The goal of this project is to promote the progress of science by providing student travel scholarships to attend the 23nd IEEE International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (MASCOTS 2015), to be held in Atlanta, GA, on Oct. 5-7, 2015. The 2005 PITAC and 2007 NSF Cyberinfrastructure Vision reports make it clear that people are key to improving computational science and research and in maintaining the competitive edge of the United States. To this end, the project aims to support about 20 students from US-based universities to attend MASCOTS 2015 by defraying travel and hotel expenses for them. The conference offers opportunities for students to interact and learn about state-of-the-art research in the areas of computer networks and performance evaluation of computer systems by bringing together professionals from academic and industrial backgrounds in what has become a premier forum for discussing the design, implementation, and implication of modeling and advanced computing systems. There are significant growth opportunities available to the students, such as three days of technical sessions, keynotes/plenaries, panels, parallel sessions, an industrial session, and a poster reception. The goal is to improve the computing field by: exposing more students to technical experts and potential collaborators, building better relationships between students, helping students meet potential hosts for summer visits/internships, helping students meet potential post-doctoral sponsors, and encouraging the students to stay in the field. Especially, the supported students will interact with researchers who are doing key work in crucial computing areas such as systems, networking, I/O, middleware/OS, and applications. The broader impacts of the project are the opportunities for the students to gain access to contacts with academia, industry, and national laboratories, leading to useful feedback on the students' research as well as opportunities for future employment.

该项目的目标是通过提供学生旅行奖学金来促进科学的进步，参加将于2015年10月5日至7日在佐治亚州亚特兰大举行的第23届IEEE计算机和电信系统建模，分析和仿真国际研讨会（MASCOTS 2015）。2005年PITAC和2007年NSF网络基础设施愿景报告清楚地表明，人是改善计算科学和研究以及保持美国竞争优势的关键。为此，该项目旨在通过支付旅行和酒店费用，支持来自美国大学的约20名学生参加MASCOTS 2015。该会议为学生提供了机会，互动和了解最先进的研究领域的计算机网络和性能评估的计算机系统，汇集了来自学术和工业背景的专业人士，在什么已经成为一个首要的论坛讨论设计，实施和建模和先进的计算系统的含义。有显著的增长机会提供给学生，如三天的技术会议，主题演讲/全体会议，小组，平行会议，工业会议和海报招待会。我们的目标是通过以下方式改善计算领域：让更多的学生接触技术专家和潜在的合作者，在学生之间建立更好的关系，帮助学生满足夏季访问/实习的潜在主机，帮助学生满足潜在的博士后赞助商，并鼓励学生留在该领域。特别是，受支持的学生将与在关键计算领域（如系统，网络，I/O，中间件/操作系统和应用程序）进行关键工作的研究人员进行互动。该项目的更广泛的影响是学生有机会接触学术界，工业界和国家实验室，从而对学生的研究以及未来就业的机会提供有用的反馈。
