NSF Student Travel Grant for the 2018 International Conference on Emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT)

第14届新兴网络实验与技术国际会议(CONEXT)将于2018年12月4日至7日在希腊伊拉克利翁举行。该奖项帮助12名美国研究生参加本次会议。参加CONEXT这样的会议是研究生院经历的核心部分，因为它为学生提供了与更资深的研究人员互动的机会，并使他们接触到该领域的前沿研究。ACM Conext强调网络研究人员在国际层面上的互动，参加Conext为美国研究生提供了一个与蓬勃发展的国际研究社区建立联系的绝佳机会。与往年一样，Conext 2018将包括一个特别的学生研讨会，使学生能够展示并获得对他们正在进行的工作的反馈。该奖项使学生能够参加主会议和相关的Conext 2018研讨会，其中包括“首届5G(EM-5G)实验和测量国际研讨会”和“Quic(EPIQ)研讨会的演进、性能和互操作性”。这个项目将让学生接触到新的想法，并允许他们与其他研究人员互动。否则这些学生就不能参加会议了。旅行补助金主席致力于妇女和代表不足的少数群体的参与。该项目通过参加计算机网络和通信方面的主要技术会议，将学生的研究和教育结合在一起。学生将有机会在主要会议和相关研讨会上观看高质量的演讲，并与该领域的资深研究人员互动。特别是，学生工作坊的重点是为学生提供机会，介绍他们正在进行的工作，接受对他们工作的反馈，并在撰写和提交技术论文方面获得宝贵的经验，从而对他们的研究质量产生积极影响。CONEXT会议已经发展成为一个顶级的国际会议，为学生提供了一个极大的机会来扩大他们的思想广度、研究技能和技术视角。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。

The 14th International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT) will take place from December 4 to December 7, 2018 in Heraklion, Greece. This award assists 12 US-based graduate students to attend this conference. Participation in conferences such as CoNEXT forms a central part of the graduate school experience as it provides students with an opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and exposes them to leading-edge research in the field. ACM CoNEXT emphasizes interactions among networking researchers at an international level, and attending CoNEXT presents an excellent opportunity for US graduate students to connect with a thriving international research community. As in past years, CoNEXT 2018 will include a special student workshop that will enable students to present and obtain feedback on their work in progress. This award enables students to attend the main conference and associated CoNEXT 2018 workshops, which include the "First International Workshop on Experimentation and Measurements in 5G (EM-5G)", and the "Evolution, Performance, and Interoperability of QUIC (EPIQ) Workshop". This program will expose students to new ideas, and allow them to interact with other researchers. These students would otherwise be unable to attend the conference. The travel grant chair is committed to the participation of women and underrepresented minorities.This project integrates research and education of students through exposure to a premier technical meeting in computer networks and communications. Students will have the opportunity to observe high-quality presentations and interact with senior researchers in the field both in the main conference and the associated workshops. In particular, the student workshop focuses on providing students an opportunity to present their work in progress, receive feedback on their work, and obtain valuable experience in writing and presenting technical papers thus having a positive impact on the quality of their research. The CoNEXT conference has developed into a top-tier international conference, presenting a tremendous opportunity to students to expand their breadth of ideas, research skills, and technical perspective.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.
