NSF CPS: Student Travel Grant Cyber-Physical Systems Week 2017

该提案旨在让来自美国教育机构的学生参加2017年CPSWeek系列会议，该会议将于2017年4月18日至21日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行。CPSWeek是一年一度的网络物理系统国际多会议，包括五个主要的多天会议，五个为期一天的研讨会和四个为期一天的教程。CPSWeek是网络物理系统研究的顶级会议，今年的活动将吸引700多名研究人员和与会者。会议每年从一个国家迁移到另一个国家。参加会议将为学生提供一个独特的机会，聆听和学习网络物理系统前沿主题的主题演讲、演示、海报和演示，并与该领域的领导者和其他年轻研究人员建立联系。这是CPSWeek系列会议的第十次会议。CPS研究有望在许多领域产生积极的社会影响，包括交通、能源、农业、水/污水处理、环境管理和制造系统。这些系统必须安全、可靠、安全、高效地运行，并实时响应事件。CPS研究的一个关键特征是需要跨学科合作，如计算机科学、计算机体系结构和硬件、材料科学和传感器设计、软件工程、网络和控制工程。在这个固有的跨学科领域，合作是必不可少的，与其他研究人员会面尤为重要。大力参与这一活动，特别是学生（我们的下一代研究人员）对于维持和推进美国的CPS研究非常重要。该提案包括一个基于研究声明和学生部门信件的学生选拔机制。在美国学习的少数族裔学生和未出席会议的学生将得到优先考虑。

The proposal is to enable students from educational institutions in the United States to attend the CPSWeek 2017 collection of conferences, which are to be held April 18-21, 2017, in Pittsburgh, PA. CPSWeek is an annual international multi-conference for Cyber-Physical Systems, comprising five major multi-day conferences, five one-day workshops, and four one-day tutorials. CPSWeek is the premier conference for cyber physical systems research, and and this year's event will bring more than 700 researchers and attendees. The conferences moves from country to country each year. Attending the conference will provide students with a unique opportunity to listen and learn from the keynote speeches, presentations, posters and demos on cutting edge topics on cyber-physical systems, and to network with both leaders and other young researchers in this area. This is the tenth in the series of CPSWeek conferences.CPS research is expected to have positive societal impacts in many areas, including transportation, energy, agriculture, water/sewage treatment, environmental management and manufacturing systems. These systems must operate safely, dependably, securely, efficiently and respond to events in real time. A key feature of CPS research is the requirement to cooperate across disciplines such as computer science, computer architecture and hardware, material science and sensor design, software engineering, networking, and control engineering. In this inherently interdisciplinary field, where collaborations are essential, meeting other researchers is especially important. Strong participation in this event, especially among students (our next generation of researchers) is important to maintaining and advancing CPS research in the US. The proposal includes a mechanism for student selection based on a research statement and letter from student department. Priority will be given to under represented minority students studying in the US and to those not presenting at the conference.
