2013 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control. To be Held in Florence, Italy, December,10-13, 2013.

该提案要求支持学生前往将于2013年12月10日至13日在意大利佛罗伦萨举行的第52届IEEE决策与控制会议（CDC）。IEEE CDC是IEEE控制系统协会的年度旗舰会议，也是系统和控制领域的主要国际会议之一，以理论和应用为特色。该基金将为来自美国大学的30名学生提供部分资助，以参加会议并展示他们的研究成果。智力优势：系统和控制理论在现代复杂的技术系统中无处不在，从汽车到航空航天系统，生物医学系统，工业自动化系统，机器人技术和许多其他系统。越来越明显的是，目前对许多技术前沿的研究深受控制和系统理论的基础思想的影响。最近的第51届IEEE CDC收到了2300多份提交，并接受了1262份提交，其中许多是由学生与他们的教师顾问共同撰写的。拟议的资金使用的智力价值是，研究生将看到第一手如何控制和系统的基础正在发展和塑造在许多应用领域的研究前沿。更广泛的影响：与超过1000个预期的研究报告，包括全体会议演讲，研讨会和展览的CDC提供与会者接触到国家的最先进的控制研究和技术的新兴领域。这种旅行支持的更广泛影响是，它将有助于培训下一代系统和控制研究人员和从业人员。美国未来的安全和福祉依赖于在控制技术、系统工程和自动化等关键领域保持训练有素的科学家和工程师人才库。拟议项目下支持的学生代表了IEEE控制系统协会未来的技术领导者，该协会是该学科的世界领先专业组织。

This proposal requests support for student travel to the 52nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), which will be held in Florence, Italy, December 10-13, 2013. The IEEE CDC is the annual flagship conference of the IEEE Control Systems Society and one of the premier international conferences in the field of systems and control, featuring both theory and applications. The funds will provide partial support for up to thirty students from US colleges and universities to attend the conference and present their research results.Intellectual Merit:Systems and control theory is ubiquitous in modern, complex, technological systems, from automotive to aerospace systems, biomedical systems, industrial automation systems, robotics, and a host of other systems. It is increasingly evident that current research on many technological frontiers is heavily influenced by foundational ideas from control and system theory. The recent 51st IEEE CDC received over 2300 submissions and accepted 1262 for presentation, many of which are co-authored by students together with their faculty advisers. The intellectual merit of the proposed use of funds is that graduate students will see first-hand how the foundations of control and systems are evolving and shaping the frontiers of research in many applications domains.Broader Impacts:With over 1000 anticipated research presentations, including plenary lectures, workshops and exhibits the CDC provides attendees with exposure to the state-of-the-art in emerging areas of control research and technology. The broader impact of this travel support is that it will help train the next generation of system and control researchers and practitioners. The future security and well-being of the United States relies on maintaining pools of trained scientists and engineers in critical areas such as control technology, systems engineering and automation.The students to be supported under the proposed project represent the future technological leaders of the IEEE Control Systems Society, which is the world's leading professional organization in the discipline.
