SODA 2014 Travel Grant

该奖项将帮助学生和博士后参加2014年1月5日至7日在俄勒冈州波特兰举行的ACM/SIAM离散算法科学（SODA）年度研讨会。SODA是由计算机协会（ACM）和工业与应用数学协会（SIAM）共同发起的。SODA是离散算法领域的顶级年度研究会议，也是理论计算机科学领域的三大顶级会议之一。SODA自1990年以来每年举行一次会议，通常每年有300多名与会者。它与两个较小的研讨会，ALENEX（算法工程和实验会议）和ANALCO（算法分析会议）位于同一地点。SODA由来自世界各地的研究人员参加。算法领域是一个充满活力的领域，年轻研究人员的参与率很高，许多论文由学生作者撰写。对于这些学生作者和学生与会者来说，会议提供了宝贵的教育经验，无论是会谈的技术内容还是它提供的网络机会。

This award will help support student and postdoctoral attendance at the Annual ACM/SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms Science (SODA) 2014, in Portland, OR on January 5 to 7, 2014.  SODA is co-sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) .  SODA is the premier annual research conference in the field of discrete algorithms and one of the three premier conferences in theoretical computer science. SODA has been meeting annually since 1990 and in a typical year has over 300 attendees.  It is co-located with two smaller workshops, ALENEX (Meeting on Algorithm Engineering and Experimentation) and ANALCO (Meeting on Analysis of Algorithms).  SODA is attended by researchers from all over the world.  The field of algorithms is a vibrant one, with high participation rates from young researchers, and many papers with student authors. For these student authors and student attendees, the conference serves as a valuable educational experience, both for the technical content of the talks and for the opportunities for networking that it provides.
