Support of the Doctoral Symposium at the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC)

云计算和自主计算的研究跨越了各个领域，从分布式系统，计算机架构，中间件服务，数据库和数据存储，网络，机器学习和控制理论。第五届自主计算国际会议（ICAC）的目的是将这些学科的研究人员和从业人员聚集在一起，以解决云计算和自主计算的多个方面。廉政公署将于会议期间举办一个博士研讨会。博士研讨会旨在让参加研讨会的学生参与互动，为他们提供研究和职业指导的机会。这样的会议对博士学位的总体影响。学生，无论是在学习的早期还是后期，都可能是重要的。博士研讨会上的研究报告将公开发表。因此，本研究项目符合NSF的使命--促进科学进步，促进国民健康、繁荣和福利，或保障国防的国家利益。为了使学生能够与其他研究人员加强交流，将邀请来自产业界和学术界的专家参加研讨会项目，并/或在ICAC博士研讨会上发表主题演讲。博士研讨会的主要目标是：（1）为研究生提供一个展示他们的研究成果并获得该领域专家反馈的场所;（2）让博士研究生能够在学术上进行交流。学生在主要会议上介绍他们的工作？的海报会议;和（3）导师的博士生提供职业建议，从行业代表以及学术界。此外，廉政公署博士研讨会将有一个特别会议，专门讨论博士的职业指导。学生出席。廉政公署组织委员会了解博士背景的多样性。参加会议的学生--有些人将进入工业界，有些人将进入学术界。因此，职业指导课程将允许学生倾听并与这两个领域的专家互动。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。

Research in cloud and autonomic computing spans a variety of areas, from distributed systems, computer architecture, middleware services, databases and data-stores, networks, machine learning, and control theory. The purpose of the Fifth International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC) is to bring together researchers and practitioners across these disciplines to address the multiple facets of cloud and autonomic computing. ICAC is holding a doctoral symposium during the conference. The doctoral symposium is meant to engage students attending the symposium with interactions that provide them with research and career mentoring opportunities. The overall impact that such a meeting can have on Ph.D. students, both early and late in their studies, can be significant. The research presentations at the Doctoral Symposium will be made publicly. This project, thus, serves the national interest, as stated by NSF's mission: to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; or to secure the national defense.To enable students to increase their interactions with other researchers, experts from both industry and academia will be invited to participate in the symposium program and/or deliver keynote talks at the ICAC doctoral symposium. The primary objectives of the doctoral symposium are to (1) provide a venue for graduate students to present their research and obtain feedback from experts in the area; (2) allow Ph.D. students to present their work at the main conference?s poster session; and (3) mentor the PhD students by providing career advice from representatives in industry as well as academia. Furthermore, the ICCAC doctoral symposium will have a special session devoted to career mentoring for Ph.D. students in attendance. The ICAC organization committee understands the diversity in the background of the Ph.D. students that attend the conference - while some will go into industry there will be those who go into academia. Therefore, the career mentoring session will allow students to listen and interact with experts in both 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.
