NSF Student Travel Grant for 2017 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC) and Co-located BDCAT Conference

本提案申请“2017年IEEE/ACM公用事业和云计算国际会议（UCC）和同地IEEE/ACM大数据计算、应用和技术国际会议（BDCAT） NSF学生旅行资助”。会议经验对于培养本科生和研究生成为未来做好充分准备的计算力量至关重要。该提案旨在通过使无法参加UCC/BDCAT 2017会议的学生能够参加，激发学生进行前沿研究的热情，扩大他们的视野，并与该领域的顶级研究科学家和教授进行互动，从而帮助培养强大的计算机和计算科学未来劳动力。成功的参与可以激发学生对效用计算、云计算服务、高级分布式计算和大数据计算和应用程序（与学生通常感兴趣的Java和Web开发相反）的热情，并为国家培养未来的计算劳动力。

This proposal is request for "NSF Student Travel Grant for 2017 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC) and Co-located IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT)".Conference experience is critical for training undergraduate and graduate students to be well-prepared computing force in the future. This proposal aims to help develop the strong future workforce in computer and computational sciences by enabling students who would otherwise could not attend to participate in the UCC/BDCAT 2017 conference, stimulating students' enthusiasms in conducting cutting-edge research, and broadening their visions and interactions with top research scientists and professors in the field.A successful engagement can have an impact in stimulating students' enthusiasm about utility computing, Cloud computing services, advanced distributed computing, and big data computing and applications (in contrast to Java and Web developments students are normally interested) and training future computing workforce for the nation.
