CIF: NSF Student Travel Grant for 2019 IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC 2019)

该奖项为来自美国院校的最多10名学生提供旅行支持，以参加将于2019年7月2日至5日在法国戛纳举行的2019年IEEE无线通信信号处理进展国际研讨会（SPAWC）。SPAWC是IEEE信号处理学会的旗舰年度会议之一，将于2019年庆祝其成立20周年。SPAWC致力于传播无线通信、网络和信息理论的信号处理进展。研讨会的组织委员会和技术计划委员会每年都有变化，由来自世界各地从事通信、信号处理和信息理论交叉研究的杰出科学家组成。SPAWC提供了一种独特的传播思想的形式，将主题演讲与海报展示相结合，使参与比许多其他会议更具互动性。这是一个小型（通常每年150-250人参加）但非常集中的会议，它提供了参与者之间更深入的互动。提交给SPAWC的论文经过同行评审，被接受的论文将作为论文集出版，并在IEEE explore上进行数字存档。学生活动包括最佳学生论文比赛，与主题演讲者共进午餐，以及为代表性不足的群体提供指导机会。获得旅行奖励的学生将有充足的机会与同行、导师和该领域的知名研究人员建立联系，并在研讨会结束时就活动成果提供推荐。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。

This award provides travel support for up to ten students from US institutions to participate in 2019 IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances for Wireless Communications (SPAWC), which will take place in Cannes, France, July 2-5, 2019. SPAWC is one of the flagship annual conferences of the IEEE Signal Processing Society and will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2019. SPAWC is devoted to dissemination of advances in signal processing for wireless communications, networking, and information theory. The workshop's Organizing Committee and Technical Program Committee, which change from year to year, comprise eminent scientists from around the world working at the intersection of communications, signal processing and information theory. SPAWC offers a unique format for dissemination of ideas by mixing keynotes with poster presentations, making participation more interactive than many other conferences. It is a small (usually 150-250 participants every year) but very focused conference, which affords deeper interactions among the participants. Papers submitted to SPAWC are peer-reviewed and accepted papers are published as a proceedings volume and digitally archived on IEEE Xplore.Student activities include a best student paper contest, luncheons with keynote speakers, and mentoring opportunities for underrepresented groups. The students supported on this travel award will have ample opportunities to network with their peers, mentors, and eminent researchers in this field, and will provide testimonials on the outcomes of this activity at the end of the workshop.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.
