。学生项目允许参与者学习理论和实际电信和网络的基本原则。本科生参加结构化的培训课程，以了解如何进行研究以及如何成为有效的团队成员。研究项目涉及算法的模型设计，开发和测试以及设计和验证安全，上下文感知和适应能力的下一代计算以及通信系统和设备所必需的软件和工具的结合。更广泛的影响：该项目使来自代表性不足的小组的学生参与研究，并使他们了解研究生学习的可能性，并鼓励他们选择涉及研究的职业道路。当学生与其他分享对科学和工程承诺的学生交往时，他们就会发展出智力信心。此REU网站提高了本科参与者的研究技能，并改善了这些学生的就业选择。这提供了更强大的技术教育的美国劳动力。 REU研究进展已纳入FIU的相关班级课程，从而使其他学生受益。
