There is a need for highly precise, real time, fine grained spatiotemporal sampling of the ocean environment, which forms the vast majority of the surface area of our planet, but yet is 90% unexplored. Current methods such as remote telemetry and sequential local sensing cannot satisfy current requirements, let alone future ones. The notion of an underwater network is relatively new due to the lack of maturity of underwater acoustic communications. And yet, networks are critical in order to achieve the monitoring goals noted above. The Ninth ACM International Conference on Underwater Networks & Systems (WUWNet?14), to be held in Rome, Italy, is a leading conference showcasing research in this area, and features a rich technical program, including technical sessions, keynote speeches as well as poster and demo sessions. This award will promote student participation in WUWNet'14 by supporting their travel and registration costs to the conference.Conference attendance is a crucial part of the life of a researcher. By creating new opportunities for students (especially those from under-represented groups) to attend a high-quality conference, this project will benefit the research community in several ways. The students themselves benefit from the opportunity to meet and interact with many other researchers in a favorable setting, and from attending research presentations that may be related to their research areas. The research community also benefits by training the next generation of researchers.

需要对海洋环境的高度精确，实时的，细颗粒的时空采样，这构成了我们星球的绝大多数表面积，但尚未探索90％。当前的方法，例如远程遥测和顺序局部传感，无法满足当前需求，更不用说未来的需求了。由于水下声音通信的成熟度缺乏，水下网络的概念相对较新。但是，网络对于实现上述监视目标至关重要。在意大利罗马举行的第九届ACM国际水下网络和系统会议（Wuwnet？14）是一项领先的会议，展示了该领域的研究，并采用丰富的技术课程，包括技术会议，主题演讲，海报和演示。该奖项将通过支持他们的旅行和会议的注册费用来促进学生参加Wuwnet'14的参与。会议出勤是研究人员生活的关键部分。通过为学生（尤其是来自代表性不足的团体的学生）参加高质量会议的新机会，该项目将以几种方式使研究社区受益。学生自己受益于在有利的环境中与许多其他研究人员见面和互动的机会，并参加可能与他们的研究领域有关的研究演讲。 研究界还通过培训下一代研究人员而受益。
