NSF Student Travel Grant for the 2019 ACM Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (ACM MobiCom)

第25届ACM移动计算与网络国际大会MobiCom将于2019年10月21日至25日在墨西哥洛斯卡波斯举行。Mobicom是研究人员在无线网络、无线传感、移动系统、边缘计算等领域解决算法和系统挑战的领先会议场所之一。Mobicom不仅鼓励研究人员突破边界、创新，还以体验论文、挑战论文、验证论文的形式，提供了一个讨论开放挑战、学习经验的平台。Mobicom通过研究报告、研讨会、主旨演讲、主题回顾会议和小组讨论，邀请来自不同研究领域、背景和地理位置的顶尖研究人员。会议与那里展示的研究类似，继续创新，为学生提供更多参与的机会。Mobicom 2019年推出了新的两个截止日期模式，并在秋季和夏季接受提交，在一轮提交后有机会进行“一次修改”，以鼓励更多和更高质量的提交。Mobicom有专门的活动来激励学生，如海报会议、演示、移动应用程序比赛、学生招聘会和创业比赛。NSF的旅行补助金将鼓励更多的学生参加会议，并利用与移动计算和网络领域的领先研究人员互动的好处，并从会议的高质量研究工作和讨论中获得动力。旅行补助计划在为少数族裔和代表性不足的学生提供从这种教育体验中受益的手段方面有着良好的记录。这一奖励反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 25th ACM international conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, MobiCom will be held in Los Cabos, Mexico between October 21 and 25, 2019. MobiCom is one of the leading conference venues for researchers addressing algorithmic and system challenges in the fields of wireless networks, wireless sensing, mobile systems, edge computing to name a few. MobiCom not only encourages researchers to push the boundaries and innovate, but also provides a platform to discuss open challenges and learn from experience in the form of Experience Papers, Challenge Papers, and Verification Papers. MobiCom invites leading researchers from diverse research areas, background, and geographical locations through research presentations, Workshops, Keynote Talks, Topic Review Sessions, and Panel Discussions.The conference, akin to the research presented there, continues to innovate and facilitate students with increased opportunities to get involved. MobiCom 2019 introduced a new two deadline model and accepts submissions in Fall and Summer, with scope for a "One-shot revision" after one round of submissions, to encourage more and higher-quality submissions. MobiCom has dedicated sessions to motivate students such as poster sessions, demos, mobile app competitions, student career fair and startup competitions. The NSF travel grant will encourage more students to attend the conference and avail the benefits of interacting with leading researchers in the areas of mobile computing and networking and get motivated by the high-quality research work and discussions in the conference. The travel grant program has a proven record of providing minority and underrepresented students the means to benefit from this educational experience.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.
