N2Women 2010 Student Travel Grants

这项CEISE特别项目奖资助学生参加首届网络女性(N^2女性)研讨会。研讨会将与第16届移动计算和网络国际年会(MobiCom 2010)和第11届ACM移动自组织网络和计算国际研讨会(MobiHoc 2010)同时举行。计划在会议的前一天举办N^2个妇女讲习班，使讲习班参与者能够形成可在会议期间加强的联系。N^2个妇女讲习班的目的是促进在通信和网络研究领域任职人数不足的妇女之间的联系。N^2女性研讨会将是一个为期一天的活动，为网络研究人员提供展示她们的工作并与其他人建立联系的机会。它将包括来自工业、政府和学术部门的参与者，并为学生提供一个了解新兴研究课题并与网络社区中的其他人建立联系的绝佳机会。该项目的学术价值在于学生参与者将为N^2妇女研讨会和两个相关会议做出贡献，以及对学生研究未来科学进步的影响。接触基于研究的技术内容将激励学生解决各自领域的难题，并有可能从网络研究的科学进步中获得长期利益。该项目的更广泛影响围绕着能够通过旅行支持参与协调活动的未被充分代表的研究生的发展。这笔资金将允许学生参加高水平的技术演示，接触最先进的研究，并与领先的研究人员和其他研究生互动。

This CISE Special Projects award funds student support to participate in the first Networking Networking Women (N^2Women) Workshop. The workshop will be co-located with the 16th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (MobiCom 2010) and the 11th ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (MobiHoc 2010. The N^2 Women workshop is scheduled to occur the day before the conferences allowing workshop participants to form connections that can be strengthened during the conferences. The purpose of the N^2 Women Workshop is to foster connections among the under-represented women in the communications and networking research fields. The N^2 Women workshop will be a one day event to provide networking researchers the opportunity to showcase their work and make connections with others. It will include participants from the industrial, governmental, and academic sectors and offer students an excellent opportunity to learn about emerging research topics and to get connected with others in the networking community. The intellectual merit of the project resides in the contributions that the student participants will make to the N^2Women Workshop and the two associated conferences as well as the impact on the future scientific progress of the students' research. The exposure to the research-based technical content will inspire students to address the tough problems in their respective fields, with a potential for a long-term benefit of scientific progress for networking research.The broader impacts of the project revolve around the development of the under-represented graduate students who are able to participate in the coordinated events through this travel support. The funds will allow the students to attend high-caliber technical presentations, be exposed to state-of-the-art research, and interact with leading researchers and fellow graduate students.
