ISCAS 2022 Student Participation Grant

这项提案要求资助一些在美国的学生参加2022年版的IEEE电路和系统国际研讨会(ISCAS)，目的是让他们接触到这一学科，并鼓励他们在电路和系统研究领域的新问题上追求职业生涯。参加这次研讨会被认为是计算机工程专业学生研究生院经历的重要组成部分，提供了与资深研究人员互动和接触该领域前沿工作的机会。这种支持将使科学知识能够传播给原本没有这种经历的学生。这种学生旅行支持也将促进有前途的研究生的发展，因此也将间接地帮助培训未来在计算机工程重要领域的劳动力。50多年来，国际电路和系统研讨会(ISCAS)一直是探索电路和系统研究的新趋势和新概念的主要会议。2022年版的年度会议将在5年后回到德克萨斯州奥斯汀的美国土地上。2022年版的会议将讨论该领域的主要趋势和挑战，包括主旨和全体会议、技术论文会议、教程、小组讨论和特别会议。会议委员会已经建立了适当的评估标准，从通过公开广告形成的申请者池中挑选合格的学生。虽然申请的资金将主要用于支持研究生，但委员会也可能考虑一小部分本科生申请者，以便更好地接触到该领域的不同潜在研究人员。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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 proposal requests funding to support a number of US-based students for attending the 2022 version of the annual 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 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 more than 50 years has been the premier conference where emerging trends and novel concepts of Circuits and Systems research have been explored. The 2022 version of this annual conference will return to the US soil in Austin, TX after 5 years. The 2022 edition of this conference will address key trends and challenges in the area and includes Keynote and Plenary Talks, Technical Paper Sessions, Tutorials, Panels, Special Sessions. The conference committee has set up adequate evaluation criteria to select qualified students from a pool of applicants formed via open advertisement. While the requested funds will primarily be used 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.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.
