Education and Workforce: Student Travel Awards for DCOSS 2005; June 30 - July 1, 2005; Marina del Rey, CA

DCOSS(传感器系统上的分布式计算)将于2005年6月30日至7月1日在加利福尼亚州的玛丽娜德尔雷举行。会议将为研究人员和实践者提供一个论坛，介绍他们对分布式传感器系统上述高层方面的贡献。智力价值会议的重点是大规模网络传感器系统中的分布式计算问题(包括系统设计技术和工具、算法和应用)，但也欢迎与支持高层抽象的网络相关的贡献。除了提交的论文外，会议还将包括主要研究人员的主题演讲、小组讨论和海报/演示会议。参加DCOSS 2005这样的会议是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分。会议提供了一个与更多资深研究人员和其他研究生互动的机会，并有机会接触到该领域的前沿工作。所要求的支持将使研究生能够参加这一新兴的网络传感器系统领域的重要会议，否则他们将无法参加DCOSS 2005。

DCOSS (Distributed Computing on Sensor Systems) 2005 will take place in Marina del Rey, California during June 30 - July 1, 2005. The conference will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their contributions related to the above high-level aspects of distributed sensor systems.Intellectual MeritThe focus of the conference is on distributed computing issues in large-scale networkedsensor systems (including systematic design techniques and tools, algorithms, andapplications), but networking-related contributions that support high level abstractionsare also welcome. In addition to contributed papers, the meeting will also include keynoteaddresses by leading researchers, a panel discussion, and a poster/presentation session.Broader ImpactParticipation in conferences such as DCOSS 2005 is an extremelyimportant part of the graduate school experience. The conference provides an opportunityto interact with more senior researchers, other graduate students and be exposed toleading edge work in the field. The support requested will enable graduate students toattend this important conference in the emerging area of networked sensor systems whowould otherwise be unable to attend DCOSS 2005.
