Travel Grant for Attending 31st IEEE Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS)

该项目为参加2012年10月8-11日在美国加州尔湾举行的第31届IEEE可靠分布式系统（SRDS）研讨会（http://web.mst.edu/~cswebdb/srds2012/）being)的美国学生和初级教师提供旅费资助。这是一个高质量的技术会议，面向对分布式系统的可靠性、安全性、可用性、隐私性和安全性感兴趣的研究人员和实践者。它通常会吸引100-125篇论文，25-30篇被接受的论文，以及75 - 100名与会者。此外，会议还设有研讨会和博士论坛活动。本次会议的中型性质使其适合于参与者之间的扩展技术讨论。颁奖典礼在美国举行，让来自美国的参加者了解世界各地的计算机专业和研究环境，这可能会对获奖者刚刚起步的研究事业产生丰富的影响，并开启他们与来自美国、欧洲和亚洲的学术界和工业界参与者之间的讨论。

This project supports travel grants to US students and junior faculty to participate in the 31st IEEE Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS)(http://web.mst.edu/~cswebdb/srds2012/)being held in Irvine, CA, USA, October 8-11, 2012. This is a high quality technical conference for researchers and practitioners who are interested in reliability, security, availability, privacy, and safety of distributed systems. It typically attracts 100-125 papers, 25-30 accepted papers, and 75 to 100 attendees. In addition, the conference also has workshops and PhD forum activities. The middle-sized nature of this conference makes it suitable for extended technical discussions among participants. Being held in the US to enable participants from the US to learn about the computing profession and research environment around the world will likely to have an enriching effect on the fledgling research careers of the awardees and start off discussions between them and the academic and industrial participants from US, Europe and Asia in general.
