CIF: Student Travel Support for the 2015 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory

IEEE信息理论国际研讨会(ISIT)是信息理论学会的年度会议，自1954年以来连续举行。它涵盖了与信息论研究有关的各种主题，包括编码、通信和通信网络、复杂性和密码学、检测和估计、学习、香农理论、随机过程和信息论的新兴应用。它被认为是IEEE最重要的会议之一。ITIT传统上也吸引了大量的学生，约占参与者总数的40%。对于学生来说，这是一个极好的学习机会，也是为未来建立有用的研究合作的一种手段。为美国学生前往iSIT提供一些支持，特别是考虑到他们需要长途旅行才能到达2015年，这将是确保学生积极参与的关键。因此，该项目为2015年iSIT会议提供学生旅行支持。

The IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT) is the annual conference of the information theory society, and has been held continuously since 1954. It covers a variety of topics related to the studies on information theory, including coding, communications and communication networks, complexity and cryptography, detection and estimation, learning, Shannon Theory, stochastic processes, and emerging applications of information theory. It is considered one of the premier IEEE conferences. ISIT has also traditionally attracted a large number of students, comprising around 40 percent of the participant population. ISIT is an excellent learning opportunity for students as well as a means to establish useful research collaborations for the future. Providing some support for student in the US to travel to ISIT, especially given the long distance they need to travel to ISIT 2015, will be crucial to ensuring a vibrant student participation.This project therefore provides student travel support for the 2015 ISIT meeting.
