The 2014 IEEE Conference on Computer Communications (INFOCOM) will be held in Toronto, Canada, April 27-May 2, 2014. This preeminent technical conference is the primary venue for presenting new research results in the area of computer communications, and is widely attended by researchers and practitioners in the field. Attending conferences such as INFOCOM is very important for the career development of graduate students. Participants have the opportunity to present their work, attend panel and keynote sessions, and interact with hundreds of others performing leading-edge research in the field. This proposal requests funding to support approximately 20 graduate students in the United States to attend this premier conference. Graduate students, in particular women and underrepresented minority students, will be supported, since attending conferences is an important part of their educational experience and they often have limited travel funds.

2014年IEEE计算机通信大会（INFOCOM）将于2014年4月27日至5月2日在加拿大多伦多举行。这个卓越的技术会议是展示计算机通信领域新研究成果的主要场所，该领域的研究人员和从业人员广泛参加。参加诸如INFOCOM之类的会议对研究生的职业发展非常重要。参与者有机会展示他们的工作，参加小组讨论和主题会议，并与数百名在该领域进行前沿研究的其他人进行互动。该提案要求资助大约20名美国研究生参加这次重要会议。研究生，特别是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生，将得到支持，因为参加会议是他们教育经历的重要组成部分，而他们的旅费往往有限。
