NSF Student Travel Grant for 2018 ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication (ACM/IEEE NanoCom)

由计算机协会（ACM）赞助的NanoCom系列会议旨在创建一个跨学科论坛，以促进和发展纳米级机器的新通信和计算范式。该会议自2014年以来每年举行一次，已成为纳米级计算和通信网络基本进展的参考场所。ACM NanoCom突出研究潜力，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、主题演讲和全体会议、最新主题教程和海报会议。欢迎新颖的研究成果和基于实现的解决方案。该奖项将支持10名美国学生参加将于2018年9月5日至7日在冰岛雷克雅未克举行的ACM NanoCom 2018。参加这样一个高水平的技术活动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密切互动和频繁讨论。ACM NanoCom 2018旨在成为进行此类讨论的论坛。学生们不仅可以接触到该领域的最新技术，而且还将有机会与来自世界各地机构的同行互动，与领先的研究人员会面，并参与可能塑造该领域未来的讨论。旅行补助金将针对那些将从参加本次会议中受益匪浅但旅行资金有限的研究生。优先考虑来自科学、技术、工程和数学领域代表性不足的群体的学生。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The NanoCom conference series, sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 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 2018, which will be held in Reykjavik, Iceland on September 5-7, 2018. Attending a high-caliber technical event such as this 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 2018 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 students from groups underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.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.
