Travel Support for ACM SIGCOMM Conference 2003; Karlsruhe, Germany; August 25-29

2003年ACM SIGCOMM通信体系结构、协议和应用会议将于2003年8月25日至8月29日在德国卡尔鲁厄举行。该会议是审查计算机网络和通信领域最新技术的首要技术会议。这项提案要求拨款协助大约15名在美国的研究生参加这次会议。参加SIGCOMM等会议是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分，它提供了与更多高级研究人员互动的机会，并接触到该领域的前沿工作。本提案中要求的支持将使无法参加ACM SIGCOMM 2003的学生能够参与。

The 2003 ACM SIGCOMM Conference on Communications Architectures, Protocols and Applications will be held in Karlruhe, Germany, from August 25-August 29, 2003. This conference is the premier technical meeting that examines the state-of-the-art in computer networks and communications. This proposal requests funding to assist approximately 15 United States-based graduate students in attending this meeting. Participation in conferences such as SIGCOMM is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, providing the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and to be exposed to leading edge work in the field. The support requested in this propoal will enable the participation of students who would otherwise be unable to attend ACM SIGCOMM 2003.
