Student Travel Support for the SIGCOMM 2010 Conference

ACM SIGCOMM会议将在其历史上首次在印度举行。会议将于2010年8月30日至9月3日在印度新德里举行。ACM SIGCOMM是数据通信特殊兴趣小组的旗舰年度会议，该小组是计算机械协会的一个特殊兴趣小组。该奖学金资助来自美国机构的约12名研究生和3名博士后参加本次会议。参加SIGCOMM等会议是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分，为学生提供了与更多高级研究人员互动的机会，并使他们接触到该领域的前沿研究。该奖项将使上述类别的人员能够参加SIGCOMM 2010年的主要会议，否则他们将无法参加。旅行补助金主席致力于鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的参与。智力优势：本项目拟提供赴美研究生和博士后参加SIGCOMM 2010主要会议的旅费支持。SIGCOMM是网络社区的旗舰会议，也是竞争激烈的场所（录取率在10%左右）。其丰富的课程让参与者接触到新的想法和前沿的研究，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主要技术会议，将学生的研究和教育结合起来。学生将有机会观看高质量的演讲，并与该领域的高级研究人员互动。建议学生的参与，期望对学生的研究兴趣和质量产生积极的影响。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民族参与来促进多样性。此外，SIGCOMM作为年度会议的真正国际特色是众所周知的，并反映在技术计划委员会（TPC）的组成以及提交和接受的论文的作者身上。因此，它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，研究方法和技术视角的广度。第三，作为学生旅行资助计划的一部分，pi正在开发一个基于广泛成功的hotcrp的在线提交系统，他们将向社区公开提供该系统。

The ACM SIGCOMM Conference will be held in India for the first time in its history. The conference will be held between August 30 and September 3, 2010, in New Delhi, India. ACM 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 financially 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 award will enable people in the above categories to attend the main SIGCOMM 2010 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 2010 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 as an annual conference is well-known and reflected in the composition of the Technical Program Committee (TPC) as well as in the authors of the submitted and accepted papers. As such, it cultivates international research interactions and presents a tremendous opportunity to students to increase their breadth of ideas, research approaches, and technical perspectives. Third, as part of this student travel grants program, the PIs are developing an online submission system, based on the widely successful hotcrp, which they will make publicly available for use in the community.
