Student Travel Support for the 13th USENIX File and Storage Technologies conference (FASTI 2015)

USENIX文件和存储技术会议（FAST）是存储系统创新研究的主要论坛，汇集了来自工业界和学术界的研究人员和实践者，揭示和讨论与文件和存储系统相关的主要主题。该奖项提供资金帮助大约20名美国研究生参加第13届USENIX FAST会议。参加领先的会议是研究生院经历的一个极其重要的部分，它提供了与更资深的研究人员互动的机会，并获得了接触前沿工作的机会。该奖项将资助那些无法参加FAST的学生的参与，特别强调在该领域支持妇女和其他代表性不足的少数民族。

The USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST) is a leading forum for innovative research in storage systems, bringing together researchers and practitioners from both industry and academia to reveal and discuss leading topics germane to file and storage systems. This award provides funding to assist approximately 20 U.S.-based graduate students to attend the 13th USENIX FAST Conference. Participation in leading conferences is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, providing opportunities to interact with more senior researchers and attain exposure to leading-edge work. This award will fund participation of those students who would otherwise be unable to attend FAST, with a particular emphasis upon supporting women and other underrepresented minorities in the field.
