NSF Student Travel Grant for 2017 ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication (ACM NanoCom)

ACM NanoCom系列会议旨在创建一个跨学科的论坛，以促进和开发纳米机器的新通信和计算模式。该会议自2014年以来每年举行一次，已成为纳米计算和通信网络基本进展的参考场所。ACM NanoCom强调研究潜力，激发新颖和突破性的想法，并确定其短期和中期开发目标。会议的特点是公开征集论文，以及主题演讲和全体会议，最先进的主题教程和海报会议。新颖的研究成果和基于实施的解决方案都是受欢迎的。该奖项将支持10名美国学生参加ACM NanoCom 2017，该展会将于2017年9月27-29日在美国华盛顿DC举行。参加这样高水平的技术会议对未来的研究人员来说是非常有价值的。这是一个真正的跨学科领域，需要与跨越不同领域的专家进行密切互动和频繁讨论。ACM NanoCom 2017旨在成为此类讨论的论坛。学生不仅将接触到该领域的最新技术，而且他们还将有机会与来自世界各地的机构的同行互动，与领先的研究人员会面，并参加可能塑造该领域未来的讨论。旅行赠款将针对研究生谁将大大受益于参加这次会议，但有有限的旅行资金。优先考虑在STEM中代表性不足的学生群体。

The ACM NanoCom conference series aims at creating a trans-disciplinary forum to foster and develop new communications and computing paradigms for nanoscale machines. The conference has been held annually since 2014, and has become the reference venue for fundamental advances in nanoscale computing and communication networks. ACM NanoCom highlights research potentials, stimulates novel and breakthrough ideas, and identifies their short- and medium-term exploitation goals. The conference features an open call for papers as well as keynote and plenary talks, tutorials on state-of-the-art topics, and poster sessions. Both novel research results and implementation-based solutions are welcome. This award will support 10 students in the United States to attend ACM NanoCom 2017, which will be held in Washington DC, USA on September 27-29, 2017. Attending such high-caliber technical venue is extremely valuable for future researchers. This is a truly inter-disciplinary field, which requires close interaction and frequent discussions with experts that span different areas. ACM NanoCom 2017 is aimed at becoming the forum for such discussions to occur. Students will not only be exposed to the state-of the-art in the field, but they will also have the opportunity to interact with peers from institutions worldwide, meet with leading researchers, and take part in discussions that are likely to shape the future of the field. The travel grants will target graduate students who will substantially benefit from attending this conference but have limited travel funds. Priority will be given to underrepresented student groups in STEM.
