Chinese-American Network Symposium 2010

这项提案要求资金支持CANS 2010的旅行和相关费用，这是一个年度研讨会，历史上每年都会在美国和中国之间轮流举行。研讨会预计将吸引60-70人参加。在美国方面，这项提案支持最多11名参与者的旅费，以及与举办活动相关的成本，如会议空间租金和A/V设备。5名研究生或青年研究人员也将得到支持。中科院和CERNET是中国的两个主要的先进网络资助和运营组织(SAC通过其CNIC部门)，它们的支持函出现在提案中，并被描述为CANS的长期合作伙伴。这次研讨会的目的是为了促进思想交流(该提议的学术价值)，该提议声称，否则美国领导人和网络研究人员与中国之间不会发生这种交流。更广泛的影响指的是这次和以前的此类事件造成的持续互动和协作。活动定于9月19日至21日举行。

This proposal requests funds to support travel and associated costs for CANS 2010, an annual symposium that historically has alternated each year between a location in the U.S. and China. The symposium is expected to draw 60-70 people. On the U.S. side, this proposal supports travel costs for up to 11 participants, and costs associated with running the event such as meeting space rental and a/v equipment. 5 graduate students or young investigators will be supported in their participation as well. Letters of support from the Chinese Acadamy of Sciences (CAS) and CERNET, the two primary advanced networking funding and operational organizations (SAC through their CNIC division) in China, appear in the proposal and are described as long standing partners in CANS. The symposium is intended to enable the exchange of ideas (the proposal's intellectual merit) that, the proposal claims, would not otherwise happen between leaders and network researchers in the U.S. and China. Broader impact is referenced as the ongoing interactions and collaborations resulting from this and previous such events. The event is scheduled for September 19-21.
