Student Travel Support for the 2003 Internet Measurement Conference

IMC是展示收集和分析互联网测量数据的新研究成果的主要场所。去年在法国马赛举行的研讨会有100多人参加，还有更多的人希望参加。这项提案要求提供资金，以帮助在美国各机构就读的研究生参加这次首次会议。参加会议，如IMC是研究生在该领域进行研究的重要性。作者有机会展示他们的工作，所有与会者有机会与许多其他人进行互动，在该领域的前沿研究。智力优势：这一建议将有助于扩大观众参加互联网测量会议，提高互动水平和新的合作，新的调查和更高质量的研究的潜力。这项提议，通过让那些原本可能无法参加的学生参加，将增加会议研究成果向更大和更多样化的受众的传播。通过优先向妇女和少数民族学生发放助学金，我们希望扩大这些代表性不足的群体的参与。此外，通过向广泛的学院和大学做广告，来自更多样化机构的参与者应该能够参加会议并从中受益。

IMC is the primary venue for presenting new research results on collecting and analyzing mea-surementsof the Internet. Last year's workshop, held in Marseille, France, had more than 100attendees, with a waiting list of additional people wishing to participate.This proposal requests funding to aid graduate students enrolled in institutions in the UnitedStates in attending this premiere conference. Attending conferences such as IMC is of paramountimportance for graduate students pursuing research in the field. Authors have the opportunityto present their work and all attendees have a chance to interact with many others performingleading-edge research in the field.Intellectual Merit: This proposal will serve to widen the audience attending the InternetMeasurement Conference, raising the level of interaction and the potential for new collaboration,new investigations, and higher quality research.Broader Impact: This proposal, by enabling students to attend who might not otherwisebe able, will increase the dissemination of the conference's research results to a larger and morediverse audience. By giving preference in grant awards to women and minority students, we hopeto widen the participation among these underrepresented groups. Furthermore, by advertising to awide range of colleges and universities, participants from a more diverse set of institutions shouldbe able to attend and benefit from the conference.
