Graduate Student Travel Support for APSIPA ASC 2018. To Be Held in Honolulu, Hawaii Convention Center, November 12-15, 2018.

亚太信号和信息处理协会（APSIPA）成立于2009年，旨在促进信号处理，信息技术和通信各个方面的研究和教育。它是研究人员和从业人员交流思想的论坛，并就与信号和信息处理的一般领域的理论基础和进展，算法，实现和应用相关的技术问题进行合作。在过去的十年里，其年度峰会和会议（APSIPA-ASC）一直是促进合作的肥沃土壤。第10届APSIPA-ASC将于2018年11月12日至15日在夏威夷檀香山的夏威夷会议中心举行。预计约有450至500名与会者参加这次会议。为了支持下一代信号和信息处理科学家和工程师的培训，NSF将为20名研究生提供旅行支持，以在会议上展示他们的研究论文，并了解信号和信息处理的前沿研究和开发。旅行赠款将通过竞争授予来自美国大学的研究生，他们将在会议上提交他们接受的论文。获奖者将由会议委员会选出，论文质量将在评选过程中考虑。建议的旅行支持将对参与学生的职业发展和信号与信息处理领域的进步产生长期和广泛的影响。该奖项反映了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 Asia Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association (APSIPA) was founded in 2009 to promote research and education in all aspects of signal processing, information technology, and communications. It is a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange their ideas and collaborate on technical issues relevant to theoretical foundations and advances, algorithms, implementations, and applications in the general areas of signal and information processing. Over the past ten years, its annual summit and conference (APSIPA-ASC) has been a fertile ground to foster collaborations. The 10th APSIPA-ASC will be held at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, November 12-15, 2018. About 450 to 500 attendees are expected to attend this conference. To support the training of the next-generation scientists and engineers working on signal and information processing, this NSF grant will provide travel support for 20 graduate students to present their research papers at the conference and learn the cutting-edge research and development in signal and information processing. The travel grants will be awarded competitively to graduate students from US universities who will be presenting their accepted papers at the conference. The awardees will be selected by a committee of the conference and the paper quality will be considered in the selection process. The proposed travel support will have long-term and broad impacts on the participating students' career developments and the advancements in the field of signal and information processing.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.
