Student Travel Support for ACM HotNets-III Workshop; October 15-16, 2004; San Diego, CA

第三次网络热点问题研讨会(HotNets-III)于2004年10月15日至16日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行，目的是聚集网络和分布式系统社区的研究人员，讨论新出现的研究方向。这个研讨会促进了社区范围内对尚未成熟的想法的讨论，期望(1)这将影响和促进社区正在进行的研究，(2)许多HotNets的立场文件将成长为SIGCOMM或其他高质量会议接受的文件。这笔资金用于资助10名美国研究生参加本次会议。参加这样的研讨会是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分，提供了与更多资深研究人员互动的机会，并接触到该领域的前沿工作。所提供的支持使原本无法参加HotNets-III的学生得以参与。

The goal of the Third Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks (HotNets-III), being held in San Diego, California on 15-16 October 2004, is to bring together researchers in the networking and distributed systems community to debate emerging research directions. This workshop promotes community-wide discussion of ideas that are not yet mature, with the expectations that (1) this will influence and foster ongoing research in the community, and (2) many of the HotNets position papers will grow into papers accepted at SIGCOMM or other quality conferences. This grant provides funding to assist 10 US-based graduate students in attending this meeting. Participation in workshops like this is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, providing the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and to be exposed to leading edge work in the field. The support provided enables the participation of students who would otherwise be unable to attend HotNets-III.
