NSF Student Travel Grant for 2018 ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing (ACM/IEEE SEC)

该奖项旨在帮助美国的研究生参加在华盛顿贝尔维尤举行的第三届计算机机械协会（ACM）/电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）边缘计算研讨会（SEC 2018）。参加SEC 2018和类似的会议是研究生院经验的宝贵和重要的活动。它为学生提供了与更高级的研究人员互动的机会，并使学生接触到这一重要研究领域的领先工作和实际行业实践。 这可能会对职业发展产生重要影响，会议将于10月25-27日在华盛顿贝尔维尤举行，将历时三天，将由技术论文展示、小组讨论、海报展示、演示等组成。 它还将包括该领域主要研究人员和从业人员的主题演讲。 学生参加会议是一项重要的活动。资金将优先分配给无法参加会议的学生和尚未安排提交论文的学生，特别关注学生研究兴趣的多样性和相关性。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力审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is to assist United States-based graduate students to attend the Third Association for Computer Machinery (ACM)/Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC 2018) in Bellevue, Washington. Participation in SEC 2018 and similar conferences are valuable and important activities of the graduate school experience. It provides students with the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers, and exposes students to leading work and practical industry practices in this important area of research. This may have an important impact on career development.The conference will be held in Bellevue, Washington on October 25-27, will span three days, and will consist of technical paper presentations, panels, posters, and demonstrations. It will also feature keynote speeches from leading researchers and practitioners in the field. Student travel to conferences is an important activity. Funds will be dispersed with preference given to students who would not otherwise be able to attend the conference and students who are not already scheduled to present a paper, paying particular attention to diversity and relevance of the student's research interest.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.
