NeTS: IEEE PerCom 2008 Student Travel Support

IEEE PerCom是一个高质量的会议和主要的技术论坛，致力于解决普及计算和感知网络(包括无线、移动、网格和传感器网络、中间件、普及服务和应用)方面的关键挑战。今年，针对CFP提交的论文数量已超过200篇；只有18篇常规论文和12篇短论文被技术计划委员会接受在会议上提交。会议记录将由IEEE计算机出版社出版。像过去一样，精选的(扩展的)论文将被邀请发表在Elsevier的普及和移动计算(PMC)杂志的特刊上。参与诸如IEEE PerCom之类的会议是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分，提供了与同行和更资深的研究人员互动的机会，从而有机会接触到普及计算和感知网络、系统集成、感知服务和应用领域的前沿工作。旅行支持将使美国的研究生能够参加这个重要的IEEE会议，并在会上展示他们的研究成果。由于大多数NSF奖项的旅行资助仅限于学生(作者)，这一基金将使获奖者不会挪用研究资金用于旅行。

IEEE PerCom is a high quality conference and the premier technical forum dedicated to addressing the key challenges in Pervasive computing and aware networking including wireless, mobile, mesh and sensor networks, middleware, pervasive services and applications. This year the number of submissions in response to the CFP has been over 200; only 18 regular papers and 12 short papers have been accepted by the Technical Program Committee for presentation at the conference. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Press. As in the past, selected (extended) papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of the Elsevier's Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC) journal.Participation in conferences such as IEEE PerCom is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, providing the opportunity to interact with peers and more senior researchers, thus having the opportunity to be exposed to leading edge work in the field of pervasive computing and aware networking, systems integration, aware services and applications. The travel support will enable US-based graduate students to attend and present their research results in this important IEEE conference. Since the travel support in most of the NSF awards is quite limited to students (who are authors), this fund will enable the awardees not to divert research funding for travel.
