NSF Student Travel Grant for 2020 ACM International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems (ACM SIGMETRICS 2020)

2020年美国计算机协会（ACM）测量与评估特别兴趣小组（SIGMETRICS）会议将于2020年6月8日至12日在马萨诸塞州波士顿东北大学国际科学与工程综合大楼举行。ACM SIGMETRICS 2020旨在提供一个高质量的论坛，用于展示结果和讨论想法，以进一步了解和理解计算和网络系统的测量、建模、分析和设计。会议对计算机系统进行了广泛的解释，包括传统的计算系统，以及社会网络、数据网络和其他类型的系统。特别鼓励包含高度原创思想，新方法和/或突破性结果的贡献。这项资助为大约25名美国学生参加SIGMETRICS 2020会议提供旅行支持。这项支持将使那些本来不能参加会议的学生参加会议成为可能。将特别注意向各种代表性不足的人口提供支助。SIGMETRICS汇集了来自各种学术和工业背景的专业人士；因此，学生参与者将有机会与不同性别、种族和背景的导师和同龄人互动。学生还将受益于以学生为中心的活动，包括学生研讨会/小组讨论和学生研究竞赛。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) Special Interest Group on Measurement and Evaluation (SIGMETRICS) 2020 conference will be held at the International Science and Engineering Complex of Northeastern University in Boston, MA from June 8–12, 2020. ACM SIGMETRICS 2020 aims to provide a high-quality forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that further our knowledge and understanding of the measurement, modeling, analysis, and design of computing and networked systems. The conference interprets computer systems broadly, including traditional computing systems as well as social networks, data networks, and other types of systems. Contributions containing highly original ideas, new approaches, and/or ground-breaking results are particularly encouraged.This grant provides travel support for about 25 US based students to attend the SIGMETRICS 2020 conference. The support will make possible the participation of students who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference. Particular attention will be paid to directing support towards various underrepresented population. SIGMETRICS brings together professionals from a wide variety of academic and industrial backgrounds; student participants will thus get the opportunity to interact with mentors and peers of varying gender, ethnicity and background. Students will also benefit from the student-centric events, including a student workshop/panel and a student research competition.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.
