Travel Support for the 2022 American Control Conference; Atlanta, Georgia; June 8-10, 2022

这项资助将为大约30名来自控制科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体的学生——女性、少数民族、残疾人、退伍军人、第一代学生和非R1机构的学生——提供机会，让他们亲自参加2022年美国控制会议，在那里他们将参加讲座，展示他们的研究，并与该领域的其他学生、教师和专业人士建立联系。美国控制会议是国际公认的首屈一指的科学和工程会议，致力于控制理论和实践的进步。会议的技术计划将包括常规会议和邀请会议、辅导课、海报会议、特别会议以及研讨会和展览。与会者将有机会讨论该领域的最新趋势和最新科学发现，参加以教育和培训为基础的会议，并发展和扩大他们的科学和专业网络。本次会议考虑的自动控制应用包括能源系统和智能电网、制造网络、金融和风险管理、自动驾驶汽车、系统生物学、网络物理系统的安全性和弹性等领域的前沿挑战，所有这些研究领域都与美国国家科学基金会的使命相关。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 grant will provide opportunity for around 30 students from groups underrepresented in control science and engineering -- women, minorities, persons with disabilities, veterans, first-generation students, and students from non R1 institutions -- to participate in person in the 2022 American Control Conference where they will attend lectures, present their research, and network with other students, faculty, and professionals in the field. The American Control Conference is internationally recognized as a premier scientific and engineering conference, dedicated to the advancement of control theory and practice.The technical program for the conference will comprise presentations in regular and invited sessions, tutorial sessions, poster sessions, and special sessions along with workshops and exhibits. Attendees will have opportunities to discuss the latest trends and newest scientific findings in the field, attend educational and training-based sessions, and develop and expand their scientific and professional networks. Applications of automatic control considered in this conference include cutting-edge challenges in energy systems and smart grids, manufacturing networks, finance and risk management, autonomous vehicles, systems biology, and security and resilience of cyber-physical systems, all areas of research relevant to the mission of the National Science Foundation.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.
