Student Travel Support for the 2017 International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD); Boston, MA; November 5-8, 2017

这项提案要求资助15名美国研究生参加第35届IEEE国际计算机设计会议(ICCCD)，目的是让他们接触这一学科，并鼓励他们在计算机体系结构新出现的问题上追求职业生涯。参加这次研讨会被认为是学生在计算机工程领域研究生院经历的重要组成部分，提供了与资深研究人员互动和接触该领域前沿工作的机会。这种支持将使科学知识能够传播给原本没有这种经历的学生。这项学生旅行支持也将促进有前途的研究生的发展，因此也将间接地帮助培训未来在计算机工程重要领域的劳动力。妇女和任职人数不足的群体将得到适当考虑，以便通过这笔赠款获得支助。在过去的34年里，国际计算机设计会议(ICCCD)一直是探讨新兴趋势和新概念计算机设计问题的主要学术论坛。第35届会议将讨论该领域的主要趋势和挑战，包括主旨和全体会议、技术论文会议、教程、小组讨论、特别会议。会议委员会已经建立了适当的评估标准，从通过公开广告形成的申请者池中挑选合格的学生。该委员会还计划考虑一小部分本科生申请者，以便更好地接触到该领域潜在研究人员的多样化群体。

This proposal requests funding to assist 15 US-based graduate students for attending the 35-th IEEE International Conference on Computer Design (ICCCD) with the intention of exposing them to the discipline and to encourage them to pursue careers in emerging issues in computer architecture. Participation in this symposium is considered an important part of the graduate school experience of students in the field of computer engineering, providing the opportunity to interact with senior researchers and to be exposed to leading edge work in the field. The support will enable dissemination of scientific knowledge to students who would otherwise not have the experience. This student travel support will also facilitate the development of promising graduate students, and will thus indirectly also help train the workforce of the future in the important area of computer engineering. Women and underrepresented groups will be given due consideration for receiving support through this grant. The International Conference on Computer Design (ICCCD) for the past 34 years has been the premier academic forum where emerging trends and novel concepts computer design issues are explored. The 35-th edition of this conference will addresses key trends and challenges in the area that includes Keynote and Plenary Talks, Technical Paper Sessions, Tutorials, Panels, Special Sessions. The conference committee has set up an adequate evaluation criteria to select the qualified students from a pool of applicants formed via open advertisement. The committee also plans to consider a small number of undergraduate applicants in order to better reach a diverse population of potential researchers in this field.
