Travel Support for MASS 2009 Conference

2009年IEEE第六届移动自组织和传感器系统国际会议（MASS-2009）将于2009年10月5日至8日在中国澳门特别行政区举行。MASS是一个高质量的年会；它为展示自组织和传感器网络的新研究成果提供了一个场所。会议促进了研究人员和实践者之间的思想交流。除了技术论文展示外，会议还将有主题演讲、小组讨论和研讨会。参与MASS-2009将是美国研究生的重要经历；约10名美国研究生（包括女性和少数民族学生）将利用所提供的支持参加本次会议。这不仅将为他们提供一个与同行和杰出的研究人员互动的机会，而且还将使他们接触到计算机通信和网络领域的前沿研究。这样的经历将有助于他们的教育，职业和专业发展。

The 2009 IEEE Sixth International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS-2009) to be held at Macau SAR (Hongkong), PRC October 5- 8, 2009. MASS is a good quality annual meeting; it provides a venue for presenting new research results on ad-hoc and sensor networks. The conference fosters exchange of ideas among researchers and practitioners. In addition to technical paper presentation, the conference will also have keynote talks, panels, and workshops.Participation in MASS-2009 will be an important experience for US based graduate students; about 10 US based graduate students (including female and minority students) will participate in this conference using the provided support. It will not only provide them an opportunity to interact with peers and distinguished researchers, but also expose them to cutting edge research in the field of computer communications and networks. Such experience will be helpful to their education, career and professional growth.
