IEEE PerCom 2011 Student Travel Support

该旅行奖励将支持学生参加将于2011年3月21日至3月25日在华盛顿西雅图举行的IEEE普适计算和通信国际会议（PerCom）。这是普适计算社区的旗舰会议。会议提供了一个宝贵的机会，以展示研究成果，了解最先进的普及计算，并通过博士论坛培养博士生。对参与学生特别有价值的是博士论坛。除了传统的博士论坛，主要由海报介绍，2011年会议将扩大论坛，包括一个更具体的利益，学生参与者。特别是，PerCom 2011年博士论坛将包括一个封闭的会议，与会者将在会议开始前一天举行。学生和论坛委员会成员（约6人）将聚在一起进行工作会议，讨论与执行博士研究和建立博士论文后的职业生涯有关的问题。具体而言，论坛讨论的主题将包括讨论如何制定和贯彻研究问题，讨论和批评提出研究想法和解决方案，讨论和示范提供证据支持研究，以及一个小组专注于如何启动和维持研究生涯。旅行奖将侧重于特别招募妇女和少数民族学生参加会议，方法是在PerCom网页和针对妇女和少数民族学生的网站上宣传支持机会，包括NSF赞助的IGERT和REU网站。

This travel award will support student participation in the IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom) to be held from March 21st to March 25th, 2011, in Seattle, Washington. This is the flagship conference of the pervasive computing community. The conference offers a valuable opportunity to present research results, to learn about the state of the art in pervasive computing, and to train doctoral students through the PhD forum. Of particular value to participating students will be the PhD Forum. In addition to a traditional PhD Forum that consists primarily of poster presentations, the 2011 conference will extend the forum to include a more concrete benefit to student participants. In particular, the PerCom 2011 PhD Forum will include a closed session for participants that will take place one day before the conference starts. The students and the Forum committee members (approximately 6 individuals) will come together for a working session to discuss concerns related to performing PhD research and building a post-dissertation career. Specifically, topics discussed in the Forum will include discussions on how to formulate and follow through on research questions, discussions and critiques of presenting research ideas and solutions, discussions and demonstrations on providing evidence to support research, and a panel focused on how to launch and sustain a research career. The travel awards will focus on particularly recruiting women and minority students to attend the conference by advertising the support opportunity on the PerCom web page and on web sites targeted toward women and minority students, including NSF-sponsored IGERT and REU web sites.
