Travel: NSF Student Travel Grant for IFIP WG 7.3 Performance 2023

第41届计算机性能、建模、测量和评估国际研讨会(IFIP WG 7.3 Performance 2023)汇聚了计算机科学和应用概率交叉领域的研究人员，目的是通过最先进的量化模型和解决方案技术来了解和改进计算和通信系统的性能。吸引了来自世界各地的学者，这个有选择的、单轨道的会议系列以计算系统性能评估的前沿研究为特色。会议还包括几个半天和全天的研讨会，深入讨论数学建模和性能分析、网络学习和优化、区块链、云计算以及交通、能源和服务系统中的应用等主题。这笔学生旅行津贴将完全支持约25名学生出席会议(机票/地面交通、住宿和注册)，可能分享他们自己的研究成果，并与该领域的领先研究人员互动。指导是表演会议的核心宗旨，与会者将有几个专门的机会与社区的高级成员见面和互动。为了扩大对计算机的参与，将从当地和全国范围内代表性不足的群体中招募学生参与者，并将部分资金专门用于这一倡议。此外，这项资助还为参加2023年表演的学生提供了相互认识的机会，在早期阶段培养了一个可以在他们的职业生涯中受益的同龄人群体。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。

The 41st International Symposium on Computer Performance, Modeling, Measurements and Evaluation (IFIP WG 7.3 Performance 2023) brings together researchers at the intersection of computer science and applied probability, with the aim to understand and improve the performance of computing and communication systems by means of state-of-the-art quantitative models and solution techniques. Attracting scholars from around the world, this selective, single-track conference series features cutting-edge research on the performance evaluation of computing systems. The conference also includes several half- and full-day workshops for in-depth coverage of topics such as mathematical modelling and performance analysis, learning and optimization in networks, blockchain, cloud computing, and applications in transport, energy and service systems.This student travel grant will fully support approximately 25 students’ attendance (airfare/ground transportation, lodging, and registration) to participate in the conference, potentially share their own research, and interact with leading researchers in the field. Mentoring is a core tenet of the Performance conference, and attendees will have several dedicated opportunities to meet and interact with senior members of the community. In the goal to broaden participation in computing, student attendees will be recruited from under-represented groups both locally and across the country, and there are portions of the funding dedicated to this initiative. Furthermore, this funding support also offers student attendees of Performance 2023 the opportunity to meet one another, fostering a peer group at an early stage that can benefit them throughout their careers.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.
