NSF Student Travel Grant for 2022 ACM International Conference on Underwater Networks and Systems (WUWNet’22)

该奖项支持15名学生参加2022年ACM国际水下网络系统会议（WUWNet）会议。WUWNet会议已成为水下无线网络领域的主要技术场所之一，并为来自学术界和工业界的研究人员以及水下通信和网络系统各个领域的从业者提供了一个会议点。WUWNet的目标是将水下系统工程不同领域的学术界和工业界的主要贡献者聚集在一起，以连接“蓝色经济”。会议定期吸引世界领先的研究人员和实践者参加并展示他们的工作，并参加小组讨论和主题会议。WUWNet ' 22的重点有三个方面：(i)建立蓝色经济网络；系统研究、实验、实际评价；（iii）跨学科无线研究。会议将举行特别全体会议，讨论这些广泛类别下的论文，以及其他常规会议，讨论蓝色科技领域的许多其他令人兴奋的发展。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。

This award supported the travel of 15 students to the 2022 Association for the ACM International Conference on Underwater Networks Systems (WUWNet) conference. The WUWNet conference has established itself as one of the premier technical venues in the field of underwater wireless networks and serves as a meeting point for researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners in diverse fields of underwater communications and networking systems. The goal of WUWNet is to bring together leading contributors from academia and industry working in diverse areas of underwater systems engineering for connecting the “Blue Economies.” The conference regularly attracts world-leading researchers and practitioners to attend and present their work and attend panels and keynote sessions. The focus of WUWNet’22 is threefold: (i) Networking the Blue Economy; (ii) Systems Research, Experimentation, Hands-on Evaluations; (iii) Cross-disciplinary Wireless Research. The conference will have special plenary sessions for papers that fall under these broad categories, along with other regular sessions that encompass many other exciting developments in the Blue Tech domain.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.
