SODA 2017 Travel Grant

该奖项将支持学生和博士后参加2017年1月16日至19日在西班牙巴塞罗那举行的ACM/SIAM离散算法科学年度研讨会(SODA)。SODA是由计算机械协会(ACM)和工业与应用数学学会(SIAM)共同发起的。SODA是离散算法领域最重要的年度研究会议，也是理论计算机科学的三大主要会议之一。苏打自1990年以来每年举行一次会议，通常一年有300多人参加。它与ALENEX(算法工程和实验会议)和Analco(算法分析会议)这两个较小的研讨会位于同一地点。来自世界各地的研究人员参加了苏打水的研究。算法领域是一个充满活力的领域，年轻研究人员的参与率很高，许多论文都有学生作者。对于这些学生作者和学生与会者来说，会议是一次宝贵的教育经验，无论是演讲的技术内容还是它提供的网络机会。该奖项将为大约20名学生提供部分支持，部分支付旅费和住宿费。将努力支持代表不足群体的学生。

This award will support student and postdoctoral attendance at the Annual ACM/SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms Science (SODA), in Barcelona, Spain, January 16 to 19, 2017. SODA is co-sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). SODA is the premier annual research conference in the field of discrete algorithms and one of the three premier conferences in theoretical computer science. SODA has been meeting annually since 1990 and in a typical year has over 300 attendees. It is co-located with two smaller workshops, ALENEX (Meeting on Algorithm Engineering and Experimentation) and ANALCO (Meeting on Analysis of Algorithms). SODA is attended by researchers from all over the world. The field of algorithms is a vibrant one, with high participation rates from young researchers, and many papers with student authors. For these student authors and student attendees, the conference serves as a valuable educational experience, both for the technical content of the talks and for the opportunities for networking that it provides.The award will provide partial support to approximately twenty students, partly defraying the cost of travel and lodging. Efforts will be made to support students from under-represented groups.
