SenSys, ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems, is a highly selective scientific forum that has successfully created fundamental knowledge and technologies to build the sensors and smart systems, from the wireless sensors in homes and offices to large-scale sensors, networks, and data analytics in smart infrastructures and cities. The conference brings together researchers from the fields of wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and hardware, energy harvesting and management, distributed systems and algorithms, data management, and applications and thus is an ideal venue for beginning researchers and PhD students to get to know the field from disciplinary and cross-disciplinary perspectives. The goal of this project is to provide funding for attending SenSys by PhD students who are enrolled in the US institutions of higher learning. The project will enable students who are not well-funded or who belong to underrepresented groups to attend SenSys. The students will not only gain exposure to the leading researchers in the field but also network with peers and start research collaborations as they take leadership roles in research.This project will enable approximately 16 Ph.D. from recognized US institution of higher education to attend SenSys. A grant selection committee will select the participants based on their financial need, research potential, and their ability to benefit from this attendance while increasing diversity among SenSys attendees. SenSys and the field of sensing and smart systems will benefit from this increased diversity and engagement from the US-based PhD students. The students will benefit from exposure to the leading researchers in the field and with increased networking and collaboration opportunities at SenSys.

SenSys，ACM嵌入式网络传感器系统会议，是一个高度选择性的科学论坛，已成功地创造了基础知识和技术，以建立传感器和智能系统，从家庭和办公室的无线传感器到智能基础设施和城市的大规模传感器，网络和数据分析。会议汇集了来自无线通信和网络，嵌入式系统和硬件，能量收集和管理，分布式系统和算法，数据管理和应用领域的研究人员，因此是初学者和博士生的理想场所从学科和跨学科的角度了解该领域。该项目的目标是为就读于美国高等院校的博士生提供参加SenSys的资金。该项目将使资金不足或属于代表性不足群体的学生能够参加SenSys。学生们不仅将接触到该领域的领先研究人员，还将与同行建立联系，并在研究中发挥领导作用时开始研究合作。该项目将使大约16名博士生获得博士学位。从公认的美国高等教育机构参加SenSys。资助选择委员会将根据参与者的财务需求、研究潜力以及他们从出席会议中受益的能力来选择参与者，同时增加SenSys与会者的多样性。SenSys以及传感和智能系统领域将受益于美国博士生的多样性和参与度。学生将受益于接触到该领域的领先研究人员，并在SenSys增加网络和合作机会。
