0838746Karen SollinsThe 2008 ACM Conference on Communications Architectures, Protocols and Applications will be held in Seattle, WA, August 17-22, 2008. This conference is the premier technical meeting that examines the state-of-the-art in computer networks and communications. This award provides funding to 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 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 support requested in this proposal will enable the participation of students and minority or minority serving faculty members who would otherwise be unable to attend AMC SIGCOMM 2008. The Travel Grant committee and SIGCOMM are committed to encouraging the participation of women and under-represented minorities.Intellectual Merit: This project proposes to provide travel support for graduate students and minority and minority-serving faculty members to attend SIGCOMM 2008. 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 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. The faculty participation will have an impact on teaching, the quality of the research and on their own students? research in their home institutions.

karen sollins 2008年ACM通信架构、协议和应用会议将于2008年8月17-22日在华盛顿州西雅图举行。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。该奖项为大约16名在美国（包括波多黎各）的研究生以及大约2名在美国的弱势少数族裔（包括女性）教职员工或主要为弱势少数族裔服务的美国机构的教职员工提供资金，帮助他们参加本次会议。参加SIGCOMM等会议是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分，也是数据网络教学和研究的重要组成部分。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研究。本提案中要求的支持将使学生和少数族裔或少数族裔在职教职员工能够参与，否则他们将无法参加AMC SIGCOMM 2008。旅行补助金委员会和SIGCOMM致力于鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的参与。智力奖励：本项目建议为研究生和少数民族及服务少数民族的教员参加SIGCOMM 2008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。该项目通过接触计算机网络和通信领域的主要技术会议，将学生的研究和教育结合起来。学生和少数族裔教师将有机会观看高质量的演讲，并与该领域的资深研究人员互动。建议的学生参与会对学生产生积极影响吗？他们的研究兴趣和质量。教师的参与会对教学、研究质量和他们自己的学生产生影响吗？在他们自己的机构进行研究。
