Student Travel Support for the Special Interest Group on Data Communication 2009 Conference

SIGCOMM是数据通信特别兴趣小组的旗舰年度会议，该小组是计算机协会的一个特别兴趣小组。该奖项帮助来自美国机构的约12名研究生和3名博士后学生参加本次会议。参加会议，如SIGCOMM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进行互动，并使他们接触到该领域的前沿研究。本提案所要求的支持将使上述类别的人能够参加SIGCOMM 2009年的主要会议，否则他们将无法这样做。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：该项目建议为美国的研究生和博士后学生提供旅费支持，参加SIGCOMM 2009年的主要会议。SIGCOMM是网络社区的旗舰会议，也是竞争激烈的场所（接受率约为10%）。其丰富的项目使参与者接触到新的想法和前沿研究，并允许来自世界各地的研究人员之间的互动。更广泛的影响：首先，该项目通过接触计算机网络和通信领域的顶级技术会议，将研究和教育结合起来。学生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进行互动。建议的学生参与预计会对学生产生积极的影响？研究兴趣和质量。第二，该项目将通过鼓励和使妇女和其他代表性不足的少数群体能够参与来促进多样性。此外，SIGCOMM 2009的真正国际风味培养了国际研究互动，并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。

SIGCOMM is the flagship annual conference of the Special Interest Group on Data Communications, a special interest group of the Association for Computing Machinery. This award assists approximately 12 graduate students and 3 postdoctoral students from US institutions to attend this conference. Participation in conferences such as SIGCOMM is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, provides students with an opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and exposes them to leading edge research in the field. The support requested in this proposal will enable people in the above categories to attend the main SIGCOMM 2009 conference, who would be otherwise unable to do so. 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 US-based graduate and postdoctoral students to attend the main SIGCOMM 2009 conference. SIGCOMM is the flagship conference in the networking community and a highly competitive venue (with acceptance rate around 10%). Its rich program exposes participants to new ideas and cutting-edge research and allows for interaction between researchers from all over the world.Broader Impact: First, 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. The proposed student participation is expected to have a positive impact on the students? research interests and quality. Second, the project will promote diversity by encouraging and enabling women and other under-represented minorities to participate. Furthermore, the truly international flavor of SIGCOMM 2009 cultivates international research interactions and presents a tremendous opportunity to students to increase their breadth of ideas, research approaches, and technical perspectives.
