Student Research and Educational Activities at ACM SIGMOD 2012

该项目的目标是为学生提供一个独特的机会，在ACM SIGMOD 2012(国际数据管理会议)上展示他们的研究成果，学习尖端研究，并与来自学术界和工业界的国际公认的研究人员互动。作为数据管理研究领域最负盛名的会议之一，ACM SIGMOD自1975年以来为数据管理技术和应用的各个方面的进步做出了重大贡献。今天，ACM SIGMOD是一个动态和全面的出版、教育和互动计划；它是数据库研究人员、从业者、开发人员和用户探索尖端想法和结果以及交流技术、工具和经验的领先国际论坛。该项目为被美国院校录取的学生，特别是女性和少数族裔学生，提供部分支持，让他们参加在亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔举行的ACM SIGMOD 2012会议并展示他们的研究成果。除了在定期的项目会议期间与学术界和产业界的研究人员会面外，在SIGMOD 2012中，学生还可以参加由该项目部分支持的以下互动活动：新研究人员研讨会、本科生研究海报竞赛、与领先研究人员的面对面会议，以及女学生指导研讨会。这些机会将对参与者未来的职业生涯产生长期持久的影响。更广泛的影响是培训关键数据管理领域的下一代领导者和劳动力。项目详情可通过网站http://www.sigmod.org/2012/.查阅。

The goal of this project is to provide a unique opportunity for students to present their research results, learn the cutting edge research, and interact with internationally recognized researchers from both academia and industry at the ACM SIGMOD 2012 (International Conference on Data Management). As one of the most prestigious conferences in data management research, ACM SIGMOD has contributed significantly to the advance of all aspects of data management technologies and applications since 1975. Today ACM SIGMOD is a dynamic and comprehensive program for publication, education, and interaction; and it is a leading international forum for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and results and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. This project provides partial support for students matriculated at U.S. institutions, especially female and minority students, to attend and present their research work at ACM SIGMOD 2012 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Besides meeting with researchers from academia and industry during regular program sessions, in SIGMOD 2012 students are able to participate in the following interactive activities as partially supported by this project: a new researcher symposium, an undergraduate research poster competition, vis-a-vis meetings with leading researchers, and a female student mentoring workshop. These opportunities will have a long lasting impact on the future career of the participants. The broader impact is to train the future generation of leaders and workforce in the critical field of data management. The project details are available via the website http://www.sigmod.org/2012/.
