SenSys 2003 - Call for 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.
Details of the application process are presented below and can also be found at:
http://www.cens.ucla.edu/sensys03/TravelSupport.htm
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(a)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.

Workshop Website:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/wiopt04/
This workshop is intended to bring together leading researchers from
both academia and industry to present both foundations and practical
methods and tools for modeling and optimisation of mobile and ad hoc
networks. The workshop will bring together researchers studying
optimisation issues of mobile networks from both the network
performance and the mobile networking perspectives:
* Mobile Network Optimisation: Applications and Algorithms
* Performance characterisation and optimisation of
mobile/wireless networks and systems
* Protocol design (MAC, Routing) for optimal mobile network
utilisation
* Tools for network optimisation
* Energy efficiency in mobile networks
* Security and co-operation models for mobile networks
* Pricing and incentives in mobile and ad hoc networks.
Papers to be presented at WiOpt'04 will be selected based on extended
abstracts of up to 8 pages, double-spaced, 12 point font size. The
submission should not exceed 3000 words including tables and figures,
each of which count as 250 words. Authors of accepted presentations
will have the opportunity to publish either the extended abstract or
the full paper in a proceedings volume. Full papers will further be
considered for publication in a special issue of the MONET journal.
