US-Based Students Support to Attend the IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management 2013 (IEEE MDM 2013)

该提案寻求以旅行奖励的形式支持在美国的研究生和本科生参加将于2013年6月3日至6日在意大利米兰举行的第14届IEEE MDM 2013大会。MDM系列会议自1999年以来由IEEE协会每年组织一次，已成为一个著名的论坛，用于交流移动数据管理方面的创新和重要研究成果。会议为研究人员、工程师、从业者、开发人员和用户提供了独特的机会来探索移动数据管理的新思想、新技术和新工具，并交流经验。与会者将通过对已接受的技术论文、海报和演示的生动展示，以及相关领域的知名学者和行业专业人士的邀请演讲，参与互动。美国研究生和有前途的本科生的参与将导致年轻人的智力模拟，以追求在这一领域具有巨大技术和社会影响的先进研究和开发活动，并帮助美国保持在这一重要领域的领先地位。为了确保在传播会议成果方面产生更广泛的影响，并吸引移动数据管理领域的年轻研究人员的兴趣，该奖项将提供差旅资助，使学生能够参加IEEE MDM 2013以及与MDM 2013同时举行的研讨会。这样做的目的是鼓励那些没有机会参加这样一个会议的学生参加会议。补助金的分配将根据申请人的需要和影响而定。增加参加会议的多样性。少数民族学生、来自代表性不足的院校的学生以及有经济困难的学生将得到优先考虑。

This proposal seeks support in the form of travel awards for U.S.-based graduate and undergraduate students to participate in the 14th IEEE MDM 2013 Conference, which will be held in Milan, Italy, June 3-6, 2013. The MDM series of conferences, annually organized by the IEEE society since 1999, has established itself as a prestigious forum for the exchange of innovative and significant research results in mobile data management. The conference provides unique opportunities for researchers, engineers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore new ideas, techniques, and tools, and to exchange experiences in mobile data management. Attendees will participate interactions via lively presentations of accepted technical papers, posters and demos, and invited talks given by leading academics and industry professionals of related fields. The participation of US based graduate and promising undergraduate students will result in the intellectual simulation of young minds to pursue advanced research and development activities in this area that has huge technical and societal impact, and helps U.S. keep the leading position in this vital field. To ensure a broader impact in disseminating the results of the conference, and to garner interest among young researchers in the fields of mobile data management, this award is for travel grants enabling student travel to attend IEEE MDM 2013 and the workshops to be held in conjunction with the MDM 2013. The purpose is to encourage the attendance of students who otherwise would not have the opportunity to participate in such a conference.The allocation of the grants will be based on need and impact of the applicant?s attendance in increasing the diversity of conference participation. Minority students, students from underrepresented institutions, and students in financial need will be given higher priority.
