NSF Student Travel Grant for 2016 ACM Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (ACM MobiCom)

ACM MobiCom大会是领先的国际会议，聚焦于新兴的移动计算和无线通信领域的系统问题。MobiCom 2016讨论的主题是当前无线网络发展的核心。这次会议吸引了多个学科的研究贡献，包括无线网络、车载通信、个人区域网、自组织网络、操作系统、分布式算法、数据处理、调度、传感器和信号处理。除了主要会议外，会议还为学生和研究人员提供了参加小组讨论、研讨会和演示的良好机会，这些小组讨论、研讨会和演示带来了移动、无线和临时网络和计算方面的杰出想法和应用。NSF旅行补助计划将有助于增加美国研究生和本科生参加这次会议的代表性和参与度，并使参与会议的学生能够分享信息和初步研究成果。像ACM MobiCom这样的顶级会议的参与是研究生院体验中极其重要的一部分，为学生提供了与更资深的研究人员互动的机会，并使他们接触到该领域的前沿研究。该奖项将使原本无法参加MobiCom 2016主要活动和相关研讨会的研究生能够参加。

The ACM MobiCom conference is the leading international conference focusing on systems issues in the emerging area of mobile computing and wireless communications. The topics addressed by MobiCom 2016 are at the core of the current wireless network evolution. The conference attracts research contributions spanning multiple disciplines, including wireless networking, vehicular communications, personal area networks, ad hoc networks, operating systems, distributed algorithms, data processing, scheduling, sensors, and signal processing. In addition to the main session, the conference also provides good opportunities to students and researchers to participate in panels, workshops and demos that bring in brilliant ideas and applications in mobile, wireless and ad hoc networking and computing.The NSF travel grant program will help increase representation and participation of United States-based graduate and undergraduate students at this conference, and enable sharing of information and preliminary research results among participating students. Participation of top conferences like ACM MobiCom is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, providing students with an opportunity to interact with more senior researchers, and exposing them to leading edge research in the field. The award will enable graduate students who would be otherwise unable, to attend the main MobiCom 2016 and the associated workshops.
