Student Travel Support for IEEE CNS 2013

资金要求支持学生参加第一届IEEE通信和网络安全会议（CNS），这是由IEEE ComSoc赞助，将于2013年10月14日至16日在华盛顿DC，美国举行。IEEE CNS会议是IEEE INFOCOM的衍生产品，定位为核心ComSoc会议，作为通信和网络研究人员，从业人员，政策制定者和用户交流思想，技术和工具，提高意识，并分享与安全和隐私相关的经验的首要论坛。它为通信和网络社区以及安全社区提供了一个独特的桥梁。本次会议的技术范围涵盖了通信和网络安全的大量领域，这有助于聚集来自世界各地的学术界，政府和行业的杰出科学家，讨论网络安全技术的新兴和多学科前沿。PI请求NSF提供支持（总额为14，000美元），以帮助支付大约15-20名美国研究生的费用。旅行奖的评选过程将涉及由PI主持的CNS 2013执行委员会的一个小组委员会。将优先考虑谁将受益于参加本次会议的学生，但不太可能参加由于旅行资金的不可用。旅行赠款将使更广泛的研究生群体受益，这将有助于扩大对通信和网络安全研究领域的参与。

Funds are requested to support students to attend the first IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS), which is sponsored by IEEE ComSoc and will be held on October 14-16, 2013, in Washington DC, USA. IEEE CNS conference is a spin-off of IEEE INFOCOM, and is positioned to be a core ComSoc conference that serves as a premier forum for communications and network researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and users to exchange ideas, techniques and tools, raise awareness, and share experience related to security and privacy. It provides a unique bridge for the communications and networking community and the security community. The technical scope of this conference encompasses a large number of areas in communications and network security which facilitates gathering of prominent scientists from academia, governments and industries from around the world to discuss the emerging and multidisciplinary frontiers of networking security technology. The PI requests support from NSF (at the total amount of $14,000) to help cover the expenses of approximately 15-20 US-based graduate students. The selection process for the travel award will involve a sub-committee of the CNS 2013 Executive Committee, chaired by the PI. Priority will be given to students who will benefit from attending this conference, but are unlikely to attend due to the unavailability of travel funding. The travel grants will tend to benefit a wider demographic of graduate students, which will help to broaden participation in the research area of communications and network security.
