NSF Student Travel Grant for 2018 ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing (SoCC)

计算机协会（ACM） 2018年云计算研讨会（SoCC '18）汇集了对云计算感兴趣的研究人员、开发人员、用户和从业者。ACM SoCC是关于云计算的首要会议，也是一个动态的、全面的出版、教育和互动计划。该计划包括研究和工业论文，海报会议，以及学术界和工业界领导人的主题演讲。SoCC的范围很广，包括各种数据管理和系统主题，如软件即服务、虚拟化、可扩展的云数据服务以及大规模的数据管理和分析。该提议的智力价值在于分享科学信息。这包括让学生有机会展示他们的研究成果，了解其他人进行的前沿研究，并在顶级云计算会议上与专家互动。SoCC为学生提供了一个独特的机会，与来自学术界和工业界的国际公认的研究人员分享他们的知识和经验。主题演讲和许多论文/海报展示为学生提供了宝贵的学习机会，以及接触最新研究成果和与作者讨论这些成果的机会。它还为学生提供了一个绝佳的环境，让他们在常规课程期间与行业领导者（来自微软、bb0、IBM、甲骨文、Salesforce、VMware、Facebook等）进行互动。这些机会将对学员未来的职业生涯产生深远的影响。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。

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Symposium on Cloud Computing 2018 (SoCC '18) brings together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners interested in cloud computing. ACM SoCC is the premier conference on cloud computing and a dynamic and comprehensive program for publication, education, and interaction. The program includes research and industrial papers, poster sessions, and keynote talks by leaders in academia and industry. The scope of SoCC is broad and encompasses diverse data management and systems topics such as software as a service, virtualization, scalable cloud data services, and data management and analytics at scale. The intellectual merit of the proposal is to share scientific information. This includes the opportunity for students to showcase their research results, learn about the cutting-edge research conducted by others, and interact with experts at a premier cloud computing conference. SoCC provides a unique opportunity for students to share their knowledge and experience with internationally recognized researchers from both academia and industry. The keynotes and many paper/poster presentations provide students with invaluable learning opportunities, as well as exposure to the latest research results and the opportunity to discuss these results with the authors. It also offers an excellent environment for students to interact with industry leaders (from Microsoft, Google, IBM, Oracle, Salesforce, VMware, Facebook, and others) during regular program sessions. These opportunities will have a long-lasting impact on the future career of the participants.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.
