Deadline: March 1st, 2020
</p>
<p>Travel support will provide up to $800 per domestic student
and up to $1,500 per international student to help cover the cost of the
student's travel. Although student authors of HotMobile 2020 papers who
are also presenting posters will be given priority for travel awards,
we will seriously consider applications from presenters of solely
posters and demos, as well as students who have not previously attended
HotMobile and do not have a presentation/poster/etc. We strongly
encourage the participation from women, underrepresented minorities,
persons with disabilities, or persons from developing countries. Some of
the awardees will be selected to play visible roles in the organization
and running of ACM HotMobile 2020, including registration desk duties
and/or writing and publishing a workshop summary.
