NSF Student Travel Grant for 2018 ACM International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services (ACM MobiSys)

ACM MobiSys是ACM SIGMOBILE赞助的一系列年度会议的一部分。MobiSys大会上报告的研发成果涵盖多个学科，包括无线网络和通信、移动传感和众包应用、可穿戴计算、车载和机器人无线系统、操作系统、分布式算法、数据管理、能源管理、传感器、安全和隐私。MobiSys寻求为研究人员提供一个跨学科的场所，在集成系统的背景下解决移动计算的设计问题。除了常规会议计划外，MobiSys 2018还将包括一系列技术研讨会、研究演示和海报会议。该提案要求提供资金，以支持美国研究生参加将于2018年6月10日至15日在德国慕尼黑举行的ACM MobiSys 2018。旅行津贴将使优秀学生能够利用这次聚会，并与移动系统领域的顶尖研究人员互动。通过参加会议，学生们将能够在与该领域的专家和他们的同龄人讨论时确定和/或提高他们的职业目标。在选择获奖者时，奖项遴选委员会将强调代表人数不足的群体(妇女和少数族裔)和第一次参加会议的人的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

ACM MobiSys is part of a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE. The research and development results reported in MobiSys conferences span multiple disciplines, including wireless networks and communication, mobile sensing and crowd sourcing applications, wearable computing, vehicular and robotic wireless systems, operating systems, distributed algorithms, data management, energy management, sensors, security and privacy. MobiSys seeks to provide a cross-disciplinary venue for researchers addressing the design of mobile computing in the context of an integrated system. In addition to the regular conference program, MobiSys 2018 will include a set of technical workshops, research demonstrations, and a poster session.This proposal requests funds to support US-based graduate students to attend ACM MobiSys 2018 to be held in Munich, Germany, on June 10 - 15, 2018. The travel grant will enable meritorious students to take advantage of this gathering and interact with the top researchers in the field of mobile systems. Through conference participation, students will be able to identify and/or sharpen their career goals during discussions with experts in the field and also with their peers. While selecting award recipients, the award selection committee will emphasize participation of under-represented groups (women and minorities) and first time attendees with no accepted papers at the conference.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
