NSF Student Travel Grant for 2016 14th ACM International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications and Services (Mobisys)

ACM MobiSys是ACM SIGMOBILE赞助的一系列年度会议的一部分。它解决了移动和可穿戴系统和应用领域的挑战。除了常规的会议计划外，MobiSys 2016还将包括一系列技术研讨会、研究演示和海报会议，以及以亚洲研究生和女性研究人员为重点的特别研讨会和研讨会。该提案要求提供资金，支持美国研究生参加将于2015年6月26日至30日在新加坡举行的ACM MobiSys 2016。旅行津贴将使优秀学生能够利用这次聚会，并与移动系统领域的顶尖研究人员互动。通过参加会议，学生们将能够在与该领域的专家和他们的同龄人讨论时确定和/或提高他们的职业目标。在挑选获奖者时，奖项遴选委员会将通过有针对性地向这些群体做广告和通过特别奖励，强调代表人数不足的群体(妇女和少数群体)的参与。尤其是女性，也将受益于参加MobiSys正在计划的N2W(女性网络)活动。此外，学生们还将受益于接触到专门为亚洲情景和问题量身定做的研究和技术，特别强调智能城市(因为新加坡是世界上第一个提出“智能国家”愿景的国家，并且在这一方向上有重大的倡议、试验台和投资)。

ACM MobiSys is part of a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE. It addresses the challenges in the areas of mobile & wearable systems and applications. In addition to the regular conference program, MobiSys 2016 will include a set of technical workshops, research demonstrations, and a poster session, as well as special symposium and workshops focused on Asian graduate students and women researchers. This proposal requests funds to support US-based graduate students to attend ACM MOBISYS 2016 to be held in Singapore, on June 26-30, 2015. The travel grant will enable meritorious students to take advantage of this gathering and interact with the top researchers in the field of mobile systems. Through conference participation, students will be able to identify and/or sharpen their career goals during discussions with experts in the field and also with their peers. While selecting award recipients, the award selection committee will emphasize on participation of under-represented groups (women and minorities) through targeted advertising to such groups and through special incentives. Women, in particular, will also benefit from attending the N2W (Networking for Women's) event being planned at MobiSys. Additionally, students will also benefit from being exposed to research and technologies specifically tailored for Asian scenarios and problems, with special emphasis on smart cities (as Singapore is the world's first country to lay out a vision of a 'Smart Nation', and has significant initiatives, testbeds and investments in this direction).
