Student Travel Support for the 2005 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control

摘要本项目支持学生参加2005年12月10-14日在西班牙塞维利亚举行的第44届IEEE决策与控制会议。IEEE CDC是系统和自动控制研究领域首屈一指的年度国际会议。第44届疾病预防控制会议首次与欧洲控制会议（ECC）联合举行，预计参加人数将超过1500人。该项目的技术优点在于，它使美国研究生能够参加一个高质量的、经过严格同行评审的活动，许多世界系统和控制领域的领导者都参加了该活动。超过1400项研究报告，由知名研究人员进行的6次全体会议和半全体会议讲座，以及众多教程演讲，研讨会和展览，提供了最新的控制研究和技术领域。该项目更广泛的影响是，它将有助于培训下一代控制研究人员和实践者。现代社会越来越依赖于传感和控制技术，从电网的控制到互联网、汽车、飞机、炼油厂、发电厂和自动化制造系统。美国未来的安全和福祉依赖于在控制技术等关键领域保持一批训练有素的科学家和工程师。本项目资助的学生代表了IEEE控制系统协会的未来技术领导者，该协会是世界上首屈一指的系统和控制专业协会。

AbstractThis project supports student travel to the 44th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) in Seville, Spain, December 10-14, 2005. The IEEE CDC is the premier annual international conference on systems and automatic control research. The 44th CDC is being held jointly for the first time with the European Control Conference (ECC) with an expected level of participation over 1500. The technical merit of the project is that it enables US graduate students to participate in a high quality, rigorously peer-reviewed event attended by many of the world leaders in systems and control. Over 1400 reseach presentations, six plenary and semi-plenary lectures by renowned researchers, as well as numerous tutorial presentations, workshops and exhibits provide exposure to state-of-the-art in emerging areas of control research and technology.The broader impact of the project is that it will help train the next generation of control researchers and practitioners. Modern society is increasingly reliant on sensing and control technology, from control of the power grid, to the Internet, automobiles, aircraft, refineries, power plants, and automated manufacturing systems. The future security and well-being of the United States relies on maintaining a pools of trained scientists and engineers in critical areas such as control technology. The students supported under the present project represent the future technological leaders of the IEEE Control Systems Society, which is the world's premier professional society in systems and control.
