A Proposal to Support Student Travel for the ACM CoNEXT 2011 Conference

第七届新兴网络实验与技术国际会议(CONEXT)将于2011年12月6日至9日在日本东京大学校园举行。该奖项资助10名美国研究生参加这次会议。参加CONEXT这样的会议是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分，因为它为学生提供了与更资深的研究人员互动的机会，并使他们接触到该领域的前沿研究。ACM Conext的独特之处在于它强调国际层面上网络研究人员之间的互动；参加Conext是美国研究生与蓬勃发展的国际研究社区建立联系的绝佳机会。将与Conext联合组织一次特别的学生讲习班，使学生能够介绍并获得对他们正在进行的工作的反馈。来自该奖项的支持将使学生能够参加2011国际会议的主要会议和相关的研讨会。旅行补助金主席致力于鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数群体参与。智力价值：该奖项为研究生参加2011国际会议及相关研讨会提供支持，这些研讨会包括学生研讨会、物联网和服务平台研讨会以及互联网与灾害特别研讨会。这个丰富的项目将使学生接触到新的想法，并允许他们与其他研究人员互动。特别是，学生工作坊旨在为学生提供一个机会来展示他们正在进行的工作，接受对他们工作的反馈，并在撰写和提交技术论文方面获得宝贵的经验。广泛的影响：该项目通过参加计算机网络和通信领域的主要技术会议，将学生的研究和教育整合在一起。学生将有机会在主要会议和相关研讨会上观看高质量的演讲，并与该领域的资深研究人员互动。建议的学生参与将对他们的研究质量产生积极影响。将鼓励妇女和其他少数群体参与。Conext会议的一个显著特点是其真正的国际色彩，它为学生提供了一个极大的机会来扩大他们的思想广度、研究技能和技术视角。

The 7th International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT) will be held from December 6th to December 9th 2011 on the campus of the University of Tokyo in Japan. This award funds 10 US-based graduate students to attend this conference. Participation in conferences such as CoNEXT is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience as it provides students with an opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and exposes them to leading-edge research in the field. ACM CoNEXT is unique in its emphasis on interactions between networking researchers at an international level; and attending CoNEXT is an excellent opportunity for US graduate students to connect with a thriving international research community. A special student workshop will be organized in association with CoNEXT that will enable students to present and obtain feedback on their work in progress. The support from this award will enable students to attend the main conference and associated workshops at CoNEXT 2011. The travel grant chair is committed to encouraging the participation of women and under-represented minorities.Intellectual Merit: This award provides support for graduate students to attend CoNEXT 2011 and the associated workshops, which include the student workshop, the Workshop on Internet of Things and Service Platforms, and the Special Workshop on the Internet and Disasters. This rich program will expose students to new ideas, and allow them to interact with other researchers. In particular, the student workshop is geared to provide students an opportunity to present their work in progress, receive feedback on their work, and obtain valuable experience in writing and presenting technical papers.Broader Impact: This project integrates research and education of students through exposure to a premier technical meeting in computer networks and communications. Students will have the opportunity to observe high-quality presentations and interact with senior researchers in the field both in the main conference and the associated workshops. The proposed student participation will have a positive impact on the quality of their research. Women and other minorities will be encouraged to participate. A distinguishing feature of the CoNEXT conference is its truly international flavor which presents a tremendous opportunity to students to expand their breadth of ideas, research skills, and technical perspective.
