NSF Student Travel Grant for the 2019 ACM Sigmetrics International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems (Sigmetrics 2019)

ACM Sigmetrics 2019会议将于2019年6月24日至28日在亚利桑那州凤凰城的凤凰城会议中心举行，并将成为2019年ACM联邦计算研究会议（FCRC）的一部分。Sigmetrics是讨论最先进的、广泛适用的分析、模拟和基于测量的性能评估技术的开发和应用的主要论坛。从历史上看，Sigmetrics汇集了200多名来自学术和工业背景的专业人士。Sigmetrics的技术计划包括研究和正在进行的论文的海报展示、研讨会、教程、小组讨论，以及由计算机系统性能评估领域的世界领先专家邀请的主题演讲。Sigmetrics提供了一个国际论坛，用于展示原始研究成果，以及交流和传播创新和实用的系统建模思想，这对学生参与者特别有价值。这项资助为大约25名美国研究生参与者参加Sigmetrics 2019会议提供旅行支持。美国研究人员在会议上的强大代表，特别是学生，对保持美国的竞争力至关重要。这笔赠款将根据成绩和需要为学生提供旅行支助，并将特别强调获奖者选择的多样性，以增加代表性不足群体的参与。这种支持将帮助学生参加会议，并与业界和学术界的专业人士进行互动。参加Sigmetrics提供的教育体验，包括辅导课和研讨会，将为学生提供重要的学习和指导机会。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 ACM Sigmetrics 2019 conference will be held at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona from June 24-28, 2019, and will be part of the ACM Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC) 2019. Sigmetrics is the premier forum for discussing the development and application of state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic, simulation, and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. Historically, Sigmetrics brings together 200 or more professionals from academic and industrial backgrounds. The technical program of Sigmetrics includes research and work-in-progress poster presentations of refereed papers, workshops, tutorials, panel discussions, and invited keynote talks by the world's leading experts in the area of performance evaluation of computer systems. Sigmetrics provides an international forum for presentation of original research results as well as exchange and dissemination of innovative and practical systems modeling ideas, which are particularly valuable for student participants. This grant provides travel support for about 25 U.S. based graduate student participants to attend the Sigmetrics 2019 conference. A strong representation of U.S. researchers at the conference, particularly students, is essential in maintaining U.S. competitiveness. This grant will provide travel support for students based on merit and need, and particular emphasis will be placed on diversity for the selection of awardees to increase participation of under-represented groups. This support will help students attend the conference and interact with professionals in both industry and academia. Taking part in the educational experiences available at Sigmetrics, including tutorial sessions and workshops, will provide students with important learning and mentoring opportunities.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.
