Student Travel Support for SIGMETRICS 2009

ACM SIGMETRICS/PERFORMANCE 2009大会将于2009年6月15日至19日在华盛顿州西雅图举行。SIGMETRICS汇集了150多名来自学术和工业背景的专业人士，成为讨论最先进、广泛适用的分析、模拟和基于测量的绩效评估技术的开发和应用的主要论坛。除了Sigmetrics 2009，还组织了几个研讨会和学生活动，包括：？学生论文小组，为学生提供一个现场论坛，以促进和获得对他们工作的反馈，交流研究经验，并与知名研究人员互动，？在现场互动论坛中交流研究想法的演示比赛，以及？工业信息会议将为学生提供一个交流渠道，与工业研究人员互动，并了解更多关于他们的尖端工作。这项提案要求资助6名美国研究生的会议注册和旅行相关费用。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。智力优势：Sigmetrics会议既强调创新研究，也强调量化或启发性的经验。SIGMETRICS 2009旨在展示与性能的所有方面相关的创新、令人兴奋的工作，包括速度和可扩展性以及系统的可靠性、可用性和可管理性。特别鼓励具有高度原创性的想法、新方法和/或开创性成果的贡献。还将有一个展示有希望的初步工作的海报会议。广泛的影响：这项提案中要求的支持将使原本无法参加的学生参与成为可能。将特别注意向代表性不足的少数群体提供支助，包括妇女、非裔美国人、西班牙裔、美洲原住民和太平洋土著岛民。这项支持将为参加活动的学生提供与不同性别、种族和背景的导师和同龄人互动的机会。

The ACM SIGMETRICS/Performance 2009 Conference will be held in Seattle, WA, from June 15-19, 2009. Sigmetrics brings together 150 or more professionals from academic and industrial backgrounds in what has become a premier forum for discussing the development and application of state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic, simulation, and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. There are several workshops and student activities also being organized along with Sigmetrics 2009 including:? Student Thesis Panel that provides a live forum for students to promote and get feedback on their work, exchange research experiences, and interact with established researchers,? Demo Competition to communicate research ideas in a live, interactive forum, and? Industrial Information Session that would provide students a communication channel to interact with industrial researchers and learn more about their cutting-edge work. This proposal requests funding to support the conference registration and travel-related costs of 6 graduate students from the U.S. 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.Intellectual Merit: The Sigmetrics conference emphasizes both innovative research and quantified or illuminating experience. Sigmetrics 2009 seeks to present innovative, exciting work related to all aspects of performance, including speed and scalability as well as reliability, availability, andmanageability of systems. Contributions containing highly original ideas, new approaches, and/or groundbreaking results are particularly encouraged. There will also be a poster session for the presentation of promising preliminary work.Broader Impact: 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 under-represented minorities including women, African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Native Pacific Islanders. The support will provide students who attendwith the opportunity to interact with mentors and peers of varying sex, ethnicity and background.
