IEEE SRDS 2015: Request for Student Travel Awards for the 34th International IEEE Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems

该项目为参加2015年9月28日至10月1日在加拿大蒙特利尔举行的第34届IEEE 2015可靠分布式系统(SRDS)国际研讨会的学生提供NSF支持。SRDS 2015是一个主要的国际技术活动，汇集了以可靠的分布式计算应用程序和平台的各个方面为中心的技术研究论文、教程和研讨会。此外，会议还将包括多个主题演讲、前沿主题小组讨论、博士论坛和讨论会。会议的目标是多方面的：1)提供一个国际论坛，调查应对下一代关键任务分布式计算平台的主要挑战；2)通过小组讨论、海报、教程和讨论会议，刺激关于分布式计算和可靠性研究的互动讨论(3)通过会议和研讨会演示、互动海报会议、小组讨论和分组会议，激励和吸引未来几代研究人员。这一努力将促进下一代学生和研究人员为构建能够可靠和高效地工作的大规模分布式计算环境确定科学基础。这种旅行支持将允许更多合格和多样化的学生参与者。参加会议的学生既受益于会议的技术内容，也受益于与其他大学和产业界的资深研究人员的专业互动。将组织一个学生学者圆桌会议，在那里被选中的学生将有机会与社区中的资深研究人员进行非正式互动，并获得关于他们研究兴趣的反馈。SRDS 2015将为学生提供许多机会，让他们在非正式的氛围中见面、互动和交流想法，包括项目委员会成员、演讲者和组织者。

This project provides NSF support for students to attend and participate in the 34th IEEE 2015 International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS) to be held in Montreal, Canada on September 28-October 1, 2015. SRDS 2015 is a premier international technical event that brings together technical research papers, tutorials and workshops centered on various aspects of reliable distributed computing applications and platforms. Additionally, the conference will include multiple keynotes, panels on cutting edge topics, a Ph.D. forum and discussion sessions. The aims of the conference are manifold: 1) to provide a international forum for investigation of major challenges in addressing next-generation of mission critical distributed computing platforms; 2) to stimulate interactive discussions on research in distributed computing and reliability through panels, posters, tutorials, and discussion sessions (3) to motivate and engage future generations of researchers via conference and workshop presentations, interactive poster sessions, panel and breakout sessions. This effort will promote the next generation of students and researchers to identify scientific foundations for building large scale distributed computing environments that can work reliably and efficiently. This travel support will permit a more qualified and diverse group of student attendees. Students attending the conference benefit from both the technical content of the conference and the professional interaction with senior researchers from other universities and with industry. A Student Scholar Roundtable will be organized where selected students will get a chance to informally interact with senior researchers in the community and get feedback on their research interests. SRDS 2015 will offer many opportunities for students to meet, interact, and exchange ideas in an informal atmosphere including members of the program committee, speakers and organizers.
