NeTS: Student Travel Support for the 2015 CoNEXT Conference

该项目部分支持16名美国研究生参加将于2015年12月1日至12月4日在德国海德堡举行的第11届新兴网络实验与技术国际会议（CoNEXT）。CoNEXT是由ACM数据通信特别兴趣小组（SIGCOMM）主办的高选择性、高质量的会议。该会议是展示和讨论新型网络协议和技术的主要论坛。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。学生将有机会在主要会议和相关研讨会上观察高质量的演讲，并与该领域的高级研究人员互动。将特别强调鼓励妇女和代表性不足群体的参与。提供给每个学生的支持金额将为1,250美元或实际记录的费用金额，以金额较少者为准。每个学生将需要从其他基金支付超过固定金额的费用。在会议第一天举行的CoNEXT学生研讨会上，作品被接受的学生将优先获得旅行补助金。其他标准将包括通过课程作业和/或项目经验证明对网络有浓厚兴趣的证据。

This project partially supports the travel of 16 US-based graduate students to the 11th International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT), which will take place from December 1 to December 4, 2015 in Heidelberg, Germany. CoNEXT is a highly selective, high-quality conference sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM). The conference is a major forum for presentation and discussion of novel networking protocols and technologies. This project integrates research and education of students through exposure to a premier technical meeting in computer networks and communications. Students will have the opportunity to observe high-quality presentations and interact with senior researchers in the field both in the main conference and the associated workshops. Special emphasis will be placed on encouraging the participation of women and under-represented groups.The support amount provided to each student will be $1,250 or the actual documented amount of expenses, whichever amounts to less. Each student will need to cover expenses in excess of the fixed amount from other funds. Preference in the award of the travel grants will be given to students who have their work accepted to the CoNEXT student workshop which will take place the first day of the conference. Other criteria will include evidence of a serious interest in networking, as demonstrated by coursework and/or project experience.
