NSF Student Travel Grant for 2017 ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM CCS)

ACM计算机与通信安全会议（CCS）是美国计算机协会（ACM）安全、审计与控制特别兴趣小组（SIGSAC）的旗舰年度会议。会议汇集了来自世界各地的信息安全研究人员和从业人员，探讨最前沿的想法，以确保国家的网络空间。从历史上看，CCS一直由学生研究人员参加，这对学生来说是一个不可低估的宝贵经验。从一开始，CCS就一直试图通过部分补贴入学费用来培养这一点，特别是对那些否则无法入学的人。不幸的是，学生申请的数量总是超过CCS可以提供的奖项数量。来自美国国家科学基金会的资助将大大有助于缩小这一差距。典型的奖励金额从500美元到1000美元不等。此外，女学生和其他少数群体的学生传统上在CCS中代表性不足。这笔资金将用于吸引少数民族成员。

The ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) is the flagship annual conference of the Special Interest Group on Security, Audit and Control (SIGSAC) of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The conference brings together information security researchers and practitioners from all over the world to explore cutting-edge ideas to secure the nation's cyberspace. Historically, CCS has been well attended by student researchers and this is a valuable experience for students that cannot be underestimated. CCS, from its inception, has always tried to nurture this by partially subsidizing the costs of attending especially for those who would otherwise be unable to attend.Unfortunately, the number of student applicants always exceeds the number of awards that CCS can make. Funding from the NSF will go a long way in narrowing that gap. Typical award amounts range from $500 to $1000. In addition, female students and students from other minority groups are traditionally underrepresented in CCS. This funding will be used to attract members of minority groups.
