The 3rd International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT) will be held December 10-13, 2007 at the Columbia University campus in New York. CoNEXT 2007 is sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, which is ACM's Special Interest Group on Data Communications. This award will assist approximately 12 United States-based graduate students in attending this conference. Participation in conferences such as CoNEXT is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, providing students an opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and to be exposed to leading edge research in the field. There is also a special student workshop that will be organized with CoNEXT that is especially oriented to: (i) further such opportunities, (ii) allow students to get targeted feedback on their work, (iii) inform them about good strategies for conducting effective research, and (iv) educate them about different career paths past their degrees. The support requested in this proposal will enable students to participate in this workshop and to attend the CoNEXT 2007 conference, who would be other-wise unable to do either. 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 to attend CoNEXT 2007 and the associated workshops, which includes the student workshop and a workshop on future Internet design. This rich program will expose them to new ideas and allow for interaction with other researchers. In particular, the student workshop is geared to provide students an opportunity to present their current work, to receive explicit verbal as well as documented feedback on their work and their oral presentations, and to expose them to important issues such as how technical papers should be written to improve dissemination of results and how research problems should be judged for relevance and potential for impact.Broader Impact: This project integrates research and education of students through exposure to a premier technical meeting in computer networks and communications. Students will have the opportunity to observe high-quality presentations and interact with senior researchers in the field both in the main conference and the associated workshops. The proposed student participation will have a positive impact on students' interest and the quality of their research. Women and other minorities will be encouraged to participate. Among the papers submitted to the conference, the US has the single largest number of authors (approximately one-third). However, the remaining authors of submitted papers span 28 other countries. This diversity is also in evidence from the composition of the technical program committee of the conference. This truly international flavor of CoNEXT 2007, therefore, presents a tremendous opportunity to students to increase their breadth of ideas, research approaches, and technical perspectives.

第三届新兴网络实验和技术国际会议（CoNEXT）将于2007年12月10日至13日在纽约的哥伦比亚大学校园举行。CoNEXT 2007由ACM SIGCOMM赞助，这是ACM的数据通信特别兴趣小组。该奖学金将帮助大约12名美国研究生参加这次会议。参加会议，如CONEXT是研究生院经验的一个极其重要的组成部分，为学生提供了一个机会，与更高级的研究人员互动，并接触到该领域的前沿研究。还有一个特别的学生研讨会，将与CONEXT组织，特别是面向：（一）进一步这样的机会，（二）让学生得到有针对性的反馈他们的工作，（三）告知他们进行有效研究的良好策略，（四）教育他们不同的职业道路过去他们的学位。本提案中要求的支持将使学生能够参加本次研讨会并参加2007年的CoNEXT会议，否则他们将无法参加。学术价值：本项目提议为研究生提供旅费支助，以参加2007年下一届会议和相关的讲习班，其中包括学生讲习班和关于未来因特网设计的讲习班。这个丰富的计划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。特别是，学生研讨会旨在为学生提供一个展示他们当前工作的机会，接收关于他们工作和口头陈述的明确口头和书面反馈，并让他们了解重要问题，例如应该如何撰写技术论文以改善结果的传播，以及如何判断研究问题的相关性和潜在影响。该项目通过参加计算机网络和通信领域的重要技术会议，整合了学生的研究和教育。学生将有机会在主会议和相关研讨会上观察高质量的演讲，并与该领域的高级研究人员进行互动。建议的学生参与将对学生的兴趣和研究质量产生积极影响。将鼓励妇女和其他少数民族参加。 在提交给会议的论文中，美国拥有最多的作者（约三分之一）。然而，提交论文的其余作者来自其他28个国家。这种多样性也从会议技术方案委员会的组成中得到了证明。因此，这种真正的国际风味的CONEXT 2007，为学生提供了一个巨大的机会，以增加他们的思想，研究方法和技术观点的广度。
