Student Travel Grants to Attend the Second Networking Networking Women (N2Women) Workshop

联网妇女（N2 Women）促进妇女在妇女代表人数不足的联网和通信研究界的联系。该奖项支持来自美国机构的学生参加与IEEE INFOCOM 2012，第31届计算机通信年度国际会议共同举办的第二届N2 Women研讨会。INFOCOM将于2012年3月25日至30日在佛罗里达的奥兰多举行。N2 Women研讨会安排在主会议开始的前一天（2012年3月26日，星期一），让与会者形成联系，如果他们也参加会议，可以加强联系。优先考虑将受益于参加研讨会的学生，但由于无法获得旅费而不太可能参加。智力价值：这一建议的智力价值包括学生参与者本身将从N2 Women讲习班中获益并对讲习班作出贡献;可能对其未来研究产生积极影响的信息和联系，以及使他们能够参加2012年INFOCOM的共同地点，这是网络和通信方面的首要会议。N2 Women讲习班的技术内容（以及INFOCOM 2012，如果他们参加）预计将激励学生解决其领域的挑战性研究问题，并帮助他们实现其长期研究目标。更广泛的影响：该提案的更广泛的影响是代表性不足的研究生的专业发展，根据这项赠款，能够参加N2 Women讲习班。该补助金为这些研究生提供了参加主讲人的高素质技术演讲的机会，在海报会议中接触到最先进的研究，参加与领先研究人员的指导会议，并与其他研究生建立联系。目标是对学生产生长期的积极影响？careers.

Networking Networking Women (N2Women) fosters connections among women in networking and communications research community in which women are underrepresented. This award supports students from U.S. institutions to attend the Second N2Women Workshop co-located with IEEE INFOCOM 2012, the 31st Annual International Conference on Computer Communications. INFOCOM will be held March 25-30, 2012 in Orlando, Florida. The N2Women workshop is scheduled on the day before the main conference begins (Monday, March 26th, 2012), allowing the attendees to form connections that can then be strengthened if they also attend the conference. Priority is given to students who will benefit from attending the workshop, but are unlikely to attend due to the unavailability of travel funding. Students attending the workshop are encouraged to stay and attend INFOCOM.Intellectual Merit:The intellectual merit of this proposal includes contributions that the student participants themselves will gain from and make to the N2Women Workshop; the information and connections that could positively impact their future research, and the co-location that allows them to participate in INFOCOM 2012, a premier conference in networking and communications. The exposure to the technical content of the N2Women Workshop (and to INFOCOM 2012 if they attend) is expected to inspire students to address challenging research problems in their field and to help them meet their long-term research goals.Broader Impacts:The broader impact of this proposal is the professional development of the under-represented graduate students that under this grant are able to attend the N2Women Workshop. The grant provides these graduate students the opportunity to attend high-caliber technical presentations from keynote speakers, be exposed to state-of-the-art research in a poster session, participate in mentoring sessions with leading researchers, and network with fellow graduate students. The goal is to make long-term positive impacts on the students? careers.
