Student Travel Support for IEEE CNS 2014

第二届IEEE通信与网络安全会议（CNS）将于2014年10月29日至31日在美国加利福尼亚州旧金山举行，由IEEE通信soc主办。IEEE CNS会议是IEEE INFOCOM的衍生产品，定位为ComSoc的核心会议，为通信和网络研究人员、从业者、政策制定者和用户提供一个重要的论坛，以交流思想、技术和工具，提高认识，分享与安全和隐私相关的经验。它为通信和网络社区和安全社区提供了一个独特的桥梁。本次会议的技术范围涵盖了通信和网络安全的众多领域，这有助于来自世界各地学术界，政府和行业的杰出科学家聚集在一起讨论新兴的多学科网络安全技术前沿。旅行补助金倾向于使更多的研究生受益，这将有助于扩大在通信和网络安全研究领域的参与。该项目将为大约10-15名美国研究生的出席做出贡献。旅游奖的评选过程将由CNS 2014执行委员会的一个小组委员会进行，该小组委员会由PI担任主席。旅行奖将针对研究生，特别是女性和少数族裔学生，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。

Funds are requested to support students to attend the second IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS), which is sponsored by IEEE ComSoc and will be held in San Francisco, CA, USA, October 29 - 31, 2014. IEEE CNS conference is a spin-off of IEEE INFOCOM, and is positioned to be a core ComSoc conference that serves as a premier forum for communications and network researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and users to exchange ideas, techniques and tools, raise awareness, and share experience related to security and privacy. It provides a unique bridge for the communications and networking community and the security community. The technical scope of this conference encompasses a large number of areas in communications and network security, which facilitates gathering of prominent scientists from academia, governments and industries from around the world to discuss the emerging and multidisciplinary frontiers of networking security technology. The travel grant tends to benefit a wider demographic of graduate students, which will help to broaden participation in the research area of communications and network security.This project will contribute to the attendance of approximately 10-15 US-based graduate students. The selection process for the travel award will involve a sub-committee of the CNS 2014 Executive Committee, chaired by the PI. 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.
