The 13th International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies CoNEXT) will take place from December 12 to December 15, 2017 in Seoul, Korea. This proposal requests funding to assist 15 US-based graduate students for attending this conference. Participation in conferences such as CoNEXT forms a central part of the graduate school experience as it provides students with an opportunity to interact with senior researchers from academia as well as industry and exposes them to leading-edge research in the field. ACM CoNEXT stands unique in its emphasis on interactions between networking researchers at an international level, and attending CoNEXT presents an excellent opportunity for US graduate students to connect with a thriving international research community. As in past years, CoNEXT 2017 will include a special student workshop that will enable 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 and associated workshops at CoNEXT 2017. These students would otherwise be unable to attend the conference. The travel grant chair is committed to encouraging the participation of women and under-represented minorities. This project proposes to provide travel support for graduate students to attend CoNEXT 2017 and the associated workshops, which will include the student workshop, among others to be determined. This program will expose students to new ideas in these emerging areas, and allow them to interact with other researchers thereby broadening their intellectual horizons. In particular, the student workshop focuses on providing students an opportunity to present their work in progress, receive feedback on their work, and obtain valuable experience in writing and presenting technical papers. 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. The proposed student participation will have a positive impact on the quality of their research. Women and other minorities are encouraged to participate. The CoNEXT 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.

第13届新兴网络实验和技术国际会议将于2017年12月12日至12月15日在韩国首尔举行。该提案要求资助15名美国研究生参加这次会议。参加会议，如CONEXT形成了研究生院的经验的核心部分，因为它为学生提供了一个机会，从学术界和工业界的高级研究人员进行互动，并暴露他们在该领域的前沿研究。ACM CoNEXT的独特之处在于它强调网络研究人员在国际层面上的互动，参加CoNEXT为美国研究生提供了一个与蓬勃发展的国际研究社区建立联系的绝佳机会。与往年一样，CONEXT 2017将包括一个特殊的学生研讨会，使学生能够展示并获得对他们正在进行的工作的反馈。本提案中要求的支持将使学生能够参加2017年CONEXT的主要会议和相关研讨会。否则这些学生就不能参加会议。旅费赠款主席致力于鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数群体参与。该项目建议为研究生提供旅行支持，以参加CONEXT 2017和相关的研讨会，其中包括学生研讨会等。该计划将使学生接触到这些新兴领域的新思想，并允许他们与其他研究人员互动，从而拓宽他们的知识视野。特别是，学生研讨会的重点是为学生提供一个机会，介绍他们正在进行的工作，收到他们的工作反馈，并获得宝贵的经验，撰写和提交技术论文。该项目通过参加计算机网络和通信领域的重要技术会议，整合了学生的研究和教育。学生将有机会在主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进行互动。建议的学生参与将对他们的研究质量产生积极影响。鼓励妇女和其他少数群体参与。CoNEXT会议已经发展成为一个顶级的国际会议，为学生提供了一个巨大的机会，以扩大他们的思想，研究技能和技术视角的广度。
