ACM SIGMOD Conference 2016: Student Activities and Travel Support

该项目的目标是为大约16名数据库专业的学生提供一个独特的机会，让他们在2016年6月26日至7月1日在加州旧金山弗朗西斯科举行的计算机协会数据管理特别兴趣小组（ACM SIGMOD）2016年会议（http：//sigmod2016.org/）上展示他们的研究成果，学习前沿研究，并与来自学术界和工业界的国际公认的研究人员进行互动。作为数据管理研究领域最负盛名的会议之一，ACM SIGMOD和相关的数据库系统原理研讨会（PODS）自1975年以来为数据管理技术和应用的各个方面的发展做出了重大贡献。除了在常规课程期间与学术界和工业界的研究人员会面外，在SIGMOD/PODS 2016中，学生将能够参与以下互动活动，部分由该项目支持：新研究人员研讨会，本科生研究海报比赛，与领先研究人员面对面的会议，以及学生指导研讨会。这些机会将对参与者未来的职业生涯产生长期的影响。ACM SIGMOD/PODS是一个集出版、教育和互动于一体的动态综合项目，是数据库研究人员、从业人员、开发人员和用户探索前沿思想和成果、交流技术、工具和经验的领先国际论坛。 ACM SIGMOD/PODS在培训数据管理关键领域的未来一代领导者和劳动力方面发挥着重要作用。

The goal of this project is to provide a unique opportunity for about 16 database students to present their research results, learn cutting edge research, and interact with internationally recognized researchers from both academia and industry at the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Management of Data (ACM SIGMOD) 2016 Conference (http://sigmod2016.org/) that will be held June 26 - July 1, 2016 in San Francisco, California. As one of the most prestigious conferences in data management research, ACM SIGMOD and the associated Symposium on Principles of Database Systems (PODS) have contributed significantly to the advance of all aspects of data management technologies and applications since 1975. Besides meeting with researchers from academia and industry during regular program sessions, in SIGMOD/PODS 2016 students will be able to participate in the following interactive activities as partially supported by this project: a new researcher symposium, an undergraduate research poster competition, face-to-face meetings with leading researchers, and a student mentoring workshop. These opportunities will have a long lasting impact on the future career of the participants. This award will provide partial support for students from U.S. institutions, especially female and minority students.ACM SIGMOD/PODS is a dynamic and comprehensive program for publication, education, and interaction; and it is a leading international forum for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and results and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. ACM SIGMOD/PODS plays a significant role in training the future generation of leaders and workforce in the critical field of data management.
