Student Travel Support for the SIGCOMM 2013 Conference

本项目资助美国院校10名研究生和2名博士后参加SIGCOMM 2013会议。ACM SIGCOMM 2013会议将于2013年8月12日至8月16日在香港举行。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。SIGCOMM是一个非常高选择性（14%），高质量的会议，由ACM赞助。会议是展示和讨论网络领域重要研究成果的重要论坛。旅行补助金的接受者将通过广泛宣传的竞争程序选出，包括提交旅行补助金申请并由与SIGCOMM组织有关的旅行补助金委员会审查。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。

This project supports the travel of 10 graduate students and 2 postdoctoral students from U.S. institutions to the SIGCOMM 2013 conference. The ACM SIGCOMM 2013 Conference will be held between August 12 and August 16, 2013, in Hong Kong. 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. SIGCOMM is a very highly selective (14%), high-quality conference sponsored by the ACM. The conference is a major forum for presentation and discussion of important research results in networking. Recipients of the travel grants will be selected via a widely advertised competitive process involving submitting a travel grant application and review by a travel grant committee associated with the SIGCOMM organization.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 underrepresented 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.
