Student Travel Support for ACM SIGCOMM 2006 Conference

这项拨款的目的是为美国研究生前往意大利比萨参加ACM SIGCOMM 2006会议提供支持。SIGCOMM通信、协议和应用会议是审查计算机网络和通信的最新技术的首要技术会议。它收录了大量在计算机网络领域产生巨大影响的高质量论文。这项资助为研究生提供支持，因为他们是研究界的重要组成部分之一，他们往往没有足够的资金去参加会议，特别是当他们不是论文作者的时候。有了这笔拨款的支持，SIGCOMM 2006会议的旅行奖励计划将能够支持更多的学生，为更广泛的学生群体提供与各自领域的世界级科学家互动的机会。考虑到通过参加SIGCOMM 2006会议来激励学生进行高质量研究的潜力，这种旅行支持对培养下一代计算机网络和通信研究人员有很大的影响。

The purpose of this grant is to provide support for US-based graduate student travel to Pisa, Italy to attend ACM SIGCOMM 2006 conference. The SIGCOMM conference on Communications, Protocols, and Applications is the premier technical meeting that examines the state-of-the-art in computer networks and communications. It features a large percentage of high-quality papers that have tremendous impact on the field of computer networking. This grant offers support to graduate students since they constitute one of the important segments of the research community and they often have limited resources of funds to travel to conferences, especially when they are not paper authors. With the support of this grant, the travel award program of SIGCOMM 2006 conference will be able to extend its support to a much larger number of students, providing an opportunity for a broader student body to interact with world-class scientists in their fields. Considering the potential of motivating students to do high-quality research through the SIGCOMM 2006 conference participation, this travel support has strong impact on educating the next generation researchers in computer networks and communications.
