Student Travel Support for the 2009 Internet Measurement Conference

该旅行奖支持参加第九届ACM SIGCOMM互联网测量会议（IMC），该会议由ACM SIGCOMM主办，USENIX共同主办，将于2009年11月4日至6日在美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。该技术会议是展示网络中一个重要领域的新研究成果的主要场所，即网络测量。会议重点讨论了与观察互联网相关的许多研究问题，包括：流量分析、结构和拓扑特征、性能测量、基于测量的网络管理、网络应用的特征、监控系统的设计、异常检测、安全威胁的测量、支持测量的工具和环境、基于测量的仿真/测试平台评估、工作负载生成和建模。因此，参加IMC为来自美国学术机构的研究生提供了宝贵的研究和职业发展经验。参与者有机会展示他们的工作，参加小组和主题演讲以及技术会议，以及与从事该领域最先进研究的同行互动。大约有10名美国研究生有机会参加IMC。旅行奖将针对研究生，特别是女性和代表性不足的少数民族学生，因为他们参加研讨会的旅行资金往往有限；参加这样的活动是他们教育经历的重要组成部分。

This travel award supports participation in the Ninth ACM SIGCOMM Internet Measurement Conference (IMC), sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM and co-sponsored by USENIX, to be held in Chicago, IL, USA, November 4-6, 2009.This technical conference is the primary venue for presenting new research results in an important area in networking, namely that of network measurements. The conference focuses on many research issues associated with observing the Internet, including: traffic analysis, structure and topology characteristics, performance measurements, measurement-based network management, characteristics of network applications, design of monitoring systems, anomaly detection, measurement of security threats, tools and environments in support of measurement, measurement-based assessment of simulation/testbeds, workload generation and modeling. Thus attendance at IMC provides a valuable research and career development experience for graduate students from United States academic institutions. Participants have the opportunity to present their work, attend panel and keynote speeches and technical sessions, as well as interact with peers engaged in state-of-the-art research in the field. Approximately 10 US-based graduate students are provided the opportunity to attend IMC. The travel awards will target graduate students, in particular female and under-represented minority students, since they often have limited travel funds to attend workshops; attendance at such events is an important part of their educational experience.
