Call for Applications: Student Travel Grants

APPLICATIONS DUE APRIL 27, 2007

The 37th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks is soliciting applications for travel scholarships to partially offset the cost of students planning to attend DSN-2007 in Edinburgh, UK, June 25-28, 2007.

To be eligible, the applicant must be enrolled in a degree program at the time of DSN-2007. Authors of accepted papers, students currently submitting papers to the Student Forum, and other students are all welcome to apply. Participation, such as presenting a regular paper or a paper in the Student Forum, will be used as one criterion in awarding the scholarships.

We anticipate awarding scholarships in the range of $500, thanks to the support of IEEE and IFIP.
