IEEE SECON is a premier research conference on wireless networking that has been the venue for presenting the latest research on sensor networks and the Internet of Things. It is one of the top four conferences in this space, the others being ACM Mobicom, ACM Sensys, and IEEE Infocom. The current conference scope is to focus on sensors, sensor networks and their applications, with its large and varied application domains. SECON 2014 will be held in Singapore in July 2014. By supporting 15 graduate students to attend SECON 2014, this proposal will increase the dissemination of the conference research results to a larger and a more diverse audience, which otherwise would not have been able to attend. In so doing, this proposal will contribute to the strength and inclusiveness of the research community, and will lead to the long-term health and vitality of SECON. By giving preference in grant awards to women and under-represented students, the organizers hope to increase the participation among these groups. By advertising to a wide range of colleges and universities, participants from a more diverse set of institutions should be able to attend and benefit from the conference. A broad and diverse population is vital to the health of the research community.

IEEE SECON 是无线网络领域的顶级研究会议，是展示传感器网络和物联网最新研究成果的场所。它是该领域四大顶级会议之一，其他三个分别是 ACM Mobicom、ACM Sensys 和 IEEE Infocom。本届会议范围主要集中在传感器、传感器网络及其应用，其应用领域广泛且多样。 SECON 2014 将于 2014 年 7 月在新加坡举行。通过支持 15 名研究生参加 SECON 2014，该提案将增加会议研究成果向更多、更多样化的受众的传播，否则这些受众将无法参加。这样做，该提案将有助于增强研究界的力量和包容性，并将导致 SECON 的长期健康和活力。通过优先向女性和代表性不足的学生提供助学金，组织者希望增加这些群体的参与度。通过向广泛的学院和大学做广告，来自更多不同机构的参与者应该能够参加会议并从会议中受益。广泛而多样化的人口对于研究界的健康至关重要。
