The oceans are integral to climate regulation, nutrient production, oil retrieval and transportation. As such, there is significant interest in monitoring aquatic environments for scientific, environmental, commercial, safety, and military reasons. While there is a need for highly precise, real-time, fine grained spatiotemporal sampling of the ocean environment, current methods such as remote telemetry and sequential local sensing cannot satisfy current requirements, let alone future ones. The notion of an underwater network is relatively new due to the lack of maturity of underwater acoustic communications. However, networks are critical in order to achieve the monitoring goals noted above. The physical challenges of acoustic underwater communication and the complexity of diverse aquatic environments require us to completely re-think how a network should be deployed in underwater environments.Following the First, Second, Third, and Fourth ACM International Workshops on Underwater Networks (WUWNet) that took place in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009, the Fifth ACM WUWNet - WUWNet 2010 - will be held in Woods Hole, MA, September 30 - October 1, 2010. This proposal's main goal is to foment graduate student participation in the WUWNet 2010 workshop by students that might normally find it difficult to attend. The funding will be used to support the travel and attendance costs of the selected students. Participation in the workshop is expected to benefit the experience of a graduate program, providing students with the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and peer graduate students, to be exposed to leading edge work in the field, and take part in discussions that are likely to shape the future of the field. Criteria will include evidence of research in underwater communication and networking, and/or a serious interest in underwater communication and networking as demonstrated by coursework and/or project experience. Women and minorities will be given preference when other qualifications are similar.

海洋是气候调节、营养物质生产、石油回收和运输不可或缺的组成部分。因此，出于科学、环境、商业、安全和军事原因，对监测水生环境存在重大兴趣。虽然需要对海洋环境进行高度精确、实时、精细的时空采样，但目前的方法，如遥感遥测和连续局部感测，不能满足当前的要求，更不用说未来的要求了。由于水声通信技术尚不成熟，水下网络的概念相对较新。然而，网络对于实现上述监测目标至关重要。水声通信的物理挑战和复杂的水环境要求我们重新思考如何在水下环境中部署网络。继2006年、2007年、2008年和2009年举行的第一、第二、第三和第四届ACM水下网络国际研讨会（WUWNet）之后，第五届ACM WUWNet - WUWNet 2010 -将于2010年9月30日至10月1日在马萨诸塞州的伍兹霍尔举行。该提案的主要目标是鼓励研究生参与WUWNet 2010年研讨会，这些研讨会通常很难参加。这笔资金将用于支持选定的学生的旅行和出勤费用。参加研讨会预计将有利于研究生课程的经验，为学生提供与更资深的研究人员和同行研究生互动的机会，接触该领域的前沿工作，并参加可能塑造该领域未来的讨论。标准将包括水下通信和网络研究的证据，和/或通过课程和/或项目经验证明的水下通信和网络的严重兴趣。在其他资格条件相似的情况下，妇女和少数民族将优先考虑。
