Student Travel Support for CoNEXT 2009 Conference

该旅行奖励支持参加2009年12月1日至4日在意大利罗马举行的ACM SIGCOMM第四届新兴网络实验和技术国际会议（CoNEXT）。该技术会议讨论了一系列重要的网络问题，包括：互联网测量和建模，无线网络，移动的和蜂窝网络，自组织和传感器网络，互联网的经济方面，网络安全问题、数据中心网络、对等和覆盖网络、路由和流量工程、延迟和中断容忍网络以及新的网络协议和架构。与CoNEXT 2009同地举行的互联网重新架构研讨会特别令人感兴趣，因为它涉及将塑造互联网未来的新型网络技术的重要领域。因此，参加CONEXT为来自美国学术机构的研究生提供了宝贵的研究和职业发展经验。与会者有机会介绍他们的工作和技术会议，以及与从事该领域最先进研究的同行互动。具有特殊意义的是，会议提供了一个学生研讨会，使学生能够提出并获得对他们正在进行的工作的反馈。大约有7到10名美国研究生有机会参加CoNEXT。旅行奖将针对研究生，特别是女生和代表人数不足的少数民族学生，因为他们参加会议的旅费往往有限;参加这类活动是他们教育经历的一个重要部分。

This travel award supports participation in the ACM SIGCOMM 4th International Conference on emerging Networking Experiments and Technologies (CoNEXT) held between December 1-4, 2009 at Rome, Italy.This technical conference addresses a range of important networking issues, including: internet measurement and modeling, wireless networks, mobile and cellular networks, ad hoc and sensors networks, economic aspects of the internet, network security issues, data center networks, peer-to-peer and overlay networks, routing and traffic engineering, delay and disruption tolerant networks, and new networking protocols and architectures. The Re-Architecting the Internet workshop which is co-located with CoNEXT 2009 is of special interest as it addresses the important area of novel networking technologies that will shape the future of Internetworking. Thus attendance at CoNEXT provides a valuable research and career development experience for graduate students from United States academic institutions. Participants have the opportunity to present their work and technical sessions, as well as interact with peers engaged in state-of-the-art research in the field. Of special significance, the conference offers a student workshop that will enable students to present and obtain feedback on their work in progress. Approximately 7 to 10 US-based graduate students are provided the opportunity to attend CoNEXT. The travel awards will target graduate students, in particular female and under-represented minority students, since they often have limited travel funds to attend conferences; attendance at such events is an important part of their educational experience.
