Travel Support for the 38th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 18)

该奖项旨在帮助美国的研究生参加在奥地利维也纳举行的第38届电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）分布式计算系统国际会议（ICDCS 2018）。参加ICDCS和类似的会议是研究生院经验的宝贵和重要的一部分。它为学生提供了与更高级的研究人员互动的机会，并使学生接触到这一重要研究领域的领先工作和实际行业实践。 该计划对分布式计算研究的影响的长期优点是众所周知的。会议将于7月2日至5日在奥地利维也纳举行，为期四天，将包括技术论文演示、小组讨论、行业演示、海报和演示。 它还将包括该领域主要研究人员和从业人员的主题演讲。 基金会将优先分配给无法参加会议的学生和尚未安排论文发表的学生，特别关注学生研究兴趣的多样性和相关性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力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 is to assist US-based graduate students to attend the 38th Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2018) in Vienna, Austria. Participation in ICDCS and similar conferences is a valuable and important part of the graduate school experience. It provides students with the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers, and exposes students to leading work and practical industry practices in this important area of research. The long-term merits of this program's impact on distributed computing research is well established. The conference will be held in Vienna, Austria, July 2-5, will span four days and will consist of technical paper presentations, panels, industry presentations, posters, and demonstrations. It will also feature keynote speeches from leading researchers and practitioners in the field. Funds will be dispersed with preference given to students who would not otherwise be able to attend the conference and students who are not already scheduled to present a paper, paying particular attention to diversity and relevance of the student's research interest.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.
