NSF CPS Week 2015 Student Travel Grant

这项提议是为了让美国教育机构的学生能够参加2015年CPSWeek会议集合，该会议将于2015年4月13日至17日在华盛顿州西雅图举行。CPSWeek是一年一度的网络物理系统国际多会议，包括五个主要的多天会议、多个为期一天的研讨会和教程。每年它都会从一个国家转移到另一个国家。出席会议将为学生提供一个独特的机会，听取和学习关于网络物理系统前沿主题的主题演讲、演讲、海报和演示，并与该领域的领导人和其他年轻研究人员建立网络。CPS研究预计将在许多领域产生积极的社会影响，包括交通、能源、农业、水/污水处理、环境管理和制造系统。这些系统必须安全、可靠、可靠、高效地运行，并对事件做出实时响应。CPS研究的一个关键特征是要求跨学科合作，如计算机科学、计算机体系结构和硬件、材料科学和传感器设计、软件工程、网络和控制工程。在这个本质上是跨学科的领域，合作是必不可少的，与其他研究人员见面尤其重要。CPSWeek将美国和国际CPS研究界聚集在一起。出于这些原因，积极参与这一活动，尤其是学生(我们的下一代研究人员)的参与，对于保持和推进美国的CPS研究非常重要。尤其是，该项目支持来自CPS研究社区中代表性不足的团体和机构的学生。

The proposal is to enable students from educational institutions in the United States to attend the CPSWeek 2015 collection of conferences, which are to be held April 13-17, 2015, in Seattle, Washington. CPSWeek is an annual international multi-conference for Cyber-Physical Systems, comprising five major multi-day conferences, multiple one-day workshops and tutorials. It moves from country to country each year. Attending the conference will provide students with a unique opportunity to listen to and learn from the keynote speeches, presentations, posters and demos on cutting edge topics on cyber-physical systems, and to network with both leaders and other young researchers in this area.CPS research is expected to have positive societal impacts in many areas, including transportation, energy, agriculture, water/sewage treatment, environmental management and manufacturing systems. These systems must operate safely, dependably, securely, efficiently and respond to events in real time. A key feature of CPS research is the requirement to cooperate across disciplines such as computer science, computer architecture and hardware, materials science and sensor design, software engineering, networking, and control engineering. In this inherently interdisciplinary field, where collaborations are essential, meeting other researchers is especially important. CPSWeek brings together the U.S. and international CPS research community. For these reasons, strong participation in this event, especially among students (our next generation of researchers) is important to maintaining and advancing CPS research in the U.S. In particular, this project supports students from groups and institutions that are underrepresented in the CPS research community.
