Student Travel Support for the 2007 Internet Measurement Conference

由ACM SIGCOMM主办的互联网测量会议（IMC）将于2007年10月24日至26日在加州圣地亚哥举行。IMC是展示收集和分析互联网测量的新研究成果的主要场所。该奖项提供旅费援助，使研究生能够参加会议。参加像IMC这样的会议对于从事该领域研究的研究生来说是极其重要的。作者有机会展示他们的工作，所有与会者都有机会与许多在该领域进行前沿研究的其他人进行互动。智力优势：该提案将有助于扩大参加互联网测量会议的受众，提高互动水平和新合作、新调查和更高质量研究的潜力。更广泛的影响：该提案使学生能够参加会议，否则他们可能无法参加会议，这将增加会议研究成果向更广泛和更多样化的受众的传播。优先给予妇女和少数民族学生奖学金，将扩大这些代表性不足的群体的参与。此外，通过向广泛的学院和大学做广告，来自更多样化机构的参与者应该能够参加会议并从中受益。

The Internet Measurement Conference (IMC), sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM will be held in San Diego, California, October 24-26, 2007. IMC is the primary venue for presenting new research results on collecting and analyzing measurements of the Internet. This award provides travel assistance to enable graduate students to attend the conference. Attending conferences such as IMC is of extremely importance for graduate students pursuing research in the field. Authors have the opportunity to present their work and all attendees have a chance to interact with many others performing leading-edge research in the field. Intellectual Merit: This proposal will serve to widen the audience attending the Internet Measurement Conference, raising the level of interaction and the potential for new collaboration, new investigations, and higher quality research.Broader Impact: This proposal, by enabling students to attend who might not otherwise be able, will increase the dissemination of the conference's research results to a larger and more diverse audience. Giving preference in grant awards to women and minority students will widen the participation among these underrepresented groups. Furthermore, by advertising to a wide range of colleges and universities, participants from a more diverse set of institutions should be able to attend and benefit from the conference.
