CIF: NSF Student Travel Grant for 2019 IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC 2019)

该奖项为来自美国机构的最多10名学生提供差旅支持，参加2019年7月2日至5日在法国戛纳举行的2019年IEEE无线通信信号处理进展国际研讨会(SPAWC)。SPAWC是IEEE信号处理学会的旗舰年度会议之一，将于2019年庆祝其成立20周年。SPAWC致力于传播无线通信、网络和信息理论的信号处理方面的进展。研讨会的组织委员会和技术计划委员会每年都会发生变化，由来自世界各地的著名科学家组成，他们在通信、信号处理和信息理论的交叉领域工作。SPAWC通过将主旨演讲与海报演示混合在一起，提供了一种独特的传播思想的形式，使参与比许多其他会议更具互动性。这是一个规模较小的会议(通常每年有150-250人参加)，但非常集中，与会者之间可以进行更深层次的互动。提交给SPAWC的论文经过同行评审，被接受的论文以会议记录卷的形式出版，并以数字形式保存在IEEE Xplore上。学生活动包括最佳学生论文比赛，与主旨演讲者的午餐会，以及为代表不足的群体提供指导机会。获得该旅行奖项支持的学生将有充分的机会与他们的同行、导师和该领域的知名研究人员建立联系，并将在研讨会结束时就这一活动的结果提供证明。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides travel support for up to ten students from US institutions to participate in 2019 IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances for Wireless Communications (SPAWC), which will take place in Cannes, France, July 2-5, 2019. SPAWC is one of the flagship annual conferences of the IEEE Signal Processing Society and will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2019. SPAWC is devoted to dissemination of advances in signal processing for wireless communications, networking, and information theory. The workshop's Organizing Committee and Technical Program Committee, which change from year to year, comprise eminent scientists from around the world working at the intersection of communications, signal processing and information theory. SPAWC offers a unique format for dissemination of ideas by mixing keynotes with poster presentations, making participation more interactive than many other conferences. It is a small (usually 150-250 participants every year) but very focused conference, which affords deeper interactions among the participants. Papers submitted to SPAWC are peer-reviewed and accepted papers are published as a proceedings volume and digitally archived on IEEE Xplore.Student activities include a best student paper contest, luncheons with keynote speakers, and mentoring opportunities for underrepresented groups. The students supported on this travel award will have ample opportunities to network with their peers, mentors, and eminent researchers in this field, and will provide testimonials on the outcomes of this activity at the end of the workshop.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.
