Student Travel Support for the 2020 IEEE SGComm Conference. To be Held November, 11-13, 2020 at Arizona State University.

该提案要求支持学生参加2020年IEEE智能网格通信会议（SGComm 2020），该会议原定于2020年10月6日至9日在亚利桑那州坦佩举行，但由于COVID-19大流行，现在将于2020年11月11日至13日举行虚拟会议。SGComm 2020已进入第11个年头，是IEEE通信协会的一个成熟的年度会议，重点关注电网和能源系统中新兴的数据和信息处理挑战。会议为与会者提供了分享与能源系统的各种计算、通信、传感和信息处理方面有关的科学发现的机会。SGComm 2020是IEEE通信协会的重要会议，今年的主题是“可持续电网的可靠传感、通信、处理和分析”。会议将以全面的高质量技术计划为特色，包括通信和网络、网络安全和隐私、控制和操作、网格分析和计算等4个专题讨论会，以及针对新出现的挑战和主题的教程和研讨会。该活动将聚集研究电网各个方面的研究人员和从业人员，包括传感、数据处理、计算、通信、数据分析和信息科学，这些都是当今确保可靠和弹性电网运行的关键。最后，会议还包括两场主要研究人员的主题演讲和一场由行业和学术领袖参与的小组讨论，讨论如何利用技术和数据科学来应对新十年的关键挑战：面对气候变化的电网弹性和可持续能源利用。该提案通过向会议提供注册费的方式，邀请约25名在美国院校就读的学生（以及在国际院校就读的美国公民）参加。这种参与将对美国机构以电网为中心的研究和劳动力发展产生积极影响。它将有助于培养下一代工程专业人员，他们可以推进和确保电网中计算、数据、安全和分析技术的集成，同时保持对可持续性、可靠性和弹性的关注。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 proposal requests support for students to participate in the 2020 IEEE SmartGridCommunications Conference (SGComm 2020), which was originally to take place in Tempe, AZ, October 6--9, 2020, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic will now be a virtual conference taking place from Nov. 11-13, 2020. The SGComm 2020, in its eleventh year, is a well established annual conference of the IEEE Communications Society focused on emerging data and information processing challenges in the electric power grid and energy systems. The conference offers opportunities to its participants for sharing of scientific discoveries related to various computing, communications, sensing, and information processing aspects of energy systems. SGComm 2020, a key conference of the IEEE Communications Society, has a theme this year entitled “Trustworthy Sensing, Communications, Processing and Analytics for a Sustainable Grid”. The conference will feature a comprehensive high-quality technical program including 4 symposia on Communications and Networking,Cyber Security and Privacy, Control and Operations, Grid Analytics and Computation as well as tutorials and workshops focused on emerging challenges and topics. The event will gather researchers and practitioners studying various aspects of the electric power grid including sensing, data processing, computing, communications, data analytics, and information sciences that are key today to ensure reliable and resilient grid operations. Finally, the conference also includes two keynote talks by leading researchers and a panel discussion, involving industry and academic leaders, on the ways to leverage technology and data science to address the key challenges for the new decade: grid resilience and sustainable energy use in the face of climate change. This proposal requests participation of about 25 students enrolled in US institutions (as well as US citizens attending international institutions) by providing registration fees to the conference. Such participation will have a positive impact on both grid-centric research in US institutions and workforce development. It will contribute to the preparation of the next cadre of engineering professionals who can advance and ensure integration of computing, data, security, and analytics technology in the electric grid while keeping the focus on sustainability, reliability, and resilience.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.
