Student Travel Support for the 2010 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control. To be Held in Atlanta, Georgia, December 15-17, 2010

该提案要求支持学生前往参加将于2010年12月15日至17日在格鲁吉亚亚特兰大举行的第49届IEEE决策与控制会议（CDC）。IEEECDC是IEEE控制系统协会的年度旗舰会议，也是控制理论和应用领域的主要国际会议之一。该基金将为来自美国大学的20名学生提供部分支持，以参加会议并展示他们的研究成果。智力优势：控制理论在现代复杂的技术系统中无处不在，从汽车到航空航天系统，生物医学系统，工业自动化系统，机器人技术和许多其他系统。越来越明显的是，目前对许多技术前沿的研究深受控制和系统理论的基础思想的影响。第49届IEEE CDC收到了超过2100份提交，并接受了约1100份提交，其中许多是由学生与他们的教师顾问共同撰写的。建议使用资金的智力价值是研究生将看到控制和系统的基础是如何发展和塑造在许多应用领域的研究前沿。更广泛的影响：超过1100个研究演示，包括几个全体会议讲座，研讨会和展览，CDC为与会者提供接触控制研究和技术的新兴领域的最先进的。这种旅行支持的更广泛影响是，它将有助于培训下一代控制研究人员和从业人员。美国未来的安全和福祉取决于在控制技术等关键领域保持训练有素的科学家和工程师人才库。在拟议的项目下支持的学生代表IEEE控制系统协会的未来技术领导者，这是世界？的领先的专业组织的纪律。

The proposal requests support for student travel to the 49th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), which will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, December 15-17, 2010. The IEEECDC is the annual flagship conference of the IEEE Control Systems Society and one of the premier international conferences in the field of control theory and applications. The funds will provide partial support for up to twenty students from US colleges and universities to attend the conference and present their research results.INTELLECTUAL MERIT: Control theory is ubiquitous in modern, complex, technological systems, from automotive to aerospace systems, biomedical systems, industrial automation systems, robotics, and a host of other systems. It is increasingly evident that current research on many technological frontiers is heavily influenced by foundational ideas from control and system theory. The 49th IEEE CDC received over 2100 submissions and accepted around 1100 for presentation, many of which are co-authored by students together with their faculty advisers. The intellectual merit of the proposed use of funds is that graduate students will see how the foundations of control and systems are evolving and shaping the frontiers of research in many applications domains.BROADER IMPACT: With over 1100 research presentations, including several plenary lectures, workshops and exhibits the CDC provides attendees with exposure to the state-of-the-art in emerging areas of control research and technology. The broader impact of this travel support is that it will help train the next generation of control researchers and practitioners. The future security and well-being of the United States relies on maintaining pools of trained scientists and engineers in critical areas such as control technology. The students to be supported under the proposed project represent the future technological leaders of the IEEE Control Systems Society, which is the world?s leading professional organization in the discipline.
