Travel Support for the ACM/IEEE SEC 2017 Conference

2017年IEEE SEC会议（边缘计算研讨会）将于2017年10月12日至14日在加州圣何塞举行。这个卓越的技术会议是展示“边缘计算”领域新研究成果的主要场所，“边缘计算”是一种新的范式，在这种范式中，小型数据中心的资源被放置在互联网的边缘，靠近移动设备、传感器和最终用户，以及新兴的物联网。与会者将有机会展示他们的工作，参加小组讨论和主题会议，并与许多在该领域进行前沿研究的人进行互动。为了帮助提高学生的参与度，特别是在那些可能无法获得旅行资金的机构，该计划将支持20名学生。参加会议是研究生院经历的宝贵和重要组成部分，为学生提供了接触该领域高级研究人员和前沿工作的机会。

The 2017 IEEE SEC Conference (Symposium on Edge Computing) will be held in San Jose, CA on Oct. 12-14, 2017. This preeminent technical conference is the primary venue for presenting new research results in the area of "edge computing", a new paradigm in which the resources of a small data center are placed at the edge of the Internet, in close proximity to mobile devices, sensors, and end users, and the emerging Internet of Things. Participants will have the opportunity to present their work, attend panel and keynote sessions, and interact with many people conducting leading-edge research in the field. To help build student participation, particularly at institutions where travel funds may not otherwise be available, the plan is to support 20 students. Participation in conferences is a valuable and important part of the graduate school experience providing students' exposure to senior researchers and leading edge work in the field.
