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

电气和电子工程师学会(IEEE)/国际信息处理联合会(IFIP)关于综合网络和服务管理(IM)的研讨会是网络和服务管理界的领先会议。IM 2019大会将于2019年4月8日至12日在美国华盛顿特区举行。这次会议汇集了学术界和工业界的研究人员和实践者，提供了一个多学科趋势引领论坛，探讨与世界各地的工业界、学术界、政府、企业和其他市场相关的最热门的信息和通信技术管理领域。参加像IM这样的会议对研究生的发展至关重要。在会议期间，学生们将有机会接触到网络和服务管理领域的前沿研究课题，并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参加IM 2019大会的旅行支持。旅游奖项将侧重于吸引首次参会的人和代表不足的少数族裔学生参加会议，因为参加会议是他们教育经历的重要组成部分，而且他们的旅行资金往往有限。研究界和技术人员受益于即将到来的学生的进步，以及通过引入新参与者进入研究领域而产生的新想法。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。

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.
