NSF Student Travel Grant for 2019 ACM Symposium of Operating Systems Principles (SOSP)

本提案旨在支持学生参加2019年10月27日至30日举行的第27届ACM操作系统原理研讨会(SOSP 2019)。50多年来，SOSP一直是操作系统创新研究的领先论坛。延续SOSP的传统，SOSP 2019将汇聚该领域的顶尖研究人员和杰出人士，并将展示计算机系统领域最优秀和最聪明的博士生。与会者介绍和讨论了他们的研究和经验，涵盖了全面的理论和实践。SOSP和这笔旅行补助金的目标是通过将来自计算机系统社区的研究人员聚集在一起来推动科学发展--包括分布式系统、操作系统和广泛的计算机系统--以促进跨学科方法和解决共同的研究挑战。这种跨学科的强调使它非常适合作为学生参与的目标。这笔旅行补助金支持至少12名美国研究生和本科生的入学。参加领先的会议是研究生和高级本科生校际经验的一个极其重要的组成部分，提供了与更多资深研究人员互动和接触前沿工作的机会。这一奖项提供了扩大参与的具体机会。资金将优先分配给无法参加会议的学生，特别注意多样性。这一奖项反映了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。

This proposal is for support of student travel to the 27th ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP 2019), Oct. 27-30, 2019. For over 50 years, SOSP has been a leading forum for innovative research in operating systems. Continuing in the SOSP tradition, SOSP 2019 will bring together leading researchers and luminaries in the field and will feature the best and brightest of the PhD candidates in computer systems. Participants present and discuss their research and experience and cover the full range of theory and practice. The goal of SOSP and this travel grant is to advance science by bringing together researchers from across the computer systems community - including distributed systems, operating systems, and broad computer systems - to foster cross disciplinary approaches and to address shared research challenges. This cross-disciplinary emphasis makes it well suited as a target for student participation. This travel grant support the attendance of at least 12 US-based graduate and undergraduate students. Participation in leading conferences is an extremely important part of graduate students and advanced undergraduate students - school experience, providing the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and to be exposed to leading edge work. This award provides a concrete opportunity to broaden participation. Funds will be dispersed with preference given to students who would not otherwise be able to attend the conference, paying particular attention to diversity.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.
