Workshop: 21st Annual on Interconnections within High-speed Digital Systems: Support for Student Participation. To be Held in Sante Fe, New Mexico on May 2-5, 2010.

该提案要求为包括研究生和博士后研究人员在内的美国学生提供差旅支持，以参加2010年5月2日至5日在新墨西哥州圣特菲举行的第21届IEEE/LEOS关于高速数字系统内部互连的年度研讨会。就智力优势而言，该研讨会具有特别重要的意义，因为对支持高数据速率通信的超高速互连的需求日益增长，而且多核体系结构的重要性日益增长，这需要高数据速率互连。问题领域的多学科性质反映在研讨会上，研讨会汇集了半导体器件、处理器架构、三维封装和光电集成方面的研究人员。除了讲座、海报和教程外，研讨会还包括一个“研讨会问题”，参与者通过小组互动来解决挑战问题。在更广泛的影响方面，拟议的支持通过参与多学科研讨会以及与领先研究人员和其他学生的相关互动来改善研究生和博士后研究人员的教育。讲习班和相关的旅行支助将通过积极向服务少数群体的机构和组织宣传，这些机构和组织的重点是妇女和来自代表人数不足群体的其他学生。遴选过程将强调扩大参与度。

This proposal requests travel support for U.S. students, including graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, to participate in the 21st Annual IEEE/LEOS Workshop on Interconnections within High-speed Digital Systems to be held May 2-5, 2010 in Sante Fe, New Mexico.With respect to intellectual merit, this workshop is of particular significance due to the increasing demand for very high speed interconnects to support high data rate communication and due to the growing importance of multi-core architectures, which require high data rate interconnects. The multidisciplinary nature of the problem domain is reflected in the workshop which brings together researchers in semiconductor devices, processor architecture, three-dimensional packaging, and optical-electronic integration. In addition to talks, posters, and tutorials, the workshop features a "workshop problem" where participants interact through small working groups to address a challenge problem.With respect to broader impacts, the proposed support improves the education of graduate students and post-doctoral researchers through participation in the multidisciplinary workshop and associated interaction with leading researchers and other students. The workshop and associated travel support are to be advertised through active outreach to minority serving institutions and organizations focused on women and other students from underrepresented groups. The selection process will emphasize broadening participation.
