Travel Support for Students Attending the 2009 ACM Symposium on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems

该项目为参加2009年ACM嵌入式网络传感器系统（SenSys）会议的学生提供旅行奖励。SenSys是一个高度选择性的单轨会议，专注于涉及无线传感器网络系统的技术前沿。2009年版的会议将于2009年11月4日至6日在加州伯克利举行。因此，传感器网络领域汇集了来自各种领域的研究人员-计算学科，如操作系统，编程语言，体系结构;工程和科学学科是传感器网络的“真实的最终用户”。这个项目的智力价值源于访问这个丰富的跨学科的主题和研究人员走到一起，在SenSys这些旅行奖的收件人。除了常规的高质量演示技术计划外，SenSys还提供来自学术界和工业界的大量技术演示和海报。通过降低参加会议的学生的财务门槛，该项目通过增加未来传感器网络专业人员的数量和多样性产生了广泛的影响，这些专业人员已经做好了充分的准备，并与最新的研究和技术保持联系。学生旅行奖励的审查过程特别认识到各种多样化因素，包括学校规模，研究成熟度和性别。

This project supports travel awards for students attending the 2009 ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys). SenSys is a highly-selective, single-track conference focused on the cutting edge in technologies that involve wireless sensor network systems. The 2009 edition of the conference is being held in Berkeley, CA on November 4-6, 2009. As such, the field of sensor networks brings together researchers from a wide variety of fields -- computing disciplines such as operating systems, programming languages, architecture; engineering and science disciplines that are the 'real end users' of sensor networks. The intellectual merit of this project stems from the access to this rich cross-section of topics and researchers that come together at SenSys to the recipients of these travel awards. In addition to the regular technical program comprising of high quality presentations, SenSys also features a large number of technical demonstrations and posters, both from academia and industry. By lowering the financial bar for students attending the conference, this project has a broad impact by increasing the number and diversity of future sensor network professionals who are well-prepared and are in touch with the latest research and technology. The review process for student travel awards is particularly cognizant of various diversification factors including size of school, research maturity and gender.
