This project will assist approximately 15 United States-based graduate students to attend the 15th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid 2015) that will be held May 4-7, 2015. Participation in conferences such as IEEE/ACM CCGrid is an extremely important part of graduate student research and career development, providing the opportunity for them to present their own work, attend panel and keynote speech sessions, attend doctoral symposium, interact with peers and more senior researchers, and expose themselves to leading edge work in the field of cluster, cloud and grid computing. The support requested in this proposal will enable more participation of the US-based graduate students who would otherwise be unable to attend CCGrid 2015. Women and minority candidates will be particularly encouraged to apply.The student activities planned this year are separated into three categories: (1) Conference planning, where senior researchers who are more experienced with the conference will explain the various events at the conference and work with individual students to custom create an agenda for each student, (2) Posters and Doctoral Symposium where all students participating in this program are required to present a short talk during the conference and present a poster describing their research areas at the poster session, and (3) Lunchtime Mentorship Activities, where the students would interact with senior researchers, discussing various topics of interest with them, such as (a) how to write effective papers, (b) careers in academia, industry and national labs, and (c) paper presentation techniques. At the end of he conference, travel grantees will be asked to write up about their experiences and what they learned from these discussions. A short report will be generated at the end of the conference explaining the full extent of these activities, and published on the conference website. A few selected students may be invited to participate in the report generation process.

该项目将帮助大约15名美国研究生参加将于2015年5月4日至7日举行的第15届IEEE/ACM集群、云和网格计算国际研讨会（CCGrid 2015）。参加IEEE/ACM CCGrid等会议是研究生研究和职业发展的一个极其重要的组成部分，为他们提供了展示自己工作的机会，参加小组和主题演讲会议，参加博士研讨会，与同行和更资深的研究人员互动，并接触到集群，云和网格计算领域的前沿工作。本提案中要求的支持将使更多无法参加CCGrid 2015的美国研究生能够参与。我们特别鼓励女性和少数民族考生申请。今年计划的学生活动分为三类：（1）会议策划，在会议上更有经验的高级研究人员将解释会议上的各种活动，并与个别学生合作，为每个学生定制议程，（2）海报和博士研讨会，所有参加该计划的学生都必须在会议期间发表简短讲话，并在海报会议上展示描述其研究领域的海报，以及（3）午餐时间导师活动，在那里，学生将与高级研究人员互动，与他们讨论各种感兴趣的话题，如（a）如何撰写有效的论文，（B）学术界，工业界和国家实验室的职业生涯，以及（c）论文演示技巧。在会议结束时，将要求旅行赠款获得者写下他们的经历以及他们从这些讨论中学到的东西。会议结束时将编写一份简短的报告，解释这些活动的全部范围，并在会议网站上公布。一些选定的学生可能会被邀请参加报告生成过程。
