Student Travel for 53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, Los Angeles, CA, December 15-17, 2014

为2014年决策与控制会议提供学生旅费支持该提案是为了支持学生前往第53届IEEE决策与控制会议（CDC），该会议将于2014年12月15日至17日在加州洛杉矶举行。五十多年来，疾控中心一直是世界？为对系统和控制理论以及系统和控制技术基础感兴趣的科学和工程研究人员提供的主要年度论坛。与往年一样，第53届疾控中心将以发表投稿和受邀论文、辅导会议、全体会议和半全体会议以及讲习班为特色。一年一度的CDC涵盖的主题范围非常广泛，反映了控制和系统理论的各种应用。系统理论方法在许多影响日常生活的当代基础设施和技术的发展中发挥了关键作用。系统和控制理论工具是网络物理系统设计、操作和安全的核心，它们可以告诉工程师如何控制大型网络，如电力系统、通信系统和交通管理。会议将为学生提供一个独特的机会，在一个令人兴奋的环境中与专业社区成员互动，并与广泛的同事交流思想。会议前的大量讲习班和许多介绍的互动形式将提供更多的培训和学习机会。外展工作将致力于向代表性不足的少数民族宣传会议和学生旅行奖励计划。

Student Travel Support for 2014 Conference on Decision and ControlThe proposal is to support student travel to the 53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), to be held in Los Angeles, CA, December 15-17, 2014. For over fifty years, the CDC has been the world?s leading annual forum for scientific and engineering researchers who share an interest in systems and control theory and the foundations of systems and control technology. As in previous years, the 53rd CDC will feature the presentation of contributed and invited papers, tutorial sessions, as well as plenary and semi-plenary sessions and workshops. The range of topics covered at the annual CDC is extremely broad, mirroring the varied applications of control and systems theory. The systems theoretic approaches have played a critical role in the development of many contemporary infrastructures and technology affecting everyday life. Systems and control theoretic tools are central in the design, operation, and security of cyber-physical systems, where they can inform engineers about ways to control large networks such as power systems, communications systems and traffic management. The conference will afford a unique opportunity for students to interact with members of the professional community in a stimulating setting, and to exchange ideas with a broad group of colleagues. The large number of workshops before the conference and the interactive format of many of the presentations will allow additional opportunity for training and learning. Outreach effort will be devoted to advertising the conference and the student travel award program to under-represented minorities.
