NSF Student Travel Grant for 2018 ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM CCS)

该奖项为参加将于2018年10月15日至2018年10月19日在加拿大多伦多举行的第25届ACM(计算机械协会)计算机与通信安全(CCS)会议的学生提供差旅支持。本次大会是ACM安全、审计与控制特别兴趣小组(SIGSAC)的旗舰年度会议，汇聚了来自世界各地的信息安全研究人员、从业者、开发人员和用户，共同探讨前沿理念和成果。今天的学生是明天的领导者，为他们提供提高技能的机会是对更美好未来的直接投资。学生们受益于展示他们的研究并与该领域的知名研究人员建立网络的机会。会议组织者积极鼓励妇女和代表不足的少数群体参加CCS，旨在促进社区的多样性。ACM CCS促进计算机和通信安全领域的尖端研究成果和思想的快速和广泛传播。CCS通过举办几次技术会议、海报和演示会议、教程和研讨会来实现这一点。领先的研究人员每年都会被邀请参加主题演讲。研究人员还就该学科中一些最耐人寻味和最紧迫的挑战举办研讨会，并为这些领域的进一步工作开辟了道路。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides travel support for students attending the 25th ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS), to be held in Toronto, Canada from October 15, 2018 to October 19, 2018. This conference is the flag-ship annual conference of the Special Interest Group on Security, Audit and Control (SIGSAC) of the ACM, and brings together information security researchers, practitioners, developers, and users from all over the world to explore cutting-edge ideas and results. Today's students are tomorrow's leaders, and providing them with an opportunity to enhance their skill sets is a direct investment towards a better future. Students benefit from the opportunity to showcase their research and to network with established researchers in the area. The conference organizers actively encourage women and underrepresented minorities to attend CCS, aiming to foster diversity in the community.ACM CCS facilitates quick and wide dissemination of cutting-edge research results and ideas in computer and communication security. CCS achieves this by hosting several technical sessions, poster and demo sessions, tutorials, and workshops. Leading researchers are invited each year for keynote talks. Researchers also present seminars on some of the most intriguing and pressing challenges in the discipline and open up avenues for further work in these areas.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.
