Chinese-American Network Symposium 2010

该提案要求为can2010年会的差旅及相关费用提供资金支持。can2010年会历来在美国和中国两地轮流举行。此次研讨会预计将吸引60-70人参加。在美国方面，该提案支持最多11名与会者的旅行费用，以及与会议场地租金和a/v设备等活动相关的费用。5名研究生或青年研究人员也将被支持参加。来自中国科学院（CAS）和CERNET的支持信出现在提案中，并被描述为CANS的长期合作伙伴，这是中国两个主要的先进网络资助和运营组织（SAC通过其CNIC部门）。该提案称，研讨会旨在促进中美两国领导人和网络研究人员之间的思想交流（该提案的智力价值），否则这种交流是不会发生的。更广泛的影响是指这次和以前的此类事件所产生的持续互动和合作。该活动将于9月19日至21日举行。

This proposal requests funds to support travel and associated costs for CANS 2010, an annual symposium that historically has alternated each year between a location in the U.S. and China. The symposium is expected to draw 60-70 people. On the U.S. side, this proposal supports travel costs for up to 11 participants, and costs associated with running the event such as meeting space rental and a/v equipment. 5 graduate students or young investigators will be supported in their participation as well. Letters of support from the Chinese Acadamy of Sciences (CAS) and CERNET, the two primary advanced networking funding and operational organizations (SAC through their CNIC division) in China, appear in the proposal and are described as long standing partners in CANS. The symposium is intended to enable the exchange of ideas (the proposal's intellectual merit) that, the proposal claims, would not otherwise happen between leaders and network researchers in the U.S. and China. Broader impact is referenced as the ongoing interactions and collaborations resulting from this and previous such events. The event is scheduled for September 19-21.
