NSF Student Travel Grant for 2017 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS)

该提案要求资助一些美国学生参加第35届IEEE电路与系统国际研讨会（ISCAS），目的是让他们接触该学科，并鼓励他们在电路与系统研究领域的新兴问题上从事职业。参加这次研讨会被认为是学生在计算机工程领域的研究生院经验的重要组成部分，提供了与高级研究人员互动的机会，并接触到该领域的前沿工作。这种支持将使科学知识能够传播给没有经验的学生。这种学生旅行支持也将促进有前途的研究生的发展，因此也将间接帮助培训未来的劳动力在计算机工程的重要领域。妇女和代表性不足的群体将得到适当考虑，以便通过这一赠款获得支助。国际电路与系统研讨会（ISCAS）在过去的49年里一直是首屈一指的会议，在那里电路与系统研究的新兴趋势和新概念进行了探讨。第50届会议将讨论该领域的主要趋势和挑战，包括主题演讲和全体会议，技术论文会议，演讲会，小组会议，特别会议。会议委员会已经建立了一个适当的评估标准，以选择合格的学生从一个池的申请人通过公开广告形成。虽然申请的资金主要用于支持研究生，但委员会也可能考虑少数本科生申请人，以便更好地接触该领域的潜在研究人员。

This proposal requests funding to a number of US-based students for attending the 35-th IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) with the intention of exposing them to the discipline and to encourage them to pursue careers in emerging issues in the area of Circuits and Systems research. Participation in this symposium is considered an important part of the graduate school experience of students in the field of computer engineering, providing the opportunity to interact with senior researchers and to be exposed to leading edge work in the field. The support will enable dissemination of scientific knowledge to students who would otherwise not have the experience. This student travel support will also facilitate the development of promising graduate students, and will thus indirectly also help train the workforce of the future in the important area of computer engineering. Women and underrepresented groups will be given due consideration for receiving support through this grant. The International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) for the past 49 years has been the premier conference, where emerging trends and novel concepts of Circuits and Systems research have been explored. The 50-th edition of this conference will addresses key trends and challenges in the area that includes Keynote and Plenary Talks, Technical Paper Sessions, Tutorials, Panels, Special Sessions. The conference committee has set up an adequate evaluation criteria to select the qualified students from a pool of applicants formed via open advertisement. While the requested funds will primarily be sued for supporting graduate students, the committee may also consider a small number of undergraduate applicants in order to better reach a diverse population of potential researchers in this field.
