Student Travel Support for the 2018 International Green and Sustainable Computing Conference

本提案用于支持参加2018年国际绿色和可持续计算会议（IGSC）的差旅费。 IGSC已成为这一领域的首要会议。绿色计算是一个新兴的研究领域，它是一个跨学科的研究领域，跨越了计算机科学与工程，电气工程和其他工程学科。绿色计算或可持续计算是有效利用计算资源的研究和实践，这反过来又会影响经济，生态和社会目标的范围。这些做法包括采用节能的中央处理器和外围设备以及减少资源消耗。此外，IGSC涵盖了使用计算和信息系统来实现电网，环境，气候，农业和许多其他社会和经济应用的可持续性的应用程序和系统。 会议为研究人员、行业参与者和学生提供了一个论坛，让他们越来越意识到有效使用计算资源的研究和实践，这反过来又会影响经济、生态和社会目标。该补助金允许对绿色或可持续建筑，网络，电路设计，软件和应用感兴趣的学生，以及对在其他领域使用计算可持续性感兴趣的学生，找到他们选择的主题的有用信息。它还为全国各地的许多学生提供了一个很好的机会，以熟悉和从事一个新的研究领域的国家重要性。学生没有在IGSC的论文或其他没有资源，使机会参加IGSC将有资格获得这些旅费赠款。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。

This proposal is for support of a travel to the 2018 International Green and Sustainable Computing Conference (IGSC). IGSC has established itself as the premier conference in this area. Green computing is a newly evolving research area that is establishing itself as an interdisciplinary research area spanning across the fields of computer science and engineering, electrical engineering and other engineering disciplines. Green computing or sustainable computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently, which in turn can impact a spectrum of economic, ecological, and social objectives. Such practices include the implementation of energy-efficient central processing units and peripherals as well as reduced resource consumption. In addition, IGSC covers applications and systems that use computing and information systems to accomplish sustainability in power grid, environment, climate, agriculture, and many other social and economic applications. The conference offers researchers, industry participants, and students the forum for a growing awareness of the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently, which in turn can impact a spectrum of economic, ecological, and social objectives. The grant allows students interested in green or sustainable architecture, networks, circuit design, software, and applications, as well as students interested in use of computing for sustainability in other areas, to find useful information on the topics of their choice. It also provides an excellent opportunity for many students nationwide to get familiar with and engage in a new research area of national importance. Students not having a paper in IGSC or otherwise without the resources that allow the opportunity to attend IGSC will be eligible for these travel grants.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.
