This award funds student participation in the 2020 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), which is the premier international conference in information theory, the scientific discipline that studies the mathematical foundations of reliable communications, whether by telephony, television, wireless or optical systems, and the fundamental limits of data storage, such as CDs, DVDs, flash drives, or other semiconductor media. The symposium series has run since 1954, originally every two years, and yearly since 2000. This project funds the participation of US-based students in this event. Participation at this conference will enhance the research experiences for students and provide increased opportunities for new collaborations.Students form an integral part of the Information Theory community, and the IEEE ISIT Conference continues to promote student participation through the ISIT Jack Kiel Wolf Best Student Paper Award, the creation of the ISIT tutorial series, and the Information Theory Society Student Committee. Students comprise about one-third of the participants at ISIT, and the travel funds offered through this award will support the attendance at the 2020 ISIT by up to 40 students enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program in the United States and whose papers have been accepted for presentation.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.

该奖项资助学生参加2020年IEEE信息理论国际研讨会（ISIT），这是信息理论的首要国际会议，研究可靠通信的数学基础的科学学科，无论是通过电话，电视，无线或光学系统，以及数据存储的基本限制，如CD，DVD，闪存驱动器或其他半导体介质。该系列研讨会自1954年开始举办，最初每两年举办一次，自2000年以来每年举办一次。该项目资助美国学生参加这一活动。参加这次会议将提高学生的研究经验，并提供新的合作机会增加。学生形成信息论社区的一个组成部分，IEEE ISIT会议继续通过ISIT杰克基尔沃尔夫最佳学生论文奖，ISIT教程系列的创建，和信息论社会学生委员会促进学生的参与。学生约占ISIT参与者的三分之一，通过该奖项提供的旅行资金将支持多达40名在美国就读研究生或本科生课程的学生参加2020年ISIT，他们的论文已被接受提交。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识产权进行评估来支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
