Student Travel Support Program for 2023 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC-23)

该奖项将支持美国高等院校的学生参加将于2023年12月13日至15日在新加坡举行的第62届IEEE决策与控制会议（CDC），以及将于2023年12月12日举行的会前研讨会。五十多年来，CDC一直是世界领先的科学和工程研究人员的年度论坛，这些研究人员对系统和控制理论以及自动化技术的基础感兴趣。与过去一样，第62届IEEE CDC将以发表论文和邀请论文、指导会议、全体会议和半全体会议以及研讨会为特色。会议汇集了学术和工业研究人员和学生，他们分享了他们最新的研究想法，并根据当前和预期的应用和技术发展讨论了该领域进一步发展的需求。年度CDC涵盖的主题范围非常广泛，反映了控制和系统理论的各种研究线索和应用。系统理论方法在许多影响日常生活的当代基础设施和技术的发展中发挥了关键作用。例如，今天，系统和控制理论工具是网络物理系统的设计、操作和安全的核心，它们可以告诉研究人员如何操作大型网络（例如，电力、通信、计算机、交通和健康相关网络）。获得该奖项旅费的学生将有很多机会在令人兴奋的环境中与专业社区成员互动，并与广泛的专业同事交流思想。会议前的大量讲习班和许多介绍的互动式形式将提供更多的培训、学习和获得在重大专业会议上介绍技术成果的经验的机会。具体的外展工作将致力于向代表性不足的少数民族宣传会议和学生旅行奖励计划。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 award will support students from institutions of higher learning in the United States to participate to the 62nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), to be held in Singapore, December 13-15, 2023, along with pre-conference workshops to be held on December 12, 2023. The CDC has been for over fifty years the world’s leading annual forum for scientific and engineering researchers who share an interest in systems and control theory, and in the foundations of automation technology. As in the past, the 62nd IEEE CDC will feature the presentation of contributed and invited papers, tutorial sessions, as well as plenary and semi-plenary sessions and workshops. The conference brings together academic and industrial researchers and students who share their latest research ideas and discuss needs for further development of the field in light of current and anticipated developments in applications and technology. The range of topics covered at the annual CDC is extremely broad, mirroring the varied research threads and applications of control and systems theory. The system-theoretic approach has played a critical role in the development of many contemporary infrastructures and technologies affecting everyday life. Today, for example, system and control-theoretic tools are central in the design, operation, and security of cyber-physical systems, where they can inform researchers about ways to operate large networks (e.g., power, communications, computer, transportation, and health-related networks).Students receiving travel funds from this award to attend the CDC will have many opportunities to interact with members of the professional community in a stimulating setting, and to exchange ideas with a broad group of professional colleagues. The large number of workshops before the conference and the interactive format of many of the presentations will allow additional opportunities for training, learning and for gaining experience in presenting technical results at a major professional conference. Specific outreach efforts will be devoted to advertising the conference and the student travel award program to under-represented minorities.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.
