Student Travel Support for ACM MobiHoc 2016

ACM网络中心一直是发布无线网络和移动的计算理论和设计成果的主要场所，也是吸引该领域领先研究人员的两大场所之一。本次会议的2016年版的特点是一个技术计划，其中有相当大一部分来自美国的几篇论文。基于机构。鉴于前往该地点的高昂费用，本奖项提供的NSF差旅赠款将用于支付受资助者参加本次会议的部分费用。参加会议是研究人员生活的重要组成部分。通过为学生（特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体）参加高质量的会议创造新的机会，该项目将在几个方面使研究界受益。学生本身受益于在有利的环境中与许多其他研究人员会面和互动的机会，以及参加可能与他们的研究领域相关的研究报告。研究社区受益于管道中的学生的改进，并从引入新的研究人员的观点。此外，每个人都受益于参加会议的参与者的多样性。鉴于公共政策研究所为这一领域代表性不足的群体预留了一部分差旅费，这将增加这些受赠者的国际曝光率。

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.
