The 2019 SIGCOMM conference will take place from August 19 to August 23, 2019 in Beijing, China. This award provides funds to assist 20 US-based graduate students attend this conference. Participation in conferences such as SIGCOMM forms a central part of the graduate school experience as it provides students with an opportunity to interact with senior researchers from academia and industry and exposes them to leading-edge research in the field. ACM SIGCOMM stands unique in its emphasis on interactions between networking researchers at an international level. Attending SIGCOMM presents an excellent opportunity for US graduate students to connect with a thriving international research community. In 2014-2015, SIGCOMM added additional programming to enrich the student experience. A mentorship program has run in the past five years assigning junior students with more senior mentors at the conference. In 2015, the introduction of `preview sessions' gave students a chance to get briefed on topics prior to attending main session talks. The response to both has been extremely positive. Attending SIGCOMM will expose students to new ideas in emerging research areas and allow them to interact with other researchers thereby broadening their intellectual horizons. Support from this award enables students to attend the main conference and associated workshops at SIGCOMM 2019. The travel grant co-chairs are committed to the participation of women and under-represented minorities. Attending SIGCOMM 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. The proposed student participation will have a positive impact on the quality of their research. Women and other minorities are strongly encouraged to participate. The SIGCOMM 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.

2019年SIGCOMM大会将于2019年8月19日至8月23日在中国北京举行。该奖项提供资金，以帮助20名美国研究生参加这次会议。参加会议，如SIGCOMM形成了研究生院的经验的核心部分，因为它为学生提供了一个机会，与来自学术界和工业界的高级研究人员进行互动，并使他们接触到该领域的前沿研究。ACM SIGCOMM的独特之处在于它强调网络研究人员在国际层面上的互动。 参加SIGCOMM为美国研究生提供了一个与蓬勃发展的国际研究社区联系的绝佳机会。在2014-2015年，SIGCOMM增加了额外的编程，以丰富学生的体验。在过去的五年里，一个导师项目一直在运行，在会议上为低年级学生分配更多的高级导师。2015年，推出了“预览会议”，使学生有机会在参加主要会议的会谈之前了解有关主题的情况。对这两个问题的反应都非常积极。参加SIGCOMM将使学生接触到新兴研究领域的新思想，并允许他们与其他研究人员互动，从而拓宽他们的知识视野。该奖项的支持使学生能够参加SIGCOMM 2019的主要会议和相关研讨会。旅费赠款共同主席致力于妇女和代表性不足的少数群体的参与。 参加SIGCOMM通过接触到计算机网络和通信的首要技术会议整合了学生的研究和教育。学生将有机会在主会议和相关研讨会上观察高质量的演讲，并与该领域的高级研究人员进行互动。建议的学生参与将对他们的研究质量产生积极影响。大力鼓励妇女和其他少数群体参与。SIGCOMM会议已经发展成为一个顶级的国际会议，为学生提供了一个巨大的机会，以扩大他们的思想，研究技能和技术视角的广度。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。
