Travel: Student Travel Support for IEEE/ACM International Conferences on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2022) and Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT 2022)

UCC 2022和BDCAT 2022会议将为学术界和工业界的研究人员提供一个重要的国际平台，展示云/边缘计算和大数据计算和技术的新发现、发展、研究成果，以及最新趋势和新挑战。会议将于2022年12月6日至9日在俄勒冈州波特兰市的波特兰市中心滨水区万豪酒店举行，由云计算和大数据技术的领先专家小组组织，将汇集来自学术界、工业界、实验室和商业的研究人员、开发人员和用户，讨论云计算和大数据技术的最新进展和趋势。这是一项资助学生参加会议的旅费的提案，以深入接触UCC/BDCAT研究社区。UCC/BDCAT学生参与计划为学生提供了一个全面的方法来提高他们的整体研究技能和计划，而不仅仅是展示海报和论文。会议将在会议期间举办以学生为中心的专题会议，主要安排在常规会议结束的同时或之后，包括博士研讨会和NSF REU研讨会，这将为学生与会者提供与同行和资深研究人员互动的丰富机会。今年，UCC/BDCAT首次欢迎以学生为中心的项目，即数据科学、系统和安全本科生研究研讨会（NSF REU Symposium），这将极大地丰富UCC/BDCAT的学生项目，让本科生研究人员参加该活动，展示他们在云计算和大数据科学与技术方面的研究工作。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 UCC 2022 and BDCAT 2022 conferences will provide a premier international platform for researchers in both academic and industry to present new discoveries, developments, research results, as well as the latest trends and new challenges in cloud/edge computing, and big-data computing and technologies. The conferences, to be held at the Marriott-Portland Downtown Waterfront in Portland, Oregon, in December 6-9, 2022, is organized by a leading group of experts in cloud computing and big data technologies and will bring together researchers, developers and users from academia, industry, laboratories, and commerce to discuss recent advances and trends in cloud computing and big data technologies. This is a proposal to fund students’ traveling to participate in the conference to engage deeply with the UCC/BDCAT research community. The UCC/BDCAT student participation program provides a comprehensive means for students to improve their overall research skills and planning, beyond presenting posters and papers. The conference will run specific student-centric sessions during the conference, mainly scheduled in parallel or after the end of the regular sessions, including a Doctoral Symposium, and an NSF REU Symposium, which will provide rich opportunities for student attendees to interact with peers and senior researchers. This year for the first time, UCC/BDCAT welcomes the student-focused program, Symposium for Undergraduate Research in Data Science, Systems, and Security (NSF REU Symposium), which will greatly enrich the UCC/BDCAT student programs, bringing undergraduate researchers to the event to present their research work in cloud computing and big data science and technologies.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.
