CIF: Student Travel Support for the 2019 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory

IEEE信息论国际研讨会（ISIT）是信息论领域的首要国际会议，信息论是研究可靠通信的数学基础的科学学科，无论是通过电话、电视、无线还是光学系统，以及数据存储的基本限制，如cd、dvd、闪存驱动器或其他半导体媒体。该系列研讨会自1954年开始举办，最初每两年举办一次，自2000年起每年举办一次。该项目资助美国学生参加此次活动。参加这次会议将提高学生的研究经验，并为新的合作提供更多的机会。学生是信息理论社区不可或缺的一部分，IEEE ISIT会议继续通过ISIT Jack Kiel Wolf最佳学生论文奖、ISIT教程系列的创建和信息理论学会学生委员会来促进学生的参与。学生约占ISIT参与者的三分之一，通过该奖项提供的旅行资金将支持在美国就读研究生或本科课程的学生出席2019年ISIT，其论文已被接受。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识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 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT) is the premier international conference in information theory, the scientific discipline that studies the mathematical foundations of reliable communications, whether by telephony, television, wireless or optical systems, and the fundamental limits of data storage, such as CDs, DVDs, flash drives, or other semiconductor media. The symposium series has run since 1954, originally every two years, and yearly since 2000. This project funds the participation of US-based students in this event. Participation at this conference will enhance the research experiences for students and provide increased opportunities for new collaborations.Students form an integral part of the Information Theory community, and the IEEE ISIT Conference continues to promote student participation through the ISIT Jack Kiel Wolf Best Student Paper Award, the creation of the ISIT tutorial series, and the Information Theory Society Student Committee. Students comprise about one-third of the participants at ISIT, and the travel funds offered through this award will support the attendance at the 2019 ISIT by students enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program in the United States and whose papers have been accepted for presentation.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.
