CALL FOR TRAVEL GRANT APPLICATIONS
17TH IFIP WORLD COMPUTER CONGRESS (WCC 2002), AUGUST 25-30, 2002, MONTREAL, CANADA
ACM / IEEE-CS May Offer Partial Travel Support for U.S. Participants
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS) are both United States-based members of IFIP, the International Federation for Information Processing. In support of a key IFIP activity and as a service to their U.S. members, ACM, in cooperation with IEEE-CS, has applied for a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to provide partial travel support to 40 United States participants attending the 17th IFIP World Computer Conference (WCC 2002).
The theme of WCC 2002 is "Information Technology for Our Times: Ideas, Research and Application in an Inclusive World." It will be held in Montreal, Canada, August 25-30, 2002.
There will be nine conference streams:
1. Foundations of Information Technology in the Era of Network and Mobile Computing (TCS 2002)
2. Software Architecture
3. Tele-learning
4. Communication Systems: The State of the Art
5. Information Systems: The E-Business Challenge
6. Human Choice and Computers: Issues of Choice and Quality of Life in the Information Society
7. Distributed and Parallel Embedded Systems (DIPES 2002)
8. Intelligent Information Processing (IIP 2002)
9. Usability: Gaining a Competitive Edge
More specific information about the conference can be found at http://www.wcc2002.org/.
Funding by ACM is contingent on approval by the NSF of ACM's grant request and will be limited to covering economy-class transportation costs (air, rail) up to a $750 maximum per attendee. A review panel consisting of representatives from ACM and IEEE-CS will evaluate individual grant applications. Applicants should provide the selection committee with the following information:
1. Name, mailing address 2. Telephone and fax numbers, email address 3. Business title and affiliation 4. Indication of expected WCC 2002 participation (panel chair, speaker, discussant, other activity) 5. Reasons for requesting the travel grant including how participation will benefit current activities and research 6. Current resume
** Please Note** All award recipients must be residents of the United States and travel by U.S. carriers. In addition, they will be required to file a brief report on their activities and experience at the conference.
Applications should be submitted by May 1, 2002 to Fred Aronson, ACM, 1515 Broadway, New York, NY 10036 USA; email: aronson@acm.org; fax: 212-302-5826; phone: 212-626-0515.
