NSF Student Participation Grant for 2020 IEEE International Conference on Green and Sustainable Computing (IEEE IGSC)

本提案旨在支持参加2020年国际绿色与可持续计算会议（IGSC）。由于新冠肺炎疫情，今年的会议将以虚拟形式举行。没有旅行，但该奖项允许扩大参与。IGSC已成为这一领域的首要会议。绿色计算是一个新兴的研究领域，它是一个跨学科的研究领域，横跨计算机科学与工程、电子工程和其他工程学科。绿色计算或可持续计算是有效使用计算资源的研究和实践，这反过来可以影响一系列经济、生态和社会目标。这些做法包括采用节能的中央处理装置和外设，以及减少资源消耗。此外，IGSC还涵盖了使用计算和信息系统在电网、环境、气候、农业和许多其他社会和经济应用中实现可持续性的应用和系统。会议为研究人员、行业参与者和学生提供了一个论坛，以提高对有效使用计算资源的研究和实践的认识，这反过来又可以影响一系列经济、生态和社会目标。该基金鼓励对绿色或可持续建筑、网络、电路设计、软件和应用感兴趣的学生，以及对在其他领域使用可持续性计算感兴趣的学生，在他们选择的主题上找到有用的信息。它也为全国各地的许多学生提供了一个熟悉并从事具有国家重要性的新研究领域的绝佳机会。没有IGSC论文或没有参加IGSC的资源的学生将有资格获得这些资金。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 proposal is for support of participation in the 2020 International Green and Sustainable Computing Conference (IGSC). Due to the COVID pandemic, this year's conference is virtual. There will be no travel but the award allows for expanded participation. IGSC has established itself as the premier conference in this area. Green computing is a newly evolving research area that is establishing itself as an interdisciplinary research area spanning across the fields of computer science and engineering, electrical engineering and other engineering disciplines. Green computing or sustainable computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently, which in turn can impact a spectrum of economic, ecological, and social objectives. Such practices include the implementation of energy-efficient central processing units and peripherals as well as reduced resource consumption. In addition, IGSC covers applications and systems that use computing and information systems to accomplish sustainability in power grid, environment, climate, agriculture, and many other social and economic applications. The conference offers researchers, industry participants, and students the forum for a growing awareness of the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently, which in turn can impact a spectrum of economic, ecological, and social objectives.The grant encourages students interested in green or sustainable architecture, networks, circuit design, software, and applications, as well as students interested in use of computing for sustainability in other areas, to find useful information on the topics of their choice. It also provides an excellent opportunity for many students nationwide to get familiar with and engage in a new research area of national importance. Students not having a paper in IGSC or otherwise without the resources that allow the opportunity to attend IGSC will be eligible for these funds.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.
