NSF Student Travel Grant for the 2018 International Conference on Emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT)

第14届新兴网络实验和技术国际会议（CoNEXT）将于2018年12月4日至12月7日在希腊赫拉克利翁举行。该奖项帮助12名美国研究生参加这次会议。参加会议，如CONEXT形成了研究生院的经验的核心部分，因为它为学生提供了一个机会，与更高级的研究人员进行互动，并使他们接触到该领域的前沿研究。ACM CoNEXT强调网络研究人员在国际层面上的互动，参加CoNEXT为美国研究生提供了一个与蓬勃发展的国际研究社区联系的绝佳机会。与往年一样，CONEXT 2018将包括一个特殊的学生研讨会，使学生能够展示并获得对他们正在进行的工作的反馈。该奖项使学生能够参加主要会议和相关的CoNEXT 2018研讨会，其中包括“第一届5G实验和测量国际研讨会（EM-5G）”和“QUIC（EPIQ）研讨会的演变，性能和互操作性”。该计划将使学生接触新的想法，并允许他们与其他研究人员互动。否则这些学生就不能参加会议。旅费赠款讲座致力于妇女和代表人数不足的少数民族的参与，该项目通过参加计算机网络和通信方面的一次重要技术会议，将研究和教育结合起来。学生将有机会在主会议和相关研讨会上观察高质量的演讲，并与该领域的高级研究人员进行互动。特别是，学生研讨会的重点是为学生提供一个机会，介绍他们正在进行的工作，收到他们的工作反馈，并获得宝贵的经验，在写作和提交技术论文，从而对他们的研究质量产生积极的影响。CoNEXT会议已经发展成为一个顶级的国际会议，为学生提供了一个巨大的机会，以扩大他们的思想，研究技能和技术视角的广度。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。

The 14th International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT) will take place from December 4 to December 7, 2018 in Heraklion, Greece. This award assists 12 US-based graduate students to attend this conference. Participation in conferences such as CoNEXT forms a central part of the graduate school experience as it provides students with an opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and exposes them to leading-edge research in the field. ACM CoNEXT emphasizes interactions among networking researchers at an international level, and attending CoNEXT presents an excellent opportunity for US graduate students to connect with a thriving international research community. As in past years, CoNEXT 2018 will include a special student workshop that will enable students to present and obtain feedback on their work in progress. This award enables students to attend the main conference and associated CoNEXT 2018 workshops, which include the "First International Workshop on Experimentation and Measurements in 5G (EM-5G)", and the "Evolution, Performance, and Interoperability of QUIC (EPIQ) Workshop". This program will expose students to new ideas, and allow them to interact with other researchers. These students would otherwise be unable to attend the conference. The travel grant chair is committed to the participation of women and underrepresented minorities.This project integrates research and education of students through exposure to a premier technical meeting in computer networks and communications. Students will have the opportunity to observe high-quality presentations and interact with senior researchers in the field both in the main conference and the associated workshops. In particular, the student workshop focuses on providing students an opportunity to present their work in progress, receive feedback on their work, and obtain valuable experience in writing and presenting technical papers thus having a positive impact on the quality of their research. The CoNEXT conference has developed into a top-tier international conference, presenting a tremendous opportunity to students to expand their breadth of ideas, research skills, and technical perspective.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.
