NSF Student Travel Grant for 2019 IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM'19)

电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）/国际信息处理联合会（IFIP）关于集成网络和服务管理（IM）的研讨会是网络和服务管理界的领先会议。IM 2019会议将于2019年4月8日至12日在美国华盛顿DC举行。 该会议汇集了来自学术界和工业界的研究人员和从业人员，提供了一个多学科的引领潮流的论坛，以探索与世界各地的工业，学术界，政府，企业和其他细分市场相关的信息和通信技术管理的最热门领域。参加IM等会议对研究生的发展至关重要。学生将有机会接触网络和服务管理领域的前沿研究课题，并在会议期间与其他研究人员建立合作关系。更广泛的影响：该项目为美国的高中生，本科生或研究生提供旅行支持，以参加IM 2019会议。旅行奖将侧重于吸引首次与会者和代表性不足的少数民族学生参加会议，因为参加会议是他们教育经历的重要组成部分，他们的旅行资金往往有限。研究团体和技术人员受益于学生在管道中的改进，并通过引入新的参与者进入研究领域产生新的想法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)/International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Symposium on Integrated Network and Service Management (IM) is a leading conference in network and service management community. The IM 2019 conference will be held April 8-12, 2019 in Washington DC, USA. The conference brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry which provides a multidisciplinary trend-setting forum to explore the hottest areas of information and communications technology management related to industry, academia, government, enterprise and other market segments from around the world. Attending conferences such as IM is of paramount importance for the development of graduate students. Students will have the opportunity to touch frontier research topics in the area of network and service management and establish collaboration relationships with other researchers during the conference. Broader Impact: This project provides travel support for high school, undergrad or graduate students in the United States to attend the IM 2019 conference. The travel awards will focus on bringing in first-time attendees and under-represented minority students into the conference, since attending conferences is an important part of their educational experience, and they often have limited travel funds. The research community and the technical workforce benefit from the improvement of students in the pipeline, and new ideas generated through introducing new participants into the research field.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.
