2016 IEEE Mobile Data Management (MDM 2016) Conference: Student Activities Support; Porto, Portugal; June 13-16, 2016

该奖项支持在美国大学注册的20名研究生和本科生参加将于2016年6月13日至16日在葡萄牙波尔图举行的第17届IEEE移动数据管理国际会议（MDM 2016） （http://mdmconferences.org/mdm2016/）。MDM是由IEEE计算机协会共同主办的重要会议。它涵盖了流动性的各个方面。考虑到移动性的广泛范围，MDM将来自数据库、网络以及无处不在和普及计算的研究人员聚集在一起，展示和讨论这些关键国家需求领域的科学进展。这次会议依赖于社区资深成员的经验，但也旨在产生新的想法，促进新的合作，并使新人接触到新兴的研究机会。参加MDM对学生非常有益。会议为交流思想和未来合作提供了一个极好的论坛。学生也有机会与杰出的研究人员会面，并在他们的启发和指导下从事移动数据管理研究。计划举办一系列面向学生的活动：讲习班、演示、小组讨论、研讨会、博士论坛和一个特别的工业论坛。旅行支持的可用性将在美国研究界广为宣传。特别鼓励来自代表性不足群体（妇女、少数民族和残疾学生）的学生申请。该项目建立了选择获奖者的流程，这些获奖者将从参与MDM中受益，并为MDM计划做出贡献，特别是面向学生的活动。MDM会议论文集由IEEE出版。

This award supports participation of 20 graduate and undergraduate students enrolled at universities in the U.S. in the 17th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM 2016), which will be held June 13-16, 2016 in Porto, Portugal (http://mdmconferences.org/mdm2016/). MDM is a premier conference co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. It encompasses all aspects of mobility. Given the broad scope of mobility, MDM brings together researchers from databases, networking and ubiquitous and pervasive computing, to present and discuss the progress of science in these areas of critical national needs. The conference relies on the experience of senior members of the community, but also aims to generate fresh ideas, foster new collaborations, and expose new people to emerging research opportunities. Attendance at MDM is very beneficial to students. The conference makes for an excellent forum for exchange of ideas and future collaborations. Students also have opportunities to meet distinguished researchers and be inspired and mentored by them to follow careers in mobile data management research. A number of student-oriented events are planned: workshops, demos, panels, seminars, PhD forum, and a special industrial forum. The availability of the travel support will be well publicized throughout the U.S. research community. Students from underrepresented groups (women, minorities and disabled students) are especially encouraged to apply. The project has established processes for selecting the awardees that would both benefit from participating in MDM and contribute to the MDM program, especially the student-oriented activities. The MDM Conference Proceedings are published by IEEE.
