III: Travel Support for U.S.-Based Graduate Students to Attend the 26th IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE 2010)

这项旅行支持使美国的研究生能够参加2010年3月1日至6日在美国加利福尼亚州长滩举行的第26届数据工程国际会议(http://www.icde2010.org/).ICDE会议已确立为重要的数据和信息工程会议之一。它解决了设计、构建、管理和评估高级数据密集型系统和应用程序的研究问题。作为一个领先的国际论坛，它为研究人员、实践者、开发人员和用户提供展示和探索尖端思想、交流技术、工具和经验以及传播创新的、实用的开发经验的机会。ICDE会议涵盖数据和信息工程的方方面面，包括但不限于：查询处理和优化；数据集成和互操作性；索引和存储；系统和体系结构；分布式、移动和传感器数据库；数据和知识发现；网络应用；半结构化数据；社会网络；隐私和安全；科学和时空数据库等。这笔助学金为20名合格的美国研究生参与者提供部分旅行支持和注册。学生们将从参加这次会议中受益匪浅，因为他们将能够展示他们的工作并建立研究合作关系。在ICDE上展示的工作获得了很高的知名度，因为ICDE会议记录是由IEEE出版的。过去ICDE的参与者总数已超过500人，其中大部分参与者来自美国，其次是欧洲和亚洲。ICDE拥有强大的美国研究生代表，有助于保持美国在这些重要研究领域的竞争力。

This travel support enables U.S.-based graduate students to attend the 26th International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE), held in Long Beach, California, USA, March 1-6, 2010 (http://www.icde2010.org/). The ICDE conference has established itself as one of the prominent data and information engineering meetings. It addresses research issues in designing, building, managing, and evaluating advanced data-intensive systems and applications. As a leading international forum it provides for researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to present and explore cutting-edge ideas, exchange techniques, tools, and experiences and disseminate innovative, practical development experiences. The ICDE conference covers all aspects of data and information engineering that include, but are not limited to: query processing and optimization; data integration and interoperability; indexing and storage; systems and architectures; distributed, mobile and sensor databases; data and knowledge discovery; web applications; semi-structured data; social networks; privacy and security; scientific and spatio-temporal databases; etc. The conference seeks to continuously advance the state of-the-art in data engineering and broaden its impact. This grant provides partial travel support and registration for 20 qualified U.S. based graduate student participants. The students will greatly benefit from attending this conference, as they will be able to present their work and make research collaboration connections. Work presented at ICDE gets high visibility; as the ICDE Proceedings are published by IEEE. The total number of ICDE participants in the past has been in excess of 500, with a majority of the participants from the U.S., then Europe and Asia. A strong representation of U.S.-based graduate students at ICDE is useful in maintaining U.S. competitiveness in these important research areas.
