Student Support for the 44th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB 2018)

该奖项将支持14名美国研究生参加2018年8月27日至31日在巴西里约热内卢举行的第44届超大型数据库国际会议（VLDB 2018） （http://vldb2018.lncc.br/）。超大型数据库国际会议（VLDB）是一个重要的国际年度技术活动，它汇集了以数据库研究和实践的各个方面为中心的技术研究论文、教程和研讨会。VLDB系列为来自学术界、工业界和政府机构的研究人员和实践者提供了一个极好的机会来分享他们在数据管理和分析的各个方面的研究和经验。VLDB的目标是使下一代学生和研究人员能够确定构建能够更有效地工作的大规模数据库管理系统的科学基础。会议的目的是多方面的：(1)提供一个国际论坛，分享与下一代数据库研究主要挑战调查相关的研究成果；(2)通过专题讨论、海报、辅导课、学生学者圆桌会议等形式，促进对数据库领域研究的互动讨论；(3)通过许多会议和研讨会演讲、互动海报会议、小组讨论和分组会议，激励和吸引未来几代研究人员。这次会议将直接有助于培训下一代科学家，他们既是数据库管理系统设计和实施方面技术的消费者，也是技术的开发人员。将努力使多样化的学生参与进来，以便扩大来自代表性不足群体的研究人员的参与。学生的支持将对培养高素质的劳动力产生直接影响，这些劳动力可以应对未来新兴的数据科学挑战。云计算的日益普及、用户创建大型数据集的能力以及数据科学的新兴领域都将数据库研究置于计算机科学的前沿。数据库研究是数据驱动的科学和技术新方法的一个组成部分，通过引领新的科学发现和改变我们日常生活中使用的工程系统的游戏规则改进，它将彻底改变社会的几乎所有方面。数据库研究深刻地影响着健康科学、物联网、面向服务的计算、实时业务分析和社会计算等领域。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。

This award will support 14 U.S.-based graduate students to attend and participate in the 44th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB 2018) to be held in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil from August 27-31, 2018 (http://vldb2018.lncc.br/). The International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB) is a premier international annual technical event that brings together technical research papers, tutorials, and workshops centered on various aspects of database research and practice. VLDB series provides researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government agencies with an excellent opportunity to share their research and experiences on all aspects of data management and analyses at scale. VLDB has a goal to enable the next generation of students and researchers to identify scientific foundations for building large-scale database management systems that can work ever more effectively. The aims of the conference are multi-fold: (1) to provide an international forum for sharing research results related to the investigation of major challenges in next-generation database research; (2) to stimulate interactive discussions on research in the database area through panels, posters, tutorials, student scholar roundtables, etc.; and (3) to motivate and engage future generations of researchers via the many conference and workshop presentations, interactive poster sessions, and panel and breakout sessions. The conference will contribute directly to training the next generation of scientists who are both consumers and developers of technology in database management system design and implementation. Efforts will be made to engage a diverse body of students in order to broaden the participation of researchers from underrepresented groups. The student support will have direct impact in creating a highly-qualified workforce who can take on the emerging data science challenges of the future. The rising use of cloud computing, the ability for users to create very large datasets, and the emerging field of data science have placed database research at the forefront of Computer Science. Database research is an integral component of a new approach to data-driven science and technology that stands to revolutionize almost all aspects of society by leading to new scientific discoveries and game-changing improvements to engineered systems that we use in our daily lives. Database research profoundly influences domains that include health sciences, the emerging field of IoT, service-oriented computing, real-time business analytics, and social computing. The VLDB 2018 Proceedings are will be broadly accessible at The Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment (http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/).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.
