Student Travel Support for IEEE INFOCOM 2013

2013年IEEE INFOCOM计算机通信会议将于2013年4月14日至19日在意大利的都灵举行。这个卓越的技术会议是展示计算机通信领域新研究成果的主要场所，该领域的研究人员和从业人员广泛参加。参加INFOCOM等会议对研究生的发展至关重要。参与者有机会展示他们的工作，参加小组和主题演讲，并与数百名在该领域进行前沿研究的其他人互动。该提案要求提供资金，以支持美国约20名研究生参加这次首映式会议。旅行奖将针对研究生，特别是妇女和代表人数不足的少数民族学生，因为参加会议是他们教育经历的重要组成部分，而他们的旅行资金往往有限。

The 2013 IEEE INFOCOM Conference on Computer Communications will be held in Turin, Italy, April 14-19, 2013. This preeminent technical conference is the primary venue for presenting new research results in the area of computer communications, and is widely attended by researchers and practitioners in the field. Attending conferences such as INFOCOM is of paramount importance for the development of graduate students. Participants have the opportunity to present their work, attend panel and keynote sessions, and interact with hundreds of others performing leading-edge research in the field. This proposal requests funding to support approximately 20 graduate students in the United States to attend this premiere conference. The travel award will target graduate students, in particular, women and under-represented minority students, since attending conferences is an important part of their educational experience, and they often have limited travel funds.
