NSF Student Travel Grant for IEEE SmartCloud 2017

本项目为SmartCloud 2017（第二届IEEE国际智能云会议2017，http://smartcloud2017.smart-com.org）提出资助，以支持本科生/研究生，特别是代表性不足的学生，他们对云计算研究感兴趣，并从事与云相关的研究工作。学生演讲者/与会者通过参加这种类型的学术活动学到了很多东西。SmartCoud 2017有多个平行会议，不同的重点，资深研究人员将展示最新研究的专业报告。有一个严肃的计划，招募少数民族学生和代表性不足的群体，让他们参与会议提供的活动，如小组讨论和讲习班，并在机会有限的情况下优先参与。会议为未来潜在的研究人员介绍新技术、分享新工具和审查即将出版的出版物提供了一个有价值的论坛，允许通过建立专业和学术社交网络来推进他们的教育和探索职业发展的机会。

This project proposes funding for SmartCloud 2017 (The 2nd IEEE International Conference on SmartCloud 2017, http://smartcloud2017.smart-com.org) to support undergraduate/graduate students, especially under-represented students, who are interested in cloud computing research and pursuing cloud-related research work. Student presenters/attendees learn a great deal by participating in this type of academic event. SmartCoud 2017 has multiple parallel sessions with different foci where professional presentations on recent research will be presented by senior researchers.There is a serious plan to recruit minority students and underrepresented groups, engage them in the activities provided by the conference, such as panels and workshops, and give them priority to participate when opportunities are limited. The conference provides a valuable forum for introducing new techniques, sharing new tools, and reviewing upcoming publications to future potential researchers, allowing for opportunities to advance their education and explore career development by building professional and academic social networks.
