ABSTRACT
This award is for student travel support for attending the 36th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC) in Augusta, Georgia, October 25-27, 2022. DISC is a premier conference on distributed computing with an emphasis on theoretical foundations, modeling, and analysis of distributed systems. This grant will help to broaden the student participation in the conference and expose the students to state-of-the-art research on distributed computing. Emphasis is given to students from underrepresented population groups. The grant aims to support 20 students.
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.
PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT
Disclaimer
This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
This grant helped to provide funding for student travel support for attending the 36th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC) that was held in Augusta, Georgia, October 25-27, 2022. The conference took place at Augusta University (AU). DISC is a premier conference on distributed computing with an emphasis on theoretical foundations inspired by real-life applications and state of the art technological advances in distributed systems. This grant helps to enhance student participation and broaden the audience of distributed computing to a wider population. In the DISC conference, the students had the opportunity to acquire a holistic idea about distributed computing concepts, problems and solution techniques to be applied in practical situations.
The studens were chosen for funding by a panel. The selection committee consisted of three members:
Costas Busch (AU),
Bogdan Chlebus (AU),
Alexander Schwarzmann (AU).
The selection committee funded 9 students that met the selection criteria out of which 7 are graduate and 2 undergraduate students:
Asma Jodeiri Akbarfam (AU)
Ladan Kian (AU) Nour Alhussien (AU)
Ramesh Adhikari (AU)
Troyer Dane (AU, undergraduate)
Jeff Benson (AU, undergraduate)
Anya Chaturvedi (Arizona State University)
Joseph Oglio ( Kent State University)
Swapnil Guragain (Kent State University)
The diversity criteria were met since 4 out of the 9 funded students were from underrepresented groups (female).
This grant allowed 9 students to participate in the DISC conference, which would not have been able to participate otherwise. Participation in DISC provided the opportunity for the students to learn about the latest technological trends related to distributed computing and the related new research directions. Hopefully, the students will adopt distributed computing in their own research that will be helpful for their future careers. The grant also enabled the participation of underrepresented groups (4 females) in distributed computing.
The results of the student suppoer on this award were reported to the business meeting of the conference.
