This travel support enables U.S.-based students to attend the 20th ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2012 Conference, held in Redondo Beach, CA, USA, November 6-9, 2012 (http://acmgis2012.cs.umd.edu/). The ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS conference has established itself as the world's premier conference to foster research in the areas of Spatial Data and Analysis and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The conference provides a forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of GIS ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to storage management and indexing issues. It brings together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying out research and development in novel systems based on geospatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of GIS. It is the premier annual event of the ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL). The conference seeks to continuously advance the state of-the-art in spatial data management and spatial data analysis and broaden its impact.This grant provides partial travel support and conference registration for 30-35 qualified U.S. based graduate and promising undergraduate student participants. The students will greatly benefit from attending this conference, as they will be able to partake in the current state-of-the-art in the area of geospatial systems and applications, present their work, and potentially make connections for research collaborations and research mentoring. The total number of ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS participants in the past has been in excess of 250 participants, with a majority of the participants from the U.S., followed by Europe and Asia. The conference participation has shown a steady increase in the past few years due to the growing importance of geographic information. A strong representation of U.S.-based graduate students at ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS is useful in maintaining U.S. competitiveness in the important research areas crucial for U.S. infrastructures and applications that critically depend on geo-referenced information. Those who receive the award will be featured in the NSF Student Supported Research special section of the combined Poster, Demo, and PhD Showcase Session, a major event in the conference that is attended by all conference participants.

这种旅行支持使美国- 2012年11月6日至9日在美国加利福尼亚州雷东多海滩举行的第20届ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2012会议（http：//acmgis2012.cs.umd.edu/）。ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS会议已成为世界上首屈一指的会议，以促进空间数据和分析以及地理信息系统（GIS）领域的研究。会议为原创研究贡献提供了一个论坛，涵盖GIS的所有概念，设计和实施方面，从应用程序，用户界面和可视化到存储管理和索引问题。它汇集了研究人员，开发人员，用户和从业人员，他们在基于地理空间数据和知识的新系统中进行研究和开发，并促进跨学科的讨论和研究。这是ACM空间信息特别兴趣小组（ACM SIGSPATIAL）的年度活动。该会议旨在不断推进空间数据管理和空间数据分析的最新发展，并扩大其影响。该资助为30-35名合格的美国研究生和有前途的本科生参与者提供部分旅行支持和会议注册。学生们将大大受益于参加这次会议，因为他们将能够参与当前最先进的地理空间系统和应用领域，介绍他们的工作，并有可能为研究合作和研究指导建立联系。过去ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS参与者的总数超过250人，其中大多数参与者来自美国，其次是欧洲和亚洲。由于地理信息的重要性日益增加，过去几年来，参加会议的人数稳步增加。一个强大的美国代表- ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS的研究生在保持美国在重要研究领域的竞争力方面非常有用，这些研究领域对美国的基础设施和应用至关重要，这些基础设施和应用严重依赖地理参考信息。获奖者将在海报，演示和博士展示会的NSF学生支持研究特别部分中展出，这是所有与会者参加的会议中的一个重大事件。
