NSF Travel Grant Support for IEEE INFOCOM 2007

2007年IEEE Infocom计算机通信大会将于2007年5月6日至12日在美国阿拉斯加州安克雷奇举行。这一卓越的技术会议是展示计算机通信领域新研究成果的主要场所，该领域的研究人员和从业者广泛参加。参加像Infocom这样的会议对研究生的发展至关重要。参与者有机会展示他们的工作，参加小组和主题会议，并与数百名其他在该领域进行前沿研究的人互动。更广泛的影响：这项提案要求提供资金，以支持大约16名美国研究生参加这次首发会议。旅行奖将面向研究生，特别是女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生，因为参加会议是他们教育经历的重要组成部分，而且他们的旅行资金往往有限。

The 2007 IEEE INFOCOM Conference on Computer Communications will be held in Anchorage, Alaska, USA from May 6 to May 12, 2007. This preeminent technical conference is the primary venue for presenting new research results in the area of computer communications, and is widely attended by researchers and practitioners in the field. Attending conferences such as INFOCOM is of paramount importance for the development of graduate students. Participants have the opportunity to present their work, attend panel and keynote sessions, and interact with hundreds of others performing leading-edge research in the field. Broader Impact: This proposal requests funding to support approximately sixteen graduate students in the United States to attend this premiere conference. The travel awards will target graduate students, in particular, women and under-represented minority students, since attending conferences is an important part of their educational experience, and they often have limited travel funds.
