The 18th ACM SIGCOMM Internet Measurement Conference (IMC), sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM will be held in Boston, MA October 31 - November 2, 2018. This award assists 12-15 graduate students from US institutions to attend this conference. IMC is the primary venue for presenting new research results on collecting and analyzing measurements of the Internet. Attending conferences such as IMC is of paramount importance for graduate students pursuing research in the field. Authors have the opportunity to present their work and all attendees have a chance to interact with many others performing leading-edge research in the field.This proposal will serve to widen the audience attending the Internet Measurement Conference (IMC), raising the level of interaction and the potential for new collaboration, new investigations, and higher quality research. Given the rising cost of travel, the grant will enable students, who otherwise do not have sufficient funds, to attend the conference.This proposal, by enabling students to attend who might not otherwise be able, will increase the dissemination of the conference's research results to a larger and more diverse audience. It also integrates research and education of graduate students by allowing students to observe high-quality presentations and interact with senior researchers in the field. By giving preference in grant awards to women and minority students, the awardees hope to widen the participation among these underrepresented groups. Furthermore, by advertising to a wide range of colleges and universities, participants from a more diverse set of institutions should be able to attend and benefit from the conference.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.

由ACM SIGCOMM主办的第18届ACM SIGCOMM互联网测量会议（IMC）将于2018年10月31日至11月2日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行。本奖学金资助12-15名来自美国院校的研究生参加本次会议。IMC是展示收集和分析互联网测量的新研究成果的主要场所。参加像IMC这样的会议对于从事该领域研究的研究生来说是至关重要的。作者有机会展示他们的工作，所有与会者都有机会与许多在该领域进行前沿研究的其他人进行互动。这一提议将有助于扩大参加互联网测量会议（IMC）的受众，提高互动水平，并有可能开展新的合作、新的调查和更高质量的研究。鉴于旅行费用的上涨，这笔补助金将使那些本来没有足够资金的学生能够参加会议。这项建议使本来可能无法参加会议的学生也能参加，将使会议的研究成果更多地传播给更广泛和更多样化的听众。它还通过让学生观察高质量的演讲并与该领域的高级研究人员互动，将研究生的研究和教育结合起来。通过优先奖励女性和少数族裔学生，获奖者希望扩大这些代表性不足的群体的参与。此外，通过向广泛的学院和大学做广告，来自更多样化机构的参与者应该能够参加会议并从中受益。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
