CSR: Student Travel Support for SIGMETRICS 2010

该项目资助学生参加将于2010年6月14日至18日在纽约哥伦比亚大学举行的ACM SIGMETRICS 2010会议。SIGMETRICS是性能建模领域的关键会议，学生参加这个会议是至关重要的，这样他们就会受到启发，去研究正式的建模技术。总金额1万美元将用于支持20名学生的旅行补助金。每个支持的学生将获得500美元的旅费和住宿费，并将获得免费的会议注册。本提案所要求的支持将使那些本来无法参加的学生能够参加。将特别注意向包括妇女在内的代表性不足的少数群体提供支助。

This project funds student travel for the ACM SIGMETRICS 2010 conference to be held at Columbia University in New York, on June 14-18, 2010. SIGMETRICS is the key conference in the performance modeling area and it is critical that students attend this conference so that they are inspired to look into formal modeling techniques. The the total amount of $10K will be used to support 20 student travel grants. Each supported student will receive $500 USD to cover travel cost and lodging expenses and will receive free conference registration. 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.
