Support for Student and Postdoc Participation in the 9th IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (IEEE CASE 2013)

该助学金提供差旅支持，使学生和博士后能够参加将于2013年8月17-21日在威斯康星州麦迪逊市举行的第九届IEEE国际自动化科学与工程会议(IEEE CASE 2013)。这些资金将大大有助于减少学生和博士后的旅行费用负担，从而提高学生和博士后对会议的参与度。预计将有20名学生和博士后从这些旅行基金中受益。学生和博士后是IEEE社区和会议不可或缺的一部分。他们以不同的方式参与，包括发表与研究生和本科生研究有关的论文和海报，参加技术会议，参加论文比赛，奖学金颁奖活动等。IEEE Case的学生和博士后的积极参与促使一些人选择了研究生院，甚至是学术生涯。NSF的支持将有助于确保高水平的学生和博士后参与IEEE Case 2013。IEEE案例为学生和博士后提供了一个极好的机会来扩大他们工作的影响。作为工业工程领域的重要年度会议，它是美国和国际学术界和工业界研究人员展示研究成果和交流思想的场所。IEEE Case的会场将汇聚工业界、学术界、政府和其他组织中所有相关学科的从业者、供应商和研究人员。IEEE Case是学生和博士后与同行、潜在雇主或未来合作者建立网络的绝佳机会。通过旅行补助，IEEE社区将能够增加学生和博士后对会议的参与。

This grant provides travel support to enable students and postdocs to attend the 9th IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (IEEE CASE 2013) that will be held in Wisconsin, Madison, 17-21 August 2013. These funds will go a long way in reducing the travel cost burden on students and postdocs and thereby improve student and postdoc participation in the conference. It is expected that 20 students and postdocs will benefit from these travel funds. Students and postdocs form an integral part of the IEEE community and conferences. They participate in different ways, including presenting papers and posters related to graduate and undergraduate research, attending technical sessions, participating in paper competitions, scholarship award functions and so on. Strong student and postdoc participation at IEEE CASE has motivated some to pursue graduate school options and even academic careers. NSF support will help ensure a high student and postdoc participation in IEEE CASE 2013. IEEE CASE provides an excellent opportunity for students and postdocs to broaden the impact of their work. Being an important annual conferences in the field of IE, it is a venue for US and international researchers in both academia and industry to showcase research results and exchange ideas. The venue of IEEE CASE will bring together practitioners, vendors, and researchers in all related disciplines in industry, academia, government, and other organizations. IEEE CASE is an excellent opportunity for students and postdocs to network with peers, potential employers, or future collaborators. Through the travel grant, the IEEE community will be able to increase the student and postdoc participation in the conference.
