NSF Travel Grant Support for IEEE Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC) 2009

IEEE COMPSAC2009将于2009年7月20日至7月24日在华盛顿州西雅图举行。这个卓越的技术会议是展示计算机系统和软件新研究成果的主要场所：理论和应用，以及一些主题为软件安全，信任，隐私的研讨会；互联网驱动信息服务的障碍，软件控制论，开放复杂系统-计算范式的元合成，并被该领域的研究人员和实践者广泛参加。参加像COMPSAC这样的会议对研究生的研究和职业发展至关重要。参与者有机会展示他们的工作，参加小组讨论和主题演讲，并与许多在该领域进行前沿研究的其他人进行互动。该提案要求资助大约12名美国研究生参加这次首演会议。旅行奖将针对研究生，特别是女性和代表性不足的少数民族学生，因为参加会议是他们教育经历的重要组成部分，而他们的旅行资金往往有限。

The IEEE COMPSAC2009 will be held in Seattle, Washington from July 20 to July 24, 2009. This preeminent technical conference is the primary venue for presenting new research results in the computer systems and software: theory and applications along with a numberof workshops with topics such as Security, Trust, Privacy for software; Barriers towards Internet-Driven Information Services, Software Cybernetics, Open Complex System - Metasynthesis of Computing Paradigms, and is widely attended by researchers andpractitioners in the field. Attending conferences such as COMPSAC is of paramountimportance for the research and career development of graduate students. Participantshave the opportunity to present their work, attend panel and keynote talk sessions, andinteract with many others performing leading-edge research in the field.This proposal requests funding to support approximately 12 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 conferencesis an important part of their educational experience, and they often have limited travel funds.
