Student Support: IEEE Cluster 2018 Conference

重要的是，STEM社区通过参与顶级科学会议来识别和培养下一代科学家。IEEE集群会议系列，一个国际性的事件，提出的研究成果，问题的解决方案，并在一般的高性能计算，特别是集群计算的新挑战的见解，一直在追求这一使命，寻求增加学生参与会议和集群计算领域。为此，在集群会议的学生计划已经建立，为学生提供一个全面的手段，以提高他们的整体研究技能和规划，而不仅仅是提出海报和论文。通过参加学生计划，学生现在可以获得独特的经验，并与集群计算社区的学术和行业研究人员进行互动。通过IEEE集群学生计划对研究的整体接触促进了对科学方法的基本理解，这将在学生的整个职业生涯中很好地为他们服务，并与NSF保持一致。该奖项支持来自美国机构的最多20名学生参加IEEE Cluster 2018的学生计划。IEEE Cluster 2018的学生课程包括在午休期间和常规课程结束后安排的多个课程。会议的目标是研究报告培训，研究经验和职业指导，行业互动，以及最佳论文候选人的反馈。旅行赠款特别鼓励研究兴趣和参与该领域的学生，他们没有足够的资金和那些刚刚开始参与该领域或有兴趣进入该领域的学生。代表各社区，与全国少数民族研究生学位联盟成员大学计算机科学和工程系的研究生课程联系该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

It is important that the STEM community identifies and develops the next generation of scientists through engagement in premier scientific conferences. The IEEE Cluster conference series, an international event for presenting the research results, problem solutions, and insights on new challenges in high performance computing in general and cluster computing in particular, has beenpursuing this mission by seeking to increase student participation in the conference and the cluster computing field. To this end, the student program at the Cluster conference has been established to provide a comprehensive means for students to improve their overall research skills and planning rather than just presenting posters and papers. By attending the student program, students can now obtain unique experiences and interactions with academic and industry researchers in the cluster computing community. The overall exposure to research through the IEEE Cluster student program promotes foundational understanding of scientific methods, which will serve the students well throughout their careers, and is aligned with NSF?s mission of promoting progress of science.This award supports the travel of up to 20 students from US-based institutions to participate in the student program at IEEE Cluster 2018. The student program at IEEE Cluster 2018 includes multiple sessions scheduled during the lunch breaks and after the end of the regular sessions. The sessions target research presentation training, research experience and career guidance, industry interaction, and feedback from the best paper candidates. Travel grants particularly encourage the research interests and the involvement of students in the field who are not well funded and those who are just beginning their participation in the field or are interested in entering it.Particular effort is made to solicit applications for the travel support from female students and students from under-represented communities by reaching out to graduate programs of computer science and engineering departments at universities who are members of the National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities in Engineering and Science.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
