Student Travel Support for the 50th International Conference on Very Large Databases 2024

该项目将为学生参加将在中国广州举行的第50届超大型数据库国际会议（VLDB 2024）提供国家科学基金会支持。这笔资助将专门用于美国院校的学生，并将使获得资助的学生能够前往广州参加会议及其相关研讨会。这笔资金将用于支付学生的注册费、交通费和住宿费。这项资助将为许多学生提供丰富人生的第一次体验，让他们体验全球学术界和工业界的研究环境。VLDB是数据库领域的顶级会议，汇集了以数据库研究和实践的各个方面为中心的技术研究论文、教程和研讨会。参加这次会议将使学生能够加强他们的科学基础和建立他们的专业网络，从而直接有助于培养下一代科学家，他们既是数据库管理系统设计和实施方面的技术消费者，也是技术开发者。这笔拨款将对培养高素质的劳动力产生直接影响，这些劳动力可以应对未来新兴的数据科学挑战。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project will provide NSF support for students to attend and participate in the 50th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB 2024) to be held in Guangzhou, China. The grant will be used exclusively for students in US-based institutions, and it will enable the supported students to travel to Guangzhou to participate in the conference and its associated workshops. The funding will defray the registration, travel, and lodging costs for the students.This grant will enable a life-enriching first-time experience for many students, giving them a taste of the research environment in both academic and industrial circles worldwide. VLDB is a premier conference in the area of databases that brings together technical research papers, tutorials, and workshops centered on various aspects of database research and practice. Participation in this conference will enable the students to enhance their scientific foundation and build their professional networks, and thus contribute directly to training the next generation of scientists who are both consumers and developers of technology in database management system design and implementation. The grant will have a direct impact in creating a highly qualified workforce who can take on the emerging data science challenges of the future.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.
