This grant supports participation of approximately 12-15 graduate students from US institutions in the first instance of the Conference on Online Social Networks (COSN) of the Association for Computing Machinery, to be held in Boston, Massachusetts, on October 7-8, 2013. Participation in conferences such as COSN is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, provides students with an opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and exposes them to leading edge research in the field. Attendance at the inaugural COSN event is especially important as it will be the first unified meeting of core members of the research community, the result of merger of six different workshops held over the last few years that were co-located with a diverse set of conferences.This project integrates research and education of students through exposure to a premier technical meeting in online social networks. Students will have the opportunity to observe high-quality presentations and interact with senior researchers in the field. The proposed student participation is expected to have a positive impact on the students' research interests. The project will promote diversity by encouraging and enabling women and other under-represented minorities to participate. Furthermore, the truly international flavor of COSN as an annual conference is reflected in the composition of the Technical Program Committee as well as the expected set of authors of papers. As such, it cultivates international research interactions and presents a tremendous opportunity to students.

这笔赠款支持来自美国机构的约 12-15 名研究生参加将于 2013 年 10 月 7-8 日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的计算机协会在线社交网络会议 (COSN) 的首届会议参加 COSN 等会议是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分，它为学生提供了与更多高级研究人员互动的机会，并使他们接触到该领域的前沿研究。参加首届 COSN 活动尤为重要，因为这将是研究界核心成员的第一次统一会议，是过去几年举办的六个不同研讨会与不同会议在同一地点举行的结果该项目通过在线社交网络中参加顶级技术会议，将学生的研究和教育结合起来。学生将有机会观看高质量的演讲并与该领域的资深研究人员互动。拟议的学生参与预计将对学生的研究兴趣产生积极影响。 该项目将通过鼓励和帮助妇女和其他代表性不足的少数群体参与来促进多样性。此外，COSN 作为年度会议的真正国际风味体现在技术程序委员会的组成以及预期的论文作者群体中。因此，它培养了国际研究互动，并为学生提供了巨大的机会。
