Travel: NSF Student Travel Grant for 2023 ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing (ACM/IEEE SEC)

该提案旨在为最多20名学生寻求旅行支持，以参加在得克萨斯州威尔明顿举行的2023年ACM/IEEE边缘计算研讨会(ACM/IEEE SEC)。这一领先的技术会议是展示边缘计算领域新研究成果的主要场所，边缘计算是一种新的范式，将小型数据中心的资源放置在互联网的边缘，非常接近移动设备、传感器和最终用户，以及新兴的物联网(IoT)。会议将包括技术论文演示、小组讨论、博士论坛、海报和演示。它还将以该领域领先研究人员和实践者的主题演讲为特色。参加SEC 2023和类似的会议是研究生院经验中有价值和重要的活动。它为学生提供了与更资深的研究人员互动的机会，并使学生接触到这一重要研究领域的领先工作和实际行业实践。这可能会对职业发展产生重要影响。该基金的目标是支持美国公认的高等教育机构的大约20名学生参与者。资金将优先分配给无法参加会议的学生和尚未安排发表论文的学生，特别注意学生研究兴趣的多样性和相关性。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。

The proposal is to seek travel support for up to 20 students to attend the 2023 ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing (ACM/IEEE SEC) in Wilmington, DE. This leading technical conference is the primary venue for presenting new research results in the area of "edge computing", a new paradigm in which the resources of a small data center are placed at the edge of the Internet, in close proximity to mobile devices, sensors, and end users, and the emerging Internet of Things(IoT). The conference will consist of technical paper presentations, panels, PhD forums, posters, and demonstrations. It will also feature keynote speeches from leading researchers and practitioners in the field.Participation in SEC 2023 and similar conferences are valuable and important activities of the graduate school experience. It provides students with the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers, and exposes students to leading work and practical industry practices in this important area of research. This may have an important impact on career development. The goal of the funds is to support approximately 20 student participants at recognized US institutions of higher education. Funds will be dispersed with preference given to students who would not otherwise be able to attend the conference and students who are not already scheduled to present a paper, paying particular attention to diversity and relevance of the student's research interest.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.
