This award supports up to 7 U.S.-based graduate students whose training on the research cyberinfrastructure will substantially benefit by attending the Annual Modeling and Simulation conference (ANNSIM), which is the flagship conference of the Society for Modeling & Simulation (SCS). ANNSIM will train students by providing access to expertise through twelve tracks. In particular, cyberinfrastructure training will be provided through presentations of simulation software tools in the Annual Simulation Symposium as well as model libraries, repositories, and data formats in the Theory and Foundations track. Since advanced networks are important for cyberinfrastructure, ANNSIM also provides a track on telecommunication systems, which covers topics such as software defined networking, edge computing, or green and energy efficient communications. Improving the use of existing datasets and software, while supporting advances in networking, software developments, standards and certifications, will contribute to cyberinfrastructure research. In addition to these twelve tracks, ANNSIM includes several in-depth tutorials, taught by international experts in their field. The twelve tracks and the tutorials ensure that attendees are well-aware of advances in information technology systems through advanced software, data, networked systems, and simulation environments. By providing access to leading experts, ANNSIM ensures that the next generation of scientists has the tools, motivations, and career aspirations to contribute to cyberinfrastructure. Every NSF-funded participant will be matched with a mentor chosen among the experienced scholars in attendance, which will help build a professional network. This award contributes to cyberinfrastructure training by supporting the attendance of up to 7 US-based students at the Annual Modeling Modeling and Simulation conference (ANNSIM). The conference will include a direct learning component by providing multiple tutorials, so that students can develop skills in specific software packages or apply advanced techniques relevant to the research cyberinfrastructure. This research can range from software for digital twins to datasets and libraries in model-driven system design. The conference gives particular attention to students (e.g., PhD Colloquium with presentations followed by interactive poster sessions), which helps them connect with leading researchers to identify better tools and/or additional datasets for experiments. A barrier in cyberinfrastructure training students is not necessarily a lack of existing tools or repositories, but a lack of awareness about these tools. Keynote speakers in simulation conferences have a reputation for informing and motivating students in contributing to the cyberinfrastructure, for instance by covering methods and software for system and application performance. Attending these talks will ensure that students have specific directions to apply the tools that they have gained onto open research problems in the cyberinfrastructure. Students will submit articles and receive feedback from the technical program committee in each track. The selection committee seeks students who are enrolled in an eligible US-based accredited college or university, lack access to sufficient funding to attend the conference, and have an accepted submission. The committee will make special efforts to encourage the application of members of under-represented groups and form a balanced mix of award recipients.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.

该奖项支持多达7名美国的研究生，他们的研究网络基础设施培训将通过参加年度建模和模拟会议（ANNSIM），这是建模与模拟协会（SCS）的旗舰会议，从而大大受益。 Annsim将通过十二首曲目提供获得专业知识的培训。特别是，将通过年度模拟研讨会中的仿真软件工具以及模型库，存储库和数据格式的仿真软件工具提供网络基础培训。由于高级网络对于网络基础结构很重要，因此Annsim还提供了有关电信系统的轨道，该系统涵盖了诸如软件定义的网络，边缘计算或绿色和节能通信等主题。改善现有数据集和软件的使用，同时支持网络，软件开发，标准和认证的进展，将有助于Cyber​​infrastructure研究。除了这十二首轨道外，Annsim还包括由国际专家在其领域教授的几个深入的教程。十二个轨道和教程确保与会者通过高级软件，数据，网络系统和仿真环境了解信息技术系统的进步。通过提供与领先的专家的访问，Annsim确保下一代科学家具有为网络基础设施做出贡献的工具，动机和职业愿望。每个由NSF资助的参与者都将与参加会议的经验丰富的学者中选择的导师相匹配，这将有助于建立专业的网络。该奖项通过在年度建模建模和仿真会议（ANNSIM）上支持高达7个美国学生的出勤来促进网络基础设施培训。会议将通过提供多个教程来包括直接学习组件，以便学生可以开发特定软件包的技能或应用与研究网络基础结构相关的高级技术。这项研究的范围从数字双胞胎的软件到模型驱动系统设计的数据集和库。会议特别关注学生（例如，博士学位座谈会以及演讲，然后是交互式海报会议），这有助于他们与领先的研究人员建立联系，以确定更好的工具和/或其他数据集进行实验。网络基础设施培训学生的障碍不一定缺乏现有工具或存储库，而是对这些工具的认识不足。模拟会议中的主题演讲者在告知和激励学生为网络基础架构做出贡献方面享有声誉，例如，通过涵盖用于系统和应用程序性能的方法和软件。参加这些谈判将确保学生有特定的指示，以应用他们在网络基础设施中获得的开放研究问题上获得的工具。学生将提交文章，并收到每条曲目中技术计划委员会的反馈。选拔委员会寻求参加合格的美国认可的大学或大学的学生，缺乏足够的资金参加会议，并接受了公认的提交。该委员会将做出特别的努力，以鼓励代表性不足的团体成员的应用，并形成奖励获得者的平衡组合。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响评论来评估值得支持的。标准。
