SenSys 2003
The First ACM International
Conference
on
Embedded Networked Sensor Systems
November 5-7, 2003, Los Angeles, CA, USA
http://www.cens.ucla.edu/sensys2003/
Sponsored by ACM (SIGCOMM, SIGMOBILE, SIGARCH, SIGMETRICS,
SIGOPS), and NSF
Applications
for Student Travel Support Sponsored by
National Science Foundation The
2003 ACM SIGMOBILE International Conference on Embedded
Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2003), will be held in
Los Angeles, CA, from November 5--7, 2003.
Our goal is to assist fifteen to twenty(15-20) United
States-based graduate students to attend this meeting.
We anticipate that we will be able to reimburse up to $1000
to each award recipient, to cover travel, lodging, registration,
and meals. All travel support is made possible by a travel
grant from the US National Science Foundation.
Participation in conferences such as SenSys is an extremely
important part of the graduate school experience, providing
the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers
and be exposed to leading edge work in the field. Our goal
is to enable the participation of students who would otherwise
be unable to attend SenSys 2003.
Applications
An application for a travel award will consist of the student's
vita, a letter from the student, and a letter from the student's
advisor.
The letter from the student should include:
- A brief summary of research interests and accomplishments
to date;
- A description of areas reflected
in the SenSys 2003 program that would impact the student's
research; and
- Why the conference attendance is important
to the student.
In addition, the student's advisor should send a letter
of recommendation to the committee, that includes:
- Confirmation that the student is a Ph.D. candidate in
good standing;
- The suitability of the SenSys program material
to the student's research area;
- Ways this particular
student would benefit from attendance at the conference;
and
- The strengths and potential contributions of the
student.
Deadlines and Selection Committee
Applications for the travel award should be sent electronically
to Dr. Raghupathy Sivakumar (siva@ece.gatech.edu) to be received
by midnight of Monday, August 25th, 2003. The recipients
of the travel awards will be decided by a committee consisting
of Dr. Raghupathy Sivakumar (Georgia Institute of Technology),
Dr. Victor Bahl (Microsoft Research and Chair of SIGMOBILE),
Dr. Bhaskar Krishnamachari (University of Southern California),
and Dr. Erdal Cayirci (Turkish War Center and Istanbul Technical
University). The awards will be announced by Friday, Monday,
September 15th, 2003. Recipients will be required to accept
the award by Monday, September 22nd, 2003, so that alternates
can be notified in the event that a recipient declines.
