Student Travel Support for the 2018 ACM SIGMETRICS International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems (SIGMETRICS 2018)

2018年计算机械协会（ACM）测量与评估特别兴趣小组（SIGMETRICS）会议将于2018年6月18日至22日在加州尔湾贝克曼中心举行。SIGMETRICS汇集了来自学术和工业背景的专业人士，成为讨论最先进，广泛适用的分析，模拟和基于测量的性能评估技术的发展和应用的首要论坛。SIGMETRICS会议展示了与所有类型的计算机系统性能的各个方面相关的创新，令人兴奋的工作。高度原创的想法，新的方法，和/或突破性的结果是预期的。旅行支持将使那些无法参加的学生能够参加。特别注意向代表性不足的群体提供支助，例如，性别或少数民族以及来自规模较小或知名度较低的院校的学生。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 2018 Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group on Measurement and Evaluation (SIGMETRICS) conference will be held at Beckman Center, Irvine, California on June 18-22, 2018. SIGMETRICS brings together professionals from academic and industrial backgrounds in what has become a premier forum for discussing the development and application of state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic, simulation, and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. The SIGMETRICS conference presents innovative, exciting work related to all aspects of performance for all types of computer systems. Highly original ideas, new approaches, and/or ground breaking results are expected. Travel support will make possible the participation of students who would otherwise be unable to attend. Particular attention is paid to directing support towards under-represented groups, e.g., gender or ethnic minorities and students from smaller or less well-known institutions. The support will provide students who attend with the opportunity to interact with a diverse group of mentors and peers, furthering their education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
