项目摘要

ACM Mobihoc has been a premier venue for publishing results on the theory and design of wireless networks and mobile computing, and serves among the top two venues that attract leading researchers in this area. The 2016 edition of this conference features a technical program with a sizable portion of papers from several U.S.-based institutions. Given the high cost of travel to this venue, NSF travel grants provided by this award will be used to defray part of the expenses incurred in attending this conference for the travel grantees.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 benefits from the improvement of the students in the pipeline, and from the introduction of new researcher perspectives. Additionally, everybody benefits from increased diversity of participants attending the conference. Given that the PI has reserved a portion of the travel funds to target under-represented groups in this area, it will increase the international exposure for such grantees.

ACM Mobihoc一直是发表有关无线网络和移动计算理论和设计结果的首要场所，并且是吸引该领域领先研究人员的前两个场所。该会议的2016年版具有一项技术计划，其中包含来自美国几个机构的大量论文。鉴于该场地的高昂旅行成本，该奖项提供的NSF旅行补助金将用于支付参加此次会议的旅行授予者的部分费用。会议出勤是研究人员生活的重要组成部分。通过为学生（尤其是来自代表性不足的团体的学生）参加高质量会议的新机会，该项目将以几种方式使研究社区受益。学生自己受益于在有利的环境中与许多其他研究人员见面和互动的机会，并参加可能与他们的研究领域有关的研究演讲。研究社区受益于研究中的学生的改善，以及新的研究人员的观点的引入。此外，每个人都从参加会议的参与者的多样性中受益。鉴于PI保留了一部分旅行资金来针对该领域代表性不足的群体，因此它将增加该授予者的国际风险。
