Student Travel Support for ACM MobiHoc 2016

ACM Mobihoc一直是发表无线网络和移动计算理论和设计成果的主要场所，并且是吸引该领域领先研究人员的前两个场所之一。2016年的会议以技术项目为特色，其中有相当一部分来自美国几家机构的论文。鉴于本次会议的旅行费用较高，NSF的旅行补助金将用于支付旅行补助金获得者参加本次会议的部分费用。出席会议是研究人员生活中至关重要的一部分。通过为学生（特别是那些来自代表性不足群体的学生）创造参加高质量会议的新机会，该项目将在几个方面使研究界受益。学生自己也受益于在一个有利的环境中与许多其他研究人员见面和互动的机会，以及参加可能与他们的研究领域相关的研究报告。研究界受益于正在培养的学生的提高，以及新的研究人员视角的引入。此外，每个人都受益于参加会议的参与者的多样性。鉴于PI保留了一部分旅行资金，以在这一领域任职人数不足的群体为对象，这将增加这类赠款的国际曝光率。

ACM Mobihoc has been a premier venue for publishing results on the theory and design of wireless networks and mobile computing, and serves among the top two venues that attract leading researchers in this area. The 2016 edition of this conference features a technical program with a sizable portion of papers from several U.S.-based institutions. Given the high cost of travel to this venue, NSF travel grants provided by this award will be used to defray part of the expenses incurred in attending this conference for the travel grantees.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 benefits from the improvement of the students in the pipeline, and from the introduction of new researcher perspectives. Additionally, everybody benefits from increased diversity of participants attending the conference. Given that the PI has reserved a portion of the travel funds to target under-represented groups in this area, it will increase the international exposure for such grantees.
