The Sixth National Workshop for REU Research in Networking and Systems

Monterey, CA, November 4, 2019

Co-located with 16th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2019)

Scope

• Undergraduate research plays an important role in attracting our best undergraduates to continue towards graduate education in the science and engineering fields. Publishing research in a professional venue is part of the training for future researchers. The National Science Foundation (NSF) provides support for undergraduate research within the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. The goal of this workshop is to provide a venue for students to published their research done as part of the REU program.
• The workshop seeks original submissions in research areas that are currently funded by the NSF's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE). The key requirement for this workshop is that at least one author for each submission must be an undergraduate student funded as part of the NSF REU program, either as an REU supplement or REU Site.

Program

• Presentation: each paper will be presented by one of the authors in the format of oral presentation. The time allocated for each presentation is 18 minutes. A LCD projector will be set up at the room. Bring your own converter, if you laptop needs a special port connection to the projector. Details of program sessions are as follows.
