To encourage more US-based participation in geo-spatial research, this support will enable 20 promising graduate and undergraduate students in computer science the necessary financial support to attend one of the field's premier forums, the International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Databases (SSTD), to be held this year in Minneapolis August 24-26. The biennial event showcases cutting-edge research spanning a vast array of topics and attracts researchers, developers, and end users around the world from academia, industry, and government. The engagement and subsequent education of the next generation of scientists and engineers working with spatial and temporal data will have a significant impact on the lives of ordinary people everywhere. In addition to improvements in vehicular and various forms of public transportation, security mechanisms featuring unprecedented sophistication will be made possible by enhanced intelligence gathering via spatial analysis of satellite imagery, and macroscopic ecological health will be more accurately modeled with more informative uses of spatio-temporal data. Promoting this conference participation by U.S. based graduate and undergraduate students is important for helping the United States to maintain a major foothold in the exciting products, services and ideas to come out of the field of spatial and temporal data.

为了鼓励更多以美国为基础的地理空间研究，这种支持将使20名有前途的毕业生和本科生在计算机科学领域提供必要的财务支持，以参加该领域的一项首要论坛之一，即国际空间和时间数据库（SSTD），将于今年在Minneapolis 8月24日至26日举行。两年一次的活动展示了跨越大量主题的尖端研究，并吸引了来自学术界，工业和政府全球的研究人员，开发人员和最终用户。 下一代科学家和工程师的参与和随后的教育将对各地的普通百姓的生活产生重大影响。除了改善车辆和各种形式的公共交通工具外，通过卫星图像的空间分析增强的智能收集将使具有前所未有的复杂性的安全机制成为可能，宏观生态健康将通过更准确的建模，以更加信息的空间数据使用。促进基于美国的毕业生和本科生的会议参与对于帮助美国保持令人兴奋的产品，服务和想法的重要立足点至关重要。
