Student and Minority Faculty Travel Support for Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Data Communication 2007 Conference

2007年ACM SIGCOMM通信架构、协议和应用会议将于2007年8月27日至31日在日本京都举行。该会议是审查计算机网络和通信最新技术的首要技术会议。该奖项将帮助大约16名美国（包括波多黎各）研究生以及大约2名美国-代表性不足的少数民族（包括妇女）教师或美国机构的教师，主要是代表性不足的少数民族（包括妇女）参加本次会议。参加会议，如SIGCOMM是研究生院经验的一个非常重要的组成部分，以及在数据网络的教学和研究的重要组成部分。它提供了与更高级的研究人员互动的机会，并接触到该领域的前沿研究。该奖项使学生和少数民族或少数民族在职教师谁否则将无法参加ACM SIGCOMM 2007的参与。对于学生支持的部分，旅费赠款主席致力于鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的参与。智力优点：该项目建议为研究生，少数民族，或少数民族在职教师参加SIGCOMM 2007提供旅费支持。这将使他们接触到新的想法，并允许与其他研究人员进行互动。更广泛的影响：该项目通过接触计算机网络和通信领域的首要技术会议，将研究和教育结合起来。学生和少数民族教师将有机会观察高质量的演示文稿，并与该领域的高级研究人员互动。学生的参与将对学生的兴趣和他们的研究质量，教师的教学和他们的研究质量产生积极的影响。鼓励妇女和其他少数民族学生参加。

The 2007 ACM SIGCOMM Conference on Communications Architectures, Protocols and Applications will be held in Kyoto, Japan, from the 27th to the 31st of August of 2007. This conference is the premier technical meeting that examines the state-of-the-art in computer networks and communications. This award will assist approximately 16 United States-based (including Puerto Rico) graduate students as well as approximately 2 U.S.-based under-represented minority (including women) faculty members or faculty members of U.S. institutions that are primarily serving under represented minorities (including women) in attending this meeting. Participation in conferences such as SIGCOMM is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, as well as an important part of the teaching and research in data networking. It provides the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and to be exposed to leading edge research in the field. The award enables the participation of students and minority or minority serving faculty members who would otherwise be unable to attend ACM SIGCOMM 2007. For the portion for student support, the travel grant chairs are committed to encouraging the participation of women and under-represented minorities.Intellectual Merit: This project proposes to provide travel support for graduate students, minority, or minority serving faculty members to attend SIGCOMM 2007. This will expose them to new ideas and allow for interaction with other researchers.Broader Impact: This project integrates research and education of students through exposure to the premier technical meeting in computer networks and communications. Students and minority faculty members will have the opportunity to observe high-quality presentation and interact with senior researchers in the field. The proposed student participation will have positive impact on students' interest and the quality of their research, on faculty member's teaching and the quality of their research. Woman and other minority students are encouraged to participate.
