Travel Support for the 22nd ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP 2009)

第二十二届ACM操作系统原理研讨会将于2009年10月11日至14日在蒙大拿州的Big Sky举行。30多年来，SOSP一直是操作系统创新研究的领先论坛。与前几届一样，SOSP 2009将汇集来自世界各地的研究人员，介绍和讨论最新的成果。除了内核、文件系统和网络的性能、功能和安全等传统主题外，今年的会议还将越来越多地关注泛在和移动计算、传感器网络、覆盖和对等通信以及电源管理等新兴主题。特别值得注意的论文将被转发到ACM计算机系统会刊，以供可能的期刊发表。还将有海报和进行中的会议，展示有希望的初步工作。这项提案要求资金支持20名美国研究生的出席。参加领先的会议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和接触前沿工作的机会。这项提案所要求的支持将使原本无法参加的学生能够参加。将特别注意向代表性不足的少数群体提供支持，包括妇女、非裔美国人和美洲原住民。

The Twenty-Second ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles will be held in Big Sky, Montana on October 11-14, 2009. For over 30 years SOSP has been the leading forum for innovative research in operating systems. Like its predecessors, SOSP 2009 will bring together researchers from around the world to present and discuss the latest results. In addition to such traditional topics as the performance, functionality, and security of kernels, file systems, and networks, this year's conference will place increasing attention on such emerging topics as ubiquitous and mobile computing, sensor networks, overlay and peer-to-peer communications, and power management. Particularly noteworthy papers will be forwarded to ACM Transactions on Computer Systems for possible journal publication. There will also be poster and work-in-progress sessions for the presentation of promising preliminary work.This proposal requests funding to support the attendance of 20 US-based graduate students. Participation in leading conferences 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. The support requested in this proposal will make possible the participation of students who would otherwise be unable to attend. Particular attention will be paid to directing support towards underrepresented minorities including women, African-Americans, and Native Americans.
