The 12th International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT) will take place December 12-15 in Irvine, California, US. This award assists 15 US-based graduate students to attend this conference. Participation in conferences such as CoNEXT forms a central part of the graduate school experience as it provides students with an opportunity to interact with senior researchers from academia as well as industry and exposes them to leading-edge research in the field. ACM CoNEXT emphasizes interactions among networking researchers from many countries; and attending CoNEXT presents an excellent opportunity for US graduate students to connect with a thriving international research community. As in past years, CoNEXT 2016 will include a special student workshop that will enable students to present and obtain feedback on their work in progress. The support from this award will enable students to attend the main conference and associated workshops at CoNEXT 2016. These students would otherwise be unable to attend the conference. The travel grant chair is committed to encouraging the participation of women and under-represented minorities. Intellectual Merit: This project provides travel support for graduate students to attend CoNEXT 2016 and the associated workshops. This program will expose students to new ideas in emerging research areas and allow them to interact with other researchers thereby broadening their intellectual horizons. In particular, the student workshop focuses on providing students with an opportunity to present their work in progress, receive feedback on their work, and obtain valuable experience in writing and presenting technical papers. Broader Impacts: This project integrates research and education of students through exposure to a premier technical meeting in computer networks and communications. Students will have the opportunity to observe high-quality presentations and interact with senior researchers in the field both in the main conference and the associated workshops. The proposed student participation will have a positive impact on the quality of their research. Women and other minorities are especially encouraged to participate. The CoNEXT conference has developed into a top-tier international conference, presenting a tremendous opportunity for students to expand their breadth of ideas, research skills, and technical perspectives.

第十二届新兴网络实验和技术国际会议 (CoNEXT) 将于 12 月 12 日至 15 日在美国加利福尼亚州欧文市举行。该奖项资助 15 名美国研究生参加本次会议。参加 CoNEXT 等会议是研究生院经历的核心部分，因为它为学生提供了与学术界和工业界的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。 ACM CoNEXT强调来自多个国家的网络研究人员之间的互动；参加 CoNEXT 为美国研究生提供了与蓬勃发展的国际研究界建立联系的绝佳机会。与往年一样，CoNEXT 2016 将包括一个特别的学生研讨会，使学生能够展示他们正在进行的工作并获得反馈。该奖项的支持将使学生能够参加 CoNEXT 2016 的主会议和相关研讨会。否则这些学生将无法参加会议。旅费补助主席致力于鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数群体的参与。智力优势：该项目为研究生参加 CoNEXT 2016 及相关研讨会提供差旅支持。该计划将使学生接触新兴研究领域的新想法，并允许他们与其他研究人员互动，从而拓宽他们的知识视野。特别是，学生研讨会的重点是为学生提供展示其正在进行的工作、接收工作反馈以及获得撰写和展示技术论文的宝贵经验的机会。更广泛的影响：该项目通过参加计算机网络和通信领域的顶级技术会议，将学生的研究和教育结合起来。学生将有机会在主会议和相关研讨会上观看高质量的演讲并与该领域的高级研究人员互动。拟议的学生参与将对他们的研究质量产生积极影响。特别鼓励妇女和其他少数群体参与。 CoNEXT 会议已发展成为顶级国际会议，为学生提供了拓展思想广度、研究技能和技术视角的巨大机会。
