NSF Travel Grant Support for IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications and Network 2010 Conference

第19届IEEE计算机通信和网络国际会议将于2010年8月在瑞士苏黎世举行(http://icccn.org/icccn10/).这项提议要求提供15 000美元的资金，以协助10至15名美国研究生参加ICCCN 2010年。ICCCN是在计算机通信和网络领域展示新思想和基本进展的领先国际会议之一。ICCCN的作用是促进研究人员和从业人员之间的交流，他们对通过科技创新改善通信和网络有共同的兴趣。技术联合赞助由IEEE通信学会提供。2009年，针对CFP提交的意见书数量超过400份；技术方案委员会只选择了104篇常规论文在会议上提交。2009年，会议计划包括11个技术轨道、一些主旨和杰出的演讲者和小组。此外，还有7个关于前沿话题的工作坊。ICCCN 2010将包括类似的技术轨道和研讨会，并延续颁发最佳论文奖的传统。更广泛的影响参与IEEE ICCCN这样的会议是研究生非常重要的一部分吗？研究和职业发展，为他们提供机会介绍自己的工作，参加小组和主题演讲会议，与同行和更资深的研究人员互动，并使自己接触到计算机通信和网络领域的前沿工作。这项提案中要求的支持将使更多的美国研究生能够参与，否则他们将无法参加ICCCN 2010。

The 19th IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2010) will be held in ETH Zurich, Switzerland in August, 2010 (http://icccn.org/icccn10/). This proposal requests $15,000 in funding to assist 10-15 United States-based graduate students to attend ICCCN 2010. Intellectual MeritICCCN is one of the leading international conferences for presenting novel ideas and fundamental advances in the fields of computer communications and networks. ICCCN serves to foster communication among researchers and practitioners with a common interest in improving communications and networking through scientific and technological innovation. Technical co-sponsorship is provided by the IEEE Communications Society. In 2009, the number of submissions in response to the CFP was over 400; only 104 regular papers were selected by the Technical Program Committee for presentation at the conference. In 2009, the conference program includes 11 technical tracks, a number of keynote and distinguished speakers and panels. Besides, there are 7 workshops on cutting edge topics. ICCCN 2010 will include similar technical tracks and workshops and continue the tradition of presenting the Best Paper Award. Broader ImpactParticipation in conferences such as IEEE ICCCN is an extremely important part of the graduate students? research and career development, providing the opportunity for them to present their own work, attend panel and keynote speech sessions, interact with peers and more senior researchers, and expose themselves to leading edge work in the field of computer communication and networks. The support requested in this proposal will enable more participation of the US-based graduate students who would otherwise be unable to attend ICCCN 2010.
