Student Travel Support for the 2010 American Control Conference. To be held in Baltimore, MD, June 30, to July, 2, 2010.

这个项目的目的是为学生提供旅行帮助，让他们参加2010年6月30日至7月2日在马里兰州巴尔的摩举行的2010年美国控制会议(2010 ACC)并提交技术论文。从国家科学基金会申请的财政支持，以及美国自动控制委员会(AACC)、ASME动态系统和控制部(ASME DSCD)和IEEE控制系统学会(IEEE CSS)的匹配支持，将用于支付大约125名学生参加的旅费。智力优势：美国控制会议是世界上最负盛名的控制会议之一，预计将有2000多名科学家、学生和执业工程师参加。这次会议由美国自动控制委员会主办，由其八个成员协会共同赞助：AIAA、AICHE、AISE、ASCE、ASME、IEEE、ISA和SCS。会议将集中在控制系统研究和开发的所有领域的理论问题、工程方法和工业应用。项目资金将使美国学生能够参加一个高质量的同行评议的技术会议，系统和控制领域的许多研究领导者都会参加。通过1000多场技术报告、众多技术研讨会、全体讲座、领导人就许多特别重要的问题进行的小组讨论以及行业展品，2010年ACC将向学生展示系统和控制领域最先进和与社会相关的新兴研究和技术领域。这次会议为学生提供了一个独特的机会，让他们向杰出的同行和著名研究人员展示他们的作品。会议还为学生提供了一种手段，以建立或加强专业网络和伙伴关系，从而在工业、学术界和政府实验室获得职业机会，并在一个或多个共同发起的社团中获得专业会员资格。由于控制系统领域本质上是跨学科的，学生参与者将有一个独特的机会与来自其他工程领域和纯科学领域的同行互动。这种互动的丰富经验将有利于他们的职业生涯和职业发展。来自工程、数学和其他纯科学的学生有资格从这个项目中获得资助。广泛的影响：通过在学生时代吸引个人进入令人兴奋的控制科学和工程领域，2010 ACC在培养下一代研究人员和从业人员方面发挥了至关重要的作用。控制系统无处不在；它们可以在自动化制造系统、汽车、载人/无人驾驶飞机和太空访问车辆、炼油厂、发电厂、通信系统、化工过程控制系统以及最近的互联网、生物医学系统、电网和绿色能源系统等不同领域找到。在这个信息丰富的世界里，现代工程系统正变得越来越复杂。传感和控制技术的进步使管理和控制现代复杂工程系统成为可能。控制系统技术是美国工业的一个关键领域，美国未来的技术优势和安全取决于保持一批训练有素的科学家和工程师。该项目资助的学生将引领未来控制系统技术的进步。以2010年ACC学生旅行津贴的形式为学生参与者提供的旅行支持将在全国范围内进行宣传。包括妇女、少数民族和残疾学生在内的代表性不足的群体将被特别鼓励申请。

The purpose of this project is to provide travel assistance for students to attend and present technical papers at the 2010 American Control Conference (2010 ACC) in Baltimore, Maryland from June 30 through July 2, 2010. Financial support requested from the National Science Foundation, along with matching support from the American Automatic Control Council (AACC), the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Division (ASME DSCD), and the IEEE Control Systems Society (IEEE CSS), shall be used to defray the travel expenses of an estimated 125 student attendees.Intellectual Merit: The American Control Conference is one of the most prestigious control conferences in the world with an expected level of participation of over 2,000 scientists, students, and practicing engineers. The conference is sponsored by the American Automatic Control Council and co-sponsored by its eight member societies: AIAA, AIChE, AISE, ASCE, ASME, IEEE, ISA, and SCS. The conference will focus on theoretical issues, engineering methodologies, and industrial applications in all areas of control systems research and development. The project funding will enable US students to participate in a high quality, peer-reviewed technical conference that is attended by many of the research leaders in the systems and control area. With over 1,000 technical presentations, numerous technical workshops, plenary lectures, group panel discussions by leaders on numerous issues of special importance, and industry exhibits, the 2010 ACC will expose the students to state-of-the-art and socially relevant emerging areas of research and technology in the systems and control area. The conference provides a unique opportunity for students to present their work to a distinguished audience of peers and renowned researchers. The conference also provides a means for students to establish or enhance professional networks and partnerships leading to career opportunities in industry, academia, and government labs as well as professional memberships in one or more of the co-sponsoring societies. Since the control systems field is interdisciplinary in nature, student participants will have a unique opportunity to interact with their peers from other fields of engineering and from the pure sciences. The rich experience from such interactions will benefit their career and professional development. Students from engineering, mathematics and other pure sciences are eligible for funding from this project.Broader Impacts: By attracting individuals to the exciting field of control science and engineering while they are students, the 2010 ACC plays a vital role in the development of the next generation of researchers and practitioners. Control systems are ubiquitous; they can be found in such diverse areas as automated manufacturing systems, automobiles, manned/unmanned aircraft and space access vehicles, refineries, power plants, communication systems, chemical process control systems, and, more recently, the Internet, biomedical systems, the electrical power grid and green energy systems. Modern engineering systems are becoming increasingly complex in this information rich world. Advances in sensing and control technology are making it possible to manage and control modern complex engineering systems. Control systems technology is a critical area for the US industry and the future technological edge and security of the United States depends on maintaining a pool of trained scientists and engineers. The students funded under this project will lead the future advancement of control systems technology. Travel support for student participants, in the form of 2010 ACC Student Travel Grants, will be advertised nationally. Underrepresented groups including women, minorities, and disabled students will be especially encouraged to apply.
