TRAVEL SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS

The goal of the travel grant program is to encourage participation in the PERFORMANCE 2005 conference by students that would normally find it difficult to attend. Applications are accepted from students at degree granting institutions throughout the world. The committee thanks IBM Research, Texas Instruments and France Telecom R&D for funding this program for all students.

WHO SHOULD APPLY

All Ph.D. students are encouraged to apply. Selection criteria will include evidence of a serious interest in measurement and modeling of computer systems, as demonstrated by publications, coursework and project experience. PERFORMANCE 2005 encourages participation of women and under-represented minorities.

WHAT IS COVERED

The amount of support provided to each student is intended to cover the student's conference and tutorials registration fees (early registration only), travel (economy airfare, public transportation such as bus and train fares only), and lodging for 3 (if the student does not register for tutorials) or 4 (if the student registers for tutorials) nights. The breakdown of cost will differ based on the student's location. The amount awarded to students will depend on the total funds available and the number of successful applications received. The maximum grant amount is $800.

HOW TO APPLY

An application for a travel grant will consist of:
  1. A letter from the student,
  2. The student's curriculum vitae,
  3. A recommendation letter from the student's advisor.
 The letter from the student should:
  • indicate why the student believes he or she would benefit from attending the PERFORMANCE 2005 conference,
  • contain a brief summary of research interests and accomplishments to date,
  • describe areas reflected in the PERFORMANCE 2005 program that would impact the student's research.
The recommendation letter from the student's advisor should:
  • confirm that the student is a full-time student and a Ph.D. candidate in good standing,
  • indicate why the advisor believes the student would benefit from attending the conference,
  • give the advisor's opinion about the strengths and potential contributions of the student.
Please send application and recommendation letters in ASCII, PostScript, or PDF format (only) by e-mail to:
  • Li Zhang (zhangli(at)us.ibm.com) for US institutions;
