NSF CPS Week 2015 Student Travel Grant

该提案是为了使来自美国教育机构的学生能够参加将于2015年4月13日至17日在华盛顿西雅图举行的CPSWeek 2015会议系列。CPSWeek是一年一度的网络物理系统国际会议，包括五个主要的为期多天的会议，多个为期一天的研讨会和教程。它每年从一个国家转移到另一个国家。参加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，并与该领域的领导者和其他年轻研究人员建立联系。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、安全、有效地运行，并对事件作出真实的反应。CPS研究的一个关键特征是需要跨学科合作，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。在这个固有的跨学科领域，合作是必不可少的，满足其他研究人员是特别重要的。CPSWeek汇集了美国和国际CPS研究界。由于这些原因，在这个事件的强烈参与，特别是在学生（我们的下一代研究人员）是重要的，以保持和推进CPS研究在美国特别是，这个项目支持来自团体和机构的学生在CPS研究界代表性不足。

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.
