Student Travel Support for 19TH ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles (SOSP); Lake George, NY; October 19-22, 2003

第十九届ACM操作系统原理研讨会将于2003年10月19日至22日在纽约乔治湖的博尔顿'sLanding举行。30多年来，SOSP一直是操作系统创新研究的领导论坛。像它的前辈一样，SOSP 2003将汇集来自世界各地的研究人员，展示和讨论最新的结果。除了内核、文件系统和网络的性能、功能和安全性等传统主题外，今年的会议还将越来越多地关注无处不在和移动的计算、传感器网络、覆盖和对等通信以及电源管理等新兴主题。特别值得注意的论文将被转发到ACM计算机系统交易为可能的期刊出版。此外，还将举办海报展示和工作进展会议，介绍有前途的初步工作。该提案要求资助20名美国研究生出席会议。参加领先的会议是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分，提供了与更资深研究人员互动的机会，并接触到前沿工作。本提案所要求的支持将使那些本来无法参加的学生能够参加。

The Nineteenth ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles will be held at Bolton'sLanding, Lake George, New York, October 19-22, 2003. For over 30 years SOSP has been theleading forum for innovative research in operating systems. Like its predecessors, SOSP2003 will bring together researchers from around the world to present and discuss thelatest results. In addition to such traditional topics as the performance, functionality,and security of kernels, file systems, and networks, this year's conference will placeincreasing attention on such emerging topics as ubiquitous and mobile computing, sensornetworks, overlay and peer-to-peer communications, and power management. Particularlynoteworthy papers will be forwarded to ACM Transactions on Computer Systems for possiblejournal publication. There will also be poster and work-in-progress sessions for thepresentation of promising preliminary work.This proposal requests funding to support the attendance of 20 US-based graduate students.Participation in leading conferences is an extremely important part of the graduateschool experience, providing the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers andto be exposed to leading edge work. The support requested in this proposal will makepossible the participation of students who would otherwise be unable to attend.
