Student Travel Support for the CoSeRa Workshop. To be held in Pisa, Italy, June, 16-19, 2015

本提案的主要目的是为来自美国院校的研究生申请旅行支持，他们是一篇或多篇被接受的论文的共同作者，参加第三届压缩感知理论及其在雷达，声纳和遥感（CoSeRa）中的应用国际研讨会并展示他们的工作。这是CoSeRa系列研讨会的第三期，将于2015年6月16日至19日在意大利比萨举行。知识优势：2015年CoSeRa研讨会将具有高度的国际知名度，来自世界各地的压缩传感、雷达信号处理和遥感领域的杰出科学家将参与其中。每天，会议将提供一次全体会议，由著名科学家就研究和发展的关键主题进行演讲，以及一次口头和会后科学会议，与会者可以在会议的不同主题上展示他们的最新成果。通过这种方法，CoSeRa-2015将为美国研究生提供与信号处理研究和最佳系统开发领域的全球领导者接触的宝贵机会。更重要的是，学生将获得新的想法，导致更强，更完整的论文，并能把他们的贡献与正在进行的研究活动联系起来。从本质上讲，他们将接触到上述领域最新和最先进的发现。更广泛的影响：拟议的研究生参与将对美国机构在雷达，声纳和遥感等广泛应用领域的压缩传感研究产生积极影响。拟议的学生参与的更广泛影响将在不久的将来实现，因为这些加入美国劳动力的学生将更好地定位于不同工业部门的研究和开发活动，例如为执法，国土安全，国防以及汽车行业服务的部门。压缩传感产生低成本的系统设计，实现快速数据采集，并简化操作物流，这是许多此类应用中的关键考虑因素。

The main objective of this proposal is to request travel support for graduate students fromUS institutions, who are co-authors of one or more accepted papers, to participate and presenttheir work at the 3rd International Workshop on Compressed Sensing Theory and its Applicationsto Radar, Sonar and Remote Sensing (CoSeRa). This is the third edition of the CoSeRa workshop series, which will be held in Pisa, Italy, from June 16-19, 2015.Intellectual Merit:The 2015 CoSeRa Workshop will have a highly international profile, with participation from eminent scientists in the Compressing Sensing, Radar Signal Processing and RemoteSensing fields from all over the world. Every day, the conference will offer one plenary session,given by renowned scientists on key topics of research and development, and an oral and posterparallel scientific sessions, where participants can present their most recent results onthe different topics of the conference. Using this approach, CoSeRa-2015 will serve as aninvaluable occasion for US graduate students to get in touch with the worldwide leaders insignal processing research and optimum system development. More importantly, the studentswill gain new ideas leading to stronger and more complete theses, and can put their contributionsin perspective and relative to the ongoing research activities. In essence, they will be exposedto the most recent and advanced findings in the aforementioned areas.Broader Impacts: The proposed graduate student participation is poised to have a positive impact on compressivesensing research in US institutions in the broad application areas of radar, sonar, and remotesensing. The broader impact of the proposed student participation will materialize in thenear future, as these students joining the US workforce will be better positioned to spearheadresearch and development activities in diverse industrial sectors, such as those serving lawenforcement, homeland security, and defense as well as the automotive industries. CompressiveSensing yields low cost system design, enables fast data acquisition, and simplifies operationallogistics, which are crucial considerations in many such applications.
