NSF Student Travel Grant for the 2018 IEEE International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD)

2018年IEEE计算机设计国际会议（ICCD）将于2018年10月7日至10日在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行。在过去的35年里，ICCD一直是探索计算机系统和设计的新趋势和新概念的首要学术论坛。会议汇集了来自学术和工业背景的专业人士，以应对挑战，并讨论涵盖系统和应用，工作负载表征，计算机体系结构，安全，验证和测试，设计工具和自动化方法以及纳米级设计技术的实践和理论工作。高度原创的想法，新的方法，和突破性的结果是预期的。旅行支持将使学生谁否则将无法参加的参与成为可能。ICCD会议将让学生接触到这门学科，并鼓励他们从事计算机系统设计中新兴问题的职业。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。少数本科申请人也将被考虑，以更好地接触到这一领域的潜在研究人员。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 IEEE International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD) will be held in Orlando, Florida on October 7-10, 2018. The ICCD for the past 35 years has been the premier academic forum where emerging trends and novel concepts in computer systems and design are explored. The conference brings together professionals from academic and industrial background to address the challenges, and discuss practical and theoretical work covering systems and applications, workload characterization, computer architecture, security, verification and test, design tools and automation methodologies, and nanoscale design technologies. Highly original ideas, new approaches, and groundbreaking results are expected.Travel support will make possible the participation of students who would otherwise be unable to attend. ICCD conference will expose students to the discipline and encourage them to pursue careers in emerging issues in computer system design. 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. A small number of undergraduate applicants will also be considered to better reach out to potential researchers in this field. The support will provide students who attend with the opportunity to interact with a diverse group of mentors and peers, furthering their education and research experiences.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.
