NSF Student Travel Grant for IEEE SmartCloud 2017

该项目为SmartCloud 2017（第二届IEEE SmartCloud 2017国际会议，http://smartcloud2017.smart-com.org）提供资金，以支持对云计算研究感兴趣并从事云相关研究工作的本科生/研究生，特别是代表性不足的学生。 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有多个平行的会议，不同的焦点，其中专业介绍最新的研究将由高级研究人员提出。有一个认真的计划，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，如小组讨论和研讨会，并在机会有限时优先考虑他们的参与。 会议提供了一个宝贵的论坛，介绍新技术，分享新工具，并审查即将出版的未来潜在的研究人员，允许有机会通过建立专业和学术社交网络来促进他们的教育和探索职业发展。

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.
