Student Travel Support for the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Symposium on Software Defined Networking Research (SOSR) 2017 Conference

SDN研究研讨会（SOSR）是展示和讨论将塑造SDN未来的新网络技术的主要论坛。今年，SOSR再次与开放网络峰会（ONS）在同一地点举行，每一场活动的与会者都可以参加另一场活动的选定会议。研讨会将使这两个活动的学术界和工业界与会者能够就SDN的研究和发展进行互动。该提案要求资助10名在美国的学生参加本次会议。SOSR强调在国际层面上研究人员和行业从业者之间的互动，参加SOSR为美国学生提供了与蓬勃发展的国际研究界联系的绝佳机会。今年的SOSR 2017将包括一个演示和海报环节，让学生们展示并获得他们正在进行的工作反馈。该提案所要求的支持将使学生能够参加2017年SOSR的主要会议、演示和海报环节。否则这些学生将不能参加会议。智力奖励：该奖项为美国学生参加SOSR 2017及相关会议提供旅行支持。这个项目将让学生接触到新的想法，并允许他们与其他研究人员互动。特别是，通过接触软件定义网络的主要技术会议，与开放网络峰会（ONS）在同一地点举行，并且来自一个活动的与会者可以访问另一个活动的选定会议。学生将有机会在主要会议、演示和海报以及ONS会议上观察高质量的演讲，并与该领域的高级研究人员互动。更广泛的影响：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会议上观察高质量的演讲，并与该领域的高级研究人员互动，他们的参与将对他们的研究质量产生积极影响。将特别鼓励妇女和其他少数民族参加，并给予优先选择。SOSR会议已经发展成为一个顶级的国际会议，为学生提供了一个扩展思想广度、研究技能和技术视角的绝佳机会。这次会议将为学生们做好准备，使他们成为下一代计算机网络和通信研究人员的骨干。

The Symposium on SDN Research (SOSR) is a major forum for presentations and discussions of novel networking technologies that will shape the future of SDN. This year SOSR is once again co-located with the Open Networking Summit (ONS) and with attendees from each event having access to selected sessions in the other event. The Symposium will enable interaction among the academic and industrial attendees of these two events focused on research and development of SDN. This proposal requests funding to assist ten United States-based students to attend this conference. SOSR emphasizes interactions between networking researchers and industry practitioners at an international level, and attending SOSR presents an excellent opportunity for U.S. students to connect with the thriving international research community. New in this year, SOSR 2017 will include a demos and posters session, allowing students to present and obtain feedback on their work-in-progress. The support requested in this proposal will enable students to attend the main conference, the demos and posters sessions at SOSR 2017. These students would otherwise be unable to attend the conference. Intellectual Merit: This award provides travel support for US-based students to attend SOSR 2017 and the associated sessions. This program will expose students to new ideas and allow them to interact with other researchers. In particular, through exposure to a premier technical meeting in software-defined networking, co-located with the Open Networking Summit (ONS) and with attendees from one event having access to selected sessions in the other event. Students will have the opportunity to observe high-quality presentations and interact with senior researchers in the field, both in the main conference, the demos and posters, and the ONS sessions. Broader Impact: 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 sessions, and their inclusion will have a positive impact on the quality of their research. Women and other minorities will be especially encouraged to participate and are given selection priority. The SOSR conference has developed into a top-tier international conference, presenting a tremendous opportunity to students to expand their breadth of ideas, research skills, and technical perspective. This conference will prepare students to take their place as the backbone of the next generation of computer networks and communications researchers.
