NSF Student Travel Grant for 2018 ACM Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (ACM MobiCom)

第24届移动的计算和网络国际年会（ACM Computing and Networking）将于2018年10月29日至11月2日在印度新德里举行。CIMCOM致力于解决移动的计算和网络的挑战，并已成为涵盖支持移动的计算机和无线网络融合的网络、系统、算法和应用的领先会议之一。CIMCOM吸引了世界领先的研究人员和从业人员参加并展示他们的工作，并参加小组讨论和主题演讲。除了常规会议计划外，2018年将包括一系列研讨会，小组讨论，研究演示和海报会议，其中包括ACM学生研究竞赛（SRC）。今年，美国国家科学基金会计划再次举办移动的应用程序竞赛和学生就业博览会。美国国家科学基金会的旅费赠款将有助于增加美国研究生和本科生在这次会议上的代表性和参与度，并使参与学生能够分享信息和初步研究成果。参加ACM等顶级会议是研究生院体验的一个非常重要的部分，为学生提供了与更高级研究人员互动的机会，并使他们接触到该领域的前沿研究。该奖项将使研究生能够参加2018年的主要研讨会和相关研讨会。旅行奖将针对第一次参加会议和代表性不足的少数民族学生，因为参加会议是他们教育经历的重要组成部分，他们通常只有有限的旅行资金。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 24th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, ACM MobiCom 2018, will be held between October 29 and November 2, 2018, in New Delhi, India. MobiCom is dedicated to addressing the challenges of mobile computing and networking, and has emerged as one of the leading conferences covering networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support the convergence of mobile computers and wireless networks. MobiCom attracts world-leading researchers and practitioners to attend and present their work and attend panels and keynote sessions. In addition to the regular conference program, MobiCom 2018 will include a set of workshops, panels, research demonstrations, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition (SRC). This year again, MobiCom plans to feature both a mobile app competition and a student career fair.The NSF travel grant will help increase representation and participation of United States-based graduate and undergraduate students at this conference, and enable sharing of information and preliminary research results among participating students. Participation of top conferences like ACM MobiCom is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, providing students with an opportunity to interact with more senior researchers, and exposing them to leading edge research in the field. The award will enable graduate students to attend the main MobiCom 2018 and the associated workshops. The travel awards will target first-time attendees and under-represented minority students, since attending conferences is an important part of their educational experience, and they often have limited travel funds.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
