Need-Based Sponsorship of Student Travel for the IPSN 2008 Conference

2008传感器网络信息处理（IPSN）会议的学生旅行基于需求的赞助传感器网络信息处理（IPSN）会议是由IEEE信号处理学会和ACM共同主办的年度活动。IPSN召集了传感器网络领域的顶尖研究人员。这包括新的网络架构、软件系统、编码、数据处理、数据存储和管理、信息和通信理论、分布式算法和推理、编程模型和语言等主题。此外，IPSN 2008引入了一种新的形式，在这个单轨会议中包含两个重点领域。这包括信息处理（IP）和传感器平台、工具和设计方法（spot）领域。IPSN传统上包括该社区研究的先锋，包括网络技术和系统（net）计划的亮点。2008年会议的另一个重要特点是，它将与新的网络物理系统周系列会议（包括IEEE实时和嵌入式技术与应用研讨会（RTAS）和混合系统：计算与控制国际会议（HSCC'08））同时举行。这个NSF项目的目的是赞助学生到IPSN学习。这将促进包括那些将在IPSN接受指导和指导的学生的广泛影响，否则他们将无法参加。学生将通过包括学生申请和教师推荐的申请过程来选择。

Need-Based Sponsorship Of Student Travelto the2008 Information Processing In Sensor Networks (IPSN) ConferenceThe Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) conference is an annual event co-sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society and the ACM. IPSN convenes the leading researchers in the field of sensor networks. This includes the topics of novel network architectures, software systems, coding, data processing, data storage and management, information and communication theory, distributed algorithms and reasoning, programming models and languages, and other topics. Also, IPSN 2008 introduces a new format with two focus areas to be included in this single-track conference. This includes the information processing (IP) and the Sensor Platforms, Tools, and Design Methods (SPOTS) areas. IPSN has traditionally included the vanguard of research in this community including the highlights in the Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) program. Another important feature for the 2008 conference is that this will be co-located with the new Cyber-Physical Systems Week conference series including the IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS) and the International Conference on Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control (HSCC'08). This NSF program is directed to sponsorship of student travel to IPSN. This will promote the broad impact of including students who will receive guidance and mentorship at IPSN and would not otherwise be able to attend. Students will be selected by an application processing that includes both student application and faculty recommendations.
