Travel for 2016 IEEE Thirteenth International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS-2016)

最近对无线网络和移动计算的研究集中在单跳网络上，在单跳网络中，网络节点直接与固定的基础设施(如蜂窝或卫星系统)通信。在自组织网络和传感器网络中，网络节点通过其他网络节点进行通信，涵盖了会议、医院、战场、救援和监控等多跳场景。考虑到这一领域日益重要，IEEE MASS正在组织起来。第十三次会议计划于2016年10月10日至13日在巴西巴西利亚举行。该项目为美国博士生提供参加IEEE MASS 2016大会的旅费，这些博士生可能因为经济原因而无法参加。学生们将接触到会议，这是一个对他们的职业成熟和发展至关重要的技术论坛。获奖者将由一个由四名资深研究人员组成的委员会选出，并将优先考虑来自代表性不足群体的学生。

Recent research on wireless networks and mobile computing has concentrated on single hop networks, where network nodes communicating directly to a fixed infrastructure such as cellular or satellite systems. In ad-hoc and sensor networks, multi-hop scenarios such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue and monitoring scenarios are covered, where network nodes communicate via other network nodes. Looking at the increasing importance of this area, IEEE MASS is being organized. The thirteenth meeting is planned for October 10-13, 2016 in Brasilia, Brazil. This project supports travel to the IEEE MASS 2016 conference for US based Ph.D. students who might not otherwise be able to attend for financial reasons. Students will be exposed to the conference, a technical forum that is critical for their professional maturity and development. The recipients will be chosen by a committee of four senior researchers and preference will be given to students from underrepresented groups.
