Student Travel Support for the INFOCOM 2015 Conference

IEEE INFOCOM是展示最新研究成果的主要论坛，涵盖了通信、数据网络和无线网络的广泛主题。研究人员参加这个论坛是为了确定改进他们工作的方法，并寻求其他研究人员对他们工作的反馈。对于学生来说，这是一个以非常非正式和友好的方式与其他顶级研究人员互动的宝贵途径。该奖项将支持美国院校的学生参加2015年IEEE INFOCOM计算机通信会议，该会议将于2015年4月26日至5月1日在香港举行。将优先考虑那些将从参加本次研讨会中受益，但由于无法获得旅行资金而不太可能参加的学生。此外，高等教育大力鼓励女性和代表性不足群体的申请。申请的旅行经费将允许在该领域进行研究的研究生参加高水平的技术报告，接触最先进的研究，并与领先的研究人员和研究生同学互动。参加INFOCOM 2015对学生的职业生涯的影响预计是巨大的，因为如果没有这笔资助的支持，他们将无法参加这次活动。

IEEE INFOCOM is the premier forum to showcase the latest research outcomes that cover a wide range of topics in communications, data networking and wireless networks. Researchers attend this forum to identify methods of improving their work, and seek feedback from fellow researchers on their work. For students, this is a valuable avenue to interact with other top-tier researchers in very informal and friendly manner. This award will support students at U.S. institutions to attend the 2015 IEEE INFOCOM Conference on Computer Communications which will be held in Hong Kong April 26-May 1, 2015. Priority will be given to students who will benefit from attending this workshop, but are unlikely to attend due to the unavailability of travel funding. In addition, applications from female and underrepresented groups in higher education are greatly encouraged.The requested travel funds will allow graduate students conducting research in the field to attend high-caliber technical presentations, be exposed to state-of-the-art research, and interact with leading researchers and fellow graduate students. The impact to the students' careers from attending INFOCOM 2015 is expected to be substantial, since they would be unable to attend this event without the support of this grant.
