Travel Support for the Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems

编程语言和操作系统的架构支持国际会议（ASPLOS）是一个重要的多学科会议，其研究跨越了硬件，计算机体系结构，编译器，语言，操作系统，网络和应用程序的边界。ASPLOS为科学家和工程师提供了一个高质量的论坛，展示他们在这些快速变化的领域的最新研究成果。它抓住了过去二十年来一些主要的计算机系统创新（例如，RISC和VLIW处理器，小型和大型多处理器，集群和工作站网络，优化编译器，RAID和网络存储系统设计）。该提案旨在通过获得旅行资金来支持这一备受推崇的会议，以帮助学生支付参加2013年3月在美国德克萨斯州休斯顿举行的会议的费用。将优先考虑那些将在ASPLOS或其联合讲习班上展示其研究的学生，以及妇女和其他代表性不足的群体。就更广泛的影响而言，这项建议将有两个主要的直接好处。首先，asplos会议将得到加强，因为这种旅行支持将使出席人数增加。其次，那些获得旅行支持的学生将有机会参与ASPLOS所促进的所有重要的技术、专业和社会交流。我们还期望这项建议产生另外两个间接影响。首先，我们计划广泛宣传可获得的支持，以吸引妇女和代表性不足的少数群体出席。其次，通过明确向学生提供这种支持，我们希望增加学生对会议的参与。我们期待在会议上展示的研究成果——以及学术界和工业界研究人员之间的互动——将被与会者带回他们的家乡机构，从而提高对计算机体系结构、编程语言和操作系统等多学科研究的认识和兴趣。

The International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and OperatingSystems (ASPLOS) is a premier multi-disciplinary conference for research that spans the boundariesof hardware, computer architecture, compilers, languages, operating systems, networking, andapplications. ASPLOS provides a high quality forum for scientists and engineers to presenttheir latest research findings in these rapidly changing fields. It has captured some of themajor computer systems innovations of the past two decades (e.g., RISC and VLIW processors,small and large-scale multiprocessors, clusters and networks-of-workstations, optimizing compilers,RAID, and network-storage system designs). This proposal aims to support this highly regardedconference by obtaining travel funds to help students defray the costs of attending the conferencein March 2013 in Houston, Texas USA. Priority will be given to those students who will present their research at ASPLOS or its joint workshops, and to women and other under-represented groups.This proposal will have two primary direct benefits in terms of broader impact. First, theASPLOS conference will be strengthened as a result of the greater attendance that this travelsupport will enable. Second, those students receiving travel support will personally benefitfrom the opportunity to engage in the all-important technical, professional, and social exchangesthat ASPLOS fosters.We also expect this proposal to have two additional indirect impacts. First, we plan to widelyadvertise the available support in order to attract women and under-represented minority groupsin attendance. Second, by providing this support expressly to students, we expect to increasestudent participation in the conference. We anticipate that the research results presentedat the conference -- as well as the emphasis on interaction between researchers in academiaand industry -- will be carried back by attendees to their home institutions, resulting inheightened awareness and interests in multidisciplinary research in computer architectures,programming languages, and operating systems.
