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

该奖项将支持来自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），沿着于2023年12月12日举行会前研讨会。50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，他们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将展示贡献和邀请的论文，辅导会议，以及全体会议和半全体会议和研讨会。该会议汇集了学术和工业研究人员和学生，他们分享了他们的最新研究想法，并根据应用和技术的当前和预期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思路和应用。系统理论方法在影响日常生活的许多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在网络物理系统的设计，操作和安全中处于中心地位，它们可以告知研究人员操作大型网络的方法（例如，电力，通信，计算机，交通和健康相关的网络）。从这个奖项获得旅费的学生参加疾病预防控制中心将有很多机会与专业社区的成员在一个刺激的设置互动，并与专业的同事广泛的群体交换意见。会前举办的大量讲习班和许多专题介绍的互动形式将为培训、学习和获得在重大专业会议上介绍技术成果的经验提供更多机会。具体的外展工作将致力于宣传会议和学生旅游奖计划，以代表性不足的少数民族。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。

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.
