项目摘要

There is a need for highly precise, real time, fine grained spatiotemporal sampling of the ocean environment, which forms the vast majority of the surface area of our planet, but yet is 90% unexplored. Current methods such as remote telemetry and sequential local sensing cannot satisfy current requirements, let alone future ones. The notion of an underwater network is relatively new due to the lack of maturity of underwater acoustic communications. And yet, networks are critical in order to achieve the monitoring goals noted above. The Ninth ACM International Conference on Underwater Networks & Systems (WUWNet?14), to be held in Rome, Italy, is a leading conference showcasing research in this area, and features a rich technical program, including technical sessions, keynote speeches as well as poster and demo sessions. This award will promote student participation in WUWNet'14 by supporting their travel and registration costs to the conference.Conference attendance is a crucial part of the life of a researcher. By creating new opportunities for students (especially those from under-represented groups) to attend a high-quality conference, this project will benefit the research community in several ways. The students themselves benefit from the opportunity to meet and interact with many other researchers in a favorable setting, and from attending research presentations that may be related to their research areas. The research community also benefits by training the next generation of researchers.

需要对海洋环境进行高精度、实时、细粒度的时空采样，海洋环境构成了我们星球的绝大多数表面积，但 90% 的区域尚未开发。当前的遥测和顺序本地传感等方法无法满足当前的要求，更不用说未来的要求了。由于水声通信尚不成熟，水下网络的概念相对较新。然而，为了实现上述监测目标，网络至关重要。第九届 ACM 国际水下网络与系统会议 (WUWNet?14) 将于意大利罗马举行，是展示该领域研究的领先会议，具有丰富的技术议程，包括技术会议、主题演讲以及海报和演示会议。该奖项将通过支持学生参加会议的旅费和注册费用来促进学生参与 WUWNet'14。参加会议是研究人员生活的重要组成部分。通过为学生（特别是来自代表性不足群体的学生）创造参加高质量会议的新机会，该项目将从多个方面使研究界受益。学生本身有机会在有利的环境中与许多其他研究人员会面和互动，并参加可能与其研究领域相关的研究报告，从而受益匪浅。研究界还可以通过培训下一代研究人员而受益。
