Attendance to ICCCN is highly valuable for graduate students? research and career development. Student participants will have the opportunity to present their work, attend panel and keynote speech sessions, and interact with peers engaged in state-of-the-art research in the field.This proposal requests funding to support approximately 10-15 US-based graduate students to attend ICCCN?09.
