NeTS: IEEE PerCom 2009 Student Travel Support

IEEE普适计算与通信国际会议（PerCom）是由IEEE计算机学会计算机通信技术委员会（TCCC）和分布式计算技术委员会（TCDP）主办的高质量会议。自2003年会议开始以来，它已确立为该主题的首要会议，并成为极具竞争力的会议，录取率低于20%。提交的论文一直在稳步上升，这表明了社区对研究活动的兴趣和水平。到目前为止，PerCom在北美和欧洲举行，这是第一次在亚洲组织，在北美和欧洲举行。预计今年将有300人参加加尔维斯顿。企业赞助商也在逐年增加。IEEE PerCom是一个高质量的会议和主要的技术论坛，致力于解决普适计算和网络的关键挑战，包括无线、移动、网状和传感器网络、中间件、普适服务和普适应用。今年，针对CfP提交的意见书超过240份；其中，技术计划委员会将接受30篇左右的论文（60%为长论文，40%为短论文）在会议上发表。会议记录将在IEEE上发表。与过去一样，精选的（扩展的）论文将被邀请发表在爱思唯尔？普适与移动计算（PMC）杂志。除了主项目外，还有10个卫星工作坊与PerCom (PerCom？S注册包括所有研讨会的注册，以便与会者可以“混搭”。演示)。另外100多篇同行评审的高质量论文将在这些研讨会的掩护下发表。旅行支持将使美国的研究生能够参加这次重要的IEEE会议并展示他们的研究成果。

The IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom) is a high quality conference sponsored by IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Computer Communications (TCCC) and Technical Committee on Distributed Computing (TCDP). Since the beginning of the conference in 2003, it has established as a premier meeting on this topic and has become extremely competitive with acceptance rate below 20%. The submission has been steadily on the rise which shows the interests and level of research activity in the community. So far PerCom was held in North America and Europe, and this is the first time it's being organized in Asia and was held in North America as well as in Europe. It is expecting about 300 will attend this year in Galveston. The corporate sponsor has also been increasing annually.IEEE PerCom is a high quality conference and the premier technical forum dedicated to addressing the key challenges in pervasive computing and networking, including wireless, mobile, mesh and sensor networks, middleware, pervasive services and pervasive applications. This year the number of submissions in response to the CfP was over 240; from which about 30 papers will be accepted (60% of them long papers, 40% short papers) by the Technical Program Committee for presentation at the conference. The proceedings will be an IEEE publication. As in the past, selected (extended) papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of Elsevier?s Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC) journal. In addition to the main program, 10 satellite workshops are closely associated with PerCom (PerCom?s registration includes registration to all workshops so attendees can ?mix-and-match? presentations). An additional 100+ peer-reviewed, high-quality papers will be presented under the covers of these workshops.The travel support will enable US-based graduate students to attend and present their research results in this important IEEE conference.
