III: Travel Support for US-Based Students to Attend the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2009)

国际旅行支持使美国的研究生能够参加2009年12月6日至9日在美国佛罗里达州迈阿密举行的2009年IEEE数据挖掘国际会议(ICDM2009)(http://www.cs.umbc.edu/ICDM09/).ICDM是世界首屈一指的数据挖掘研究会议。它为展示原创研究成果以及交流和传播创新的实际发展经验提供了一个国际论坛。会议涵盖了数据挖掘的方方面面，包括算法、软件和系统、应用以及数据管理、机器学习和生物信息学等相关领域。随着网络、互联网以及传感器网络和生物信息学等数据密集型技术的发展，ICDM寻求不断推动数据挖掘作为信息技术中一个极其重要的领域的最新发展。过去ICDM的参与者总数已超过300人，其中大部分参与者来自美国，其次是欧洲和亚洲。这项旅行支持预计将为15名美国研究生参与者提供奖学金，以部分支付合格学生参与者的旅行费用。另一个目标是在代表性不足的学生中扩大对计算机科学的参与。在ICDM 2009上，美国初级研究人员的强大代表有助于培养美国在这一重要领域的竞争力。

International travel support enables U.S.-based graduate students to attend the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2009), held in Miami, Florida, USA December 6-9, 2009 (http://www.cs.umbc.edu/ICDM09/). ICDM is the world's premier research conference in data mining. It provides an international forum for presentation of original research results, as well as exchange and dissemination of innovative, practical development experiences. The conference covers all aspects of data mining, including algorithms, software and systems, and applications, as well as related areas such as data management, machine learning and bioinformatics. The conference proceedings are published by IEEE.With the growth of the Web, the Internet, and data intensive technologies such as Sensor Networks and Bioinformatics, ICDM seeks to continuously advance the state-of-the-art in data mining as an extremely important area in Information Technology. The total number of ICDM participants in the past has been in excess of 300, with a majority of the participants from the U.S., then Europe and Asia. This travel support is expected to provide scholarships to 15 U.S.-based graduate student participants to partially defray travel costs for the qualified student participants. An additional aim is to broaden participation in computer science among the underrepresented students. A strong representation of U.S. junior researchers at the ICDM 2009 is useful in fostering U.S. competitiveness in this important area.
