Student Travel Support for the ACM SIGCOMM 2014 Conference

ACM SIGCOMM 2014会议将于2014年8月17日至22日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥市举行。ACM SIGCOMM是计算机协会的旗舰年度会议。美国数据通信特别兴趣小组。该奖学金资助来自美国机构的约16名研究生和3名博士后研究人员参加本次会议。参加SIGCOMM等会议是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分，为学生提供了与更多高级研究人员互动的机会，并接触到该领域的前沿研究。该奖项将使研究生和博士后研究人员能够参加SIGCOMM 2014年主要会议和相关研讨会，否则他们将无法参加。旅行补助金主席鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的参与。智力奖励：该奖项为美国研究生和博士后研究人员参加ACM SIGCOMM 2014会议提供旅费支持。SIGCOMM是网络社区的旗舰会议，也是竞争激烈的场所（录取率在10%左右）。其丰富的课程使参与者接触到新的想法和前沿的研究，并允许来自世界各地的研究人员之间的互动。更广泛的影响：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。学生和初级研究人员将有机会观察高质量的报告，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。该项目将通过鼓励和使妇女和其他代表性不足的少数群体参与来促进多样性。此外，SIGCOMM作为年度会议的真正国际风味是众所周知的，它培养了国际研究互动，并为学生和初级研究人员提供了一个巨大的机会，以增加他们的思想广度和技术视角。

The ACM SIGCOMM 2014 Conference will be held August 17-22, 2014, in Chicago, Illinois. ACM SIGCOMM is the flagship annual conference of the Association for Computing Machinery?s Special Interest Group on Data Communications. This award financially assists approximately 16 graduate students and 3 postdoctoral researchers from US institutions to attend this conference. Participation in conferences such as SIGCOMM is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, providing students with an opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and exposure to leading edge research in the field. The award will enable graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, who would be otherwise unable to do so, to attend the main SIGCOMM 2014 conference and the associated workshops. The travel grant chairs encouraged the participation of women and under-represented minorities. Intellectual Merit: This award provides travel support for US-based graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to attend the ACM SIGCOMM 2014 conference. SIGCOMM is the flagship conference in the networking community and a highly competitive venue (with acceptance rate around 10%). Its rich program exposes participants to new ideas and cutting-edge research and allows for interaction among researchers from all over the world.Broader Impacts: This project integrates research and education of students through exposure to a premier technical conference in computer networks and communications. Students and junior researchers 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. The project will promote diversity by encouraging and enabling women and other under-represented minorities to participate. Furthermore, the truly international flavor of SIGCOMM as an annual conference is well-known and cultivates international research interactions and presents a tremendous opportunity to students and junior researchers to increase their breadth of ideas and technical perspectives.
