NSF Student Travel Grant for 2018 International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC)

该奖项将支持学生出席2018年10月15日至19日在洛杉矶新奥尔良举行的2018年分布式计算（DISC）国际研讨会。分布式计算无处不在，在Internet和小型设备中有许多应用程序。DISC为学生提供了一个机会，让他们了解驱动分布式计算应用的算法背后的基本概念。该奖项将为大约10名学生参加分布式计算领域的顶级会议提供部分支持。将努力支持来自代表性不足群体的学生，并考虑到学生的地理多样性。该奖项将鼓励和促进学生参与这一顶级计算机科学会议。它将有助于吸引更多代表性不足的群体参与计算机科学研究，使学生有机会参与DISC所促进的重要技术、专业和社会交流。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will support student attendance at the 2018 International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC), in New Orleans, LA, October 15 to 19, 2018. Distributed computing is ubiquitous, with many applications in the Internet and in small-scale devices. DISC gives an opportunity to expose students to the fundamental concepts behind the algorithms that drive distributed computing applications.This award will provide partial support to approximately 10 students to attend this top conference in the area of distributed computing. Efforts will be made to support students from under-represented groups and geographic diversity among students will be taken into account. The award will encourage and facilitate the student participation in this top-tier computer science conference. It will contribute towards attracting more under-represented groups to computer science research giving students an opportunity to engage in the important technical, professional, and social exchanges that DISC fosters.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.
