This award provides support for 12-20 students from U.S.-based academic institutions to attend and participate in the 45th International Conference on Very Large, held in Los Angeles, California, USA, August 26-30, 2019. VLDB, started in 1975 and is the premier international database conference, held annually. Different countries ranging from China to India, Germany, Brazil and USA have hosted VLDB and the conference provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange and share results, providing tremendous opportunities for technological and entrepreneurial innovation. VLDB 2019 has a separate but equally prestigious research and industry tracks for the papers, more than ten timely workshops to co-locate with VLDB, and includes a Ph.D. workshop track that attracts students in their early career phase and allows the open discussion of their research ideas. The VLDB conference thus contributes directly to training the next generation of scientists who are both consumers and developers of technology in database management system design and implementation. The student support will have direct impact in creating a highly-qualified workforce who can take on the emerging data science challenges of the future.VLDB conference introduced numerous influential concepts such as "Big Data", "Data Science", and "Cloud" computing. For almost half a century and after an explosive growth in the computing industry, VLDB remains the home for the latest cutting-edge research and industrial innovation in the data arena. The aims of the conference are multi-fold: (1) provide an international forum for sharing research results related to the investigation of major challenges in next-generation database research; (2) stimulate interactive discussions on research in the database area through panels, posters, tutorials, student scholar roundtables, etc.; (3) to motivate and engage future generations of researchers via the many conference and workshop presentations, interactive poster sessions, and panel and breakout sessions. VLDB highly cited papers are published in The Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment (PVLDB).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.

该奖项为来自美国学术机构的 12 至 20 名学生提供支持，参加 2019 年 8 月 26 日至 30 日在美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶举行的第 45 届超大型国际会议。VLDB 始于 1975 年，是顶级国际数据库会议，每年举行一次。中国、印度、德国、巴西、美国等多个国家都主办了VLDB，会议为研究人员和从业者提供了交流和分享成果的论坛，为技术和创业创新提供了巨大的机会。 VLDB 2019 有一个独立但同样享有盛誉的论文研究和行业轨道，与 VLDB 同期举办的十多个及时研讨会，并包括一个博士学位。研讨会轨道吸引处于职业生涯早期阶段的学生，并允许公开讨论他们的研究想法。因此，VLDB 会议直接有助于培训下一代科学家，他们既是数据库管理系统设计和实施方面的技术消费者又是开发者。学生的支持将对培养一支能够应对未来新兴数据科学挑战的高素质劳动力产生直接影响。VLDB会议引入了许多有影响力的概念，如“大数据”、“数据科学”和“云”计算。近半个世纪以来，在计算行业爆炸性增长之后，VLDB 仍然是数据领域最新前沿研究和行业创新的发源地。 会议的目标是多方面的：（1）提供一个国际论坛，分享与调查下一代数据库研究的主要挑战相关的研究成果； （2）通过小组、海报、教程、学生学者圆桌会议等形式激发数据库领域研究的互动讨论； (3) 通过许多会议和研讨会演示、互动海报会议以及小组会议和分组会议来激励和吸引未来几代研究人员。 VLDB 被高引用的论文发表在 VLDB 捐赠会报 (PVLDB) 上。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。
