N2Women 2014 Student Travel Grants

该补助金支持美国机构的学生参加第四届网络女性（N^2Women）研讨会。该研讨会将与2014年8月在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的2014年ACM数据通信特别兴趣小组（SIGCOMM 2014）年会同期举行。研讨会将是一个全天的活动，在主会议之前的星期天举行，以促进与会者在本周初之间的联系。此外，我们选择了星期天的时间段，以避免与会议相关的技术研讨会发生冲突，这些研讨会将在会议之前的星期一举行。将优先考虑谁将受益于参加研讨会的学生，但不太可能参加，由于旅行资金的不可用。参加N^2妇女讲习班的学生将被鼓励留下来参加SIGCOMM。智力优势：该提案的智力价值在于学生参与者将对以下方面做出的贡献：（1）N^2妇女研讨会，（2）SIGCOMM 2014活动（网络通信领域的首要会议）和（3）学生未来的科学进步？research.接触N^2妇女研讨会和SIGCOMM 2014的技术内容将激励学生解决各自领域的坚韧，并为这些类型的网络带来长期的科学进步效益。更广泛的影响：这一提议的更广泛的影响是发展了那些在这种支持下能够参加N^2Women的人数不足的研究生。旅行基金将允许这些研究生参加高质量的技术演示，接触最先进的研究，并与领先的研究人员和研究生进行互动。对学生的影响如何？参加N^2Women研讨会的职业生涯是实质性的。

This grant supports students at U.S. institutions to attend the 4th Networking Networking Women (N^2Women) Workshop. This workshop will be co-­located with the 2014 annual conference of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM 2014), to be held in Chicago, Illinois, August 2014. The workshop will be a full-day event held on the Sunday preceding the main conference in order to foster connections between attendees early in the week. Moreover, we have selected the Sunday timeslot to avoid conflicts with the technical workshops associated with the conference, which will be held on the Monday preceding the conference. Priority will be given to students who will benefit from attending the workshop, but are unlikely to attend due to the unavailability of travel funding. Students attending the N^2Women Workshop will be encouraged to stay and attend SIGCOMM. Intellectual Merit: The intellectual merit of this proposal resides in the contributions that the student participants will make to (1) the N^2Women Workshop, (2) the SIGCOMM 2014 event (the premier conference in the networking communications field) and (3) the future scientific progress of the students? research. The exposure to the technical content of both the N^2Women Workshop and SIGCOMM 2014 will inspire students to address the tough problems in their respective field, with a long-­term benefit of scientific progress for these types of networks. Broader Impacts: The broader impact of this proposal is the development of the under-­represented graduate students who with this t ravel support are able to attend the N^2Women. The travel funds will allow these graduate students to attend high-­caliber technical presentations, be exposed to state-of-the-art research, and interact with leading researchers and fellow graduate students. We expect the impact to the students? careers from attending the N^2Women Workshop to be substantial.
